Start by putting in 2.5 cups of warm water into a bowl.

Add 1 tablespoon of sugar and mix it in.

Add 1 teaspoon of active dry yeast and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.

After 5 minutes, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of salt.

Gradually mix in 5 cups of bread flour, adding more as needed by feel.

Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it can stretch thin without tearing.

Divide the dough into four equal balls, using olive oil to coat the containers.

Cover the dough balls and refrigerate them for at least 24 hours for cold rising.

Preheat the oven to 550°F on convection roast setting for a full hour with a baking steel inside.

Stretch the dough into a pizza shape and place it on a floured surface.

Add a layer of low moisture mozzarella cheese, then add desired toppings like pepperoni and fresh basil.

Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle oregano on top.

Transfer the pizza to the preheated steel and bake until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
