Combine warm tap water and instant yeast in a mixing bowl and let bloom for 5 minutes.

Add all-purpose flour, olive oil, and kosher salt to the yeast mixture.

Mix the dough on medium speed for 4 to 5 minutes until it starts to clear the bowl.

Wrap the bowl with plastic and let the dough rise on the counter for 2 and 1/2 hours until it is about 2 and 1/2 times its original size.

Oil a half sheet pan and turn the dough out onto it, then stretch it to form a 10-inch round using your fingertips.

Cover the dough with an additional sheet pan and let it relax on the counter for 1 hour.

In a separate bowl, combine crushed tomatoes, dried garlic, dried oregano, crushed chili flakes, salt, and sugar to make the sauce.

Preheat the oven to 550°F (288°C).

Once the dough is relaxed, push it into the corners of the oiled sheet pan.

Layer the thick sliced mozzarella cheese directly on the dough, covering it completely.

Spread the prepared sauce over the cheese evenly, avoiding a soupy consistency.

Add thick sliced pepperoni on top of the sauce in a liberal manner.

Finish with a sprinkle of grated Romano and Parmesan cheese, and add some Calabrian chilies if desired.
