Method

In a cup, combine the warm water, sugar, and instant yeast. Mix and let sit for about 10 minutes until foamy.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
Mix until a dough forms. The dough should be soft, slightly sticky, and not too firm.
Form the dough into a ball and let it rise. You can refrigerate it overnight or let it rise at room temperature for about 1 hour.
Once risen, divide the dough in half and shape as desired.
Press the dough into a buttered baking tray.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven and top with tomato sauce, cubed cheese, peppers, olives, and Nema Beef Pepperoni.
Return to the oven and bake for another 15–20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let cool slightly, slice, and serve.
