Step 1

Into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook measure water, oil, yeast, sugar, flour, and salt. Mix on low for 3 min or until combined. Increase to high speed and continue to mix for about 4 minutes. Transfer to an oiled bowl, cover, and ferment at room temp for 30 minutes. Add 4 stretch and folds as shown @1:44. Cover and let bulk ferment at room temperature for another 30 minutes. Divide dough into 2 equal pieces. Pre-fold/shape, then round each ball into a taught ball as shown @2:30 and transfer to an oiled sheet tray. Cover and refrigerate for 4-24 hours.

Step 2

Before you build your pizzas, pull the dough balls from the fridge and allow to temper for about 90 minutes, covered.

Step 3

Combine all sauce ingredients in a container and blend with an immersion blender.

Step 4

Preheat oven and pizza stone or steel to 550F/287C for 30 minutes. Dust dough balls and work surface generously with finely ground cornmeal and flour before placing dough on work surface. using your fingertips, work to spread the dough into a large circle from the middle out, making sure to leave a raised border around the perimeter for the crust. Pop any air bubbles. Once the dough is about 8" in diameter, continue to increase the dough size using the stretch, flip, and rotate maneuver shown @7:25 until the pizza reaches about 12" across.

Step 5

Dust a pizza peel with cornmeal, then flip the dough onto the peel. Spread approx 1/4c or 5-6 tablespoons of sauce onto the pizza dough, leaving about a 1/2" border for the crust. Sprinkle with cheese, a pinch of salt, and thinly sliced pepperonis (or other toppings of your choice). Transfer the pizza onto the preheated steel/stone and bake until crust is well browned and cheese is melted and golden (about 7 minutes in my oven, but baking times will vary depending on your oven).
