In a bowl, add 1.5 cups of lukewarm water.

Add 0.5 tablespoons of salt, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 0.5 tablespoons of yeast. Stir until dissolved.

Add 3.5 cups of flour and mix with a wooden spoon until combined.

Cover the bowl with plastic film or a damp cloth and let the dough rise in a warm environment for 45 minutes.

After 45 minutes, degas the dough using a spatula.

Wet your hands to prevent sticking and stretch and fold the dough onto itself, turning the bowl 90 degrees after each fold.

Transfer the dough onto a well greased baking tray and pour some olive oil on top.

Press and spread the dough to fill the tray, then let it relax for 10 to 12 minutes.

After 12 minutes, add more olive oil on top and press and stretch the dough to fill the entire tray.

Wrap the dough with plastic film and let it rise in a warm environment for 1 hour.

After 1 hour, make dimples all over the dough to create nooks for the sauce and toppings.

Spread homemade pizza sauce on top of the dough, which includes sauteed chopped garlic and chili flakes.

Add shredded mozzarella cheese, chopped olives, jalapenos, and pepperoni on top of the sauce.

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.

Place the baking tray in the lowest rack of the oven to ensure even cooking.

Bake the pizza until the crust is crispy and golden brown, then immediately take it out of the pan to prevent sogginess.
