Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Make crust: Combine 2 cups flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add warm water and oil; mix until well blended, about 1 minute. Gradually add remaining flour, a little at a time, until a soft, sticky dough forms. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Transfer dough to a floured surface; knead until dough is smooth and elastic, about 4 minutes. Add more flour as needed. (If using RapidRise yeast, let dough rest, covered, for 10 minutes.) Divide dough in half. Lightly flour your hands, then pat each piece of dough onto the prepared pizza pans. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Top dough with sauce, cheese, and pepperoni. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Bake in the preheated oven until crusts are browned and cheese is bubbly, 18 to 20 minutes. Rotate pizza pans between the top and bottom oven racks halfway through baking. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Recipe Tip This recipe only uses half of a 12-ounce can of tomato paste. You can store the leftover tomato paste in the freezer.
