Instructions
Into a medium/large bowl, add water, yeast, baking soda, sugar, salt, olive oil, and flour. Stir to combine.
Once a ball begins to form, switch to using a soaking wet hand to finish mixing until a ball is formed.
Cover and allow to 'rise' on the counter for 90 minutes.
Divide dough ball into two even (300g) pieces, then round and form into a ball.
Oil two pieces of parchment and place the ball in between them (oiled sides toward the dough).
Use a large flat surface to press out the dough ball into a wide round, then use a rolling pin (or wine bottle) to press the dough into a 12” round.
Add all sauce ingredients to a high sided container and spin with an immersion blender for 20-30sec.
Preheat oven to 550F/287C and place pizza steel or stone on the middle rack.
To build your pizza, create a raised crust edge.
Add about 3 spoonfuls of sauce and spread edge to edge.
Follow with the fresh mozzarella, breaking it down as you go.
Follow with the shredded mozzarella and pepperonis.
Slide the dough (and parchment underneath) onto a pizza peel and load it onto the preheated pizza steel/stone.
Bake for 7min at 550F/287C.
After 7min, remove the first pizza while you bake your second pizza for 7min.
Remove pizza 1 from parchment and load directly onto pizza steel.
Bake for 2 min. Repeat with pizza 2.
