Steps

Step 1

Combine dry dough ingredients in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add olive oil and water and stir by hand until dough comes together and no dry flour remains. Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for 12 to 24 hours

Step 2

Pour remaining 40g olive oil into a 13- by 18-inch rimmed baking sheet and spread over entire inner surface with your hands. Transfer dough to baking sheet and turn in oil until thoroughly coated. Spread gently with your hands. (It will not stretch to fill the pan; this is fine.) Cover baking sheet with plastic wrap and allow to rise at room temperature until dough has slackened and started to spread out toward the edges of the pan, 2 to 3 hours. Carefully remove plastic wrap from pizza dough. Using oiled hands, and working as gently as possible to maintain air bubbles, push and stretch dough into the corners of the pan by pressing out from the center, lifting each corner, and stretching it beyond the edge of the pan. It should pull back until pan is just filled with dough. Set aside for 20 to 30 minutes while you make the sauce.

Step 3

To make the sauce, heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until softened and aromatic, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes and juices from the can and break up them into fine chunks. Stir in sugar. Bring to a bare simmer and allow to cook for about 15 minutes to let flavors meld. Season to taste with salt. Set aside and allow to cool slightly.

Step 4

Thirty minutes before baking, adjust oven rack to lower position and preheat oven to 550°F

Step 5

Spread mozzarella cheese evenly over surface of the dough. Spoon sauce on top of cheese and spread with the back of a spoon. Spread pepperoni slices evenly over surface and sprinkle with the parm. Transfer to oven and bake until pepperoni is crisp and curled and bottom of pizza is golden brown ~10 minutes. With some ovens, you may need to loosely tent the top of the pizza with aluminum foil and continue baking until the bottom is golden and crisp.

Step 6

Remove pizza from oven. Sprinkle with remaining parm
