How to Make a Supreme Pizza
Homemade pizza has never been so easy! Just read on for a basic overview of the steps!
- Prepare dough and while it is rising, prep ingredients.
- Top pizza with sauce, toppings and of course cheese.
- Bake until bubbly and browned.
Let pizza sit about 10 minutes before slicing and serving, this keeps the cheese from sliding off.
PRO TIP: Before adding the oil to the prepared pizza dough, poke the surface of both crusts with a fork. This is called “docking” and prevents large bubbles from forming on the crust. It’s what professional pizzaiolos do!

Homemade Supreme Pizza
Ingredients
Dough
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar or 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 cup warm water
- 4 tablespoons olive oil divided
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
Toppings
- ½ cup pizza sauce or to taste
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
- 4 ounces ground pork sausage or ground beef, cooked
- 2 ounces pepperoni chopped
- 1 ounce salami sliced, or other deli meat as desired
- ¼ cup diced green bell pepper
- ¼ cup sliced black olives
- 3 tablespoons thinly sliced red onion
- 2 large mushrooms thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- In a small bowl, mix together the yeast, sugar, and water. Cover and let stand for 5-10 minutes, until bubbles form on top.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together yeast mixture, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and salt. Add in 3 cups of flour, a cup at a time, mixing after each addition. If the dough seems sticky, add more flour, a couple of tablespoons at a time.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead until slightly stiff, about 6 minutes.
- If time allows, let the dough rise for 1 hour.* If allowing to rise, punch the dough down before the next step.
- Lightly grease two pizza pans with oil. Roll out the dough and stretch to fill the pans. Use your fingers to press and stretch as needed.
- Let dough rise in pans for 10 minutes. Poke pizza dough with a fork all over.
- Brush pizza dough with remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and top with pizza sauce, toppings, and cheese as desired.
- Bake 15-18 minutes or until cheese is melted and crust is golden.

Question: Every other recipe I read says to add cheese before toppings. What’s your opinion? Also, what about par baking the crust? Thank you!
Hi Stephanie, for this recipe we don’t find par baking the crust necessary. But if you prefer it that way you can, you will just want to adjust the final cooking time accordingly. I have always made my pizzas with the cheese as the last topping. Then the fresh toppings added on top of the cheese once baked. But you could make it either way!
Thanks Holly
To me the best way to reheat pizza is in the air fryer.
I agree! I sometimes think pizza is even better the next day reheated in the air fryer!
What kind of pizza sauce do you use?
Any store bought or homemade pizza sauce will work Elyannah!
I ‘ve made this three times already. I used store bought dough abd crushed tomatoes instead of pizza sauce .Thanks for a great recipe .
So happy you love it, Kim!
Holly could you tell me the difference between Pizza sauce and speg. sauce. to put on pizza and if i have the speg. sauce what could i put in to put on the pizza thank you very much
Pizza sauce is typically uncooked ground tomatoes, whereas spaghetti sauce is cooked. Both will work on pizza if you only have spaghetti sauce!
I like pizza send me pizza recipe
You’re in the right spot Kamalof! Enjoy the pizza.
Can you make dough ahead of time?
If so, how long before you make pizzas would you have to pull dough out of fridge? Also, do you need to let it rise sgain?
Pizza dough can be made hours ahead of time and stored in the fridge. Rest on the counter for about 20 minutes and then roll to fit pans.
