- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt

- ½ cup (128.5 g) pizza sauce
- ¼ cup pepperoni slices, (approximately 25 slices)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine water, yeast, and sugar. Let the mixture rest for about 5 minutes, or until the yeast begins to bloom.

- Pour the reserved oil mixture into the bottom of a 9x11-inch baking dish. Use a pastry brush to coat the bottom of the dish.
- Transfer the risen dough to the baking dish. Work the dough to the edges. Use your fingers to create dimples in the dough.
- Bake the bread for 12 minutes. Carefully remove from the bread from oven to add the toppings.
- Top the partially baked bread with the pizza sauce, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, then the remaining ½ cup of mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for an additional 13-15 minutes, or until the cheese is hot and bubbly.
