Make the Dough: In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Combine warm water and olive oil, stirring until it forms a cohesive dough. Knead for 6-8 minutes until smooth.
Let it Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat as well.
Shape the Pizza: Roll the dough out on a floured surface to your desired thickness, then transfer to a pizza peel sprinkled with cornmeal or a lined baking sheet.
Add Toppings: Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with mozzarella and parmesan cheeses. Add pepperoni if using, and season with herbs.
Cooking instructions: Place in a preheated oven and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust turns a golden brown and the cheese bubbles.
To serve: Take the pizza out of the oven, cut into slices, and enjoy while warm.
