How to Make the Dough

- Add the salt and knead until the dough begins to smooth out, then add the olive oil and continue kneading until smooth and elastic with a final dough temperature of 72–75°F.
- Cover and rest at room temperature until the dough has risen about 25–50%, usually 1–2 hours.
- Divide into equal portions and shape into tight, smooth dough balls.
- Place seam-side down in lightly greased covered containers and refrigerate for 48–72 hours.
- Remove from the refrigerator 2–3 hours before baking and keep covered until relaxed and near room temperature.
- Stretch gently by hand, preserving a narrow rim; top evenly without piling ingredients in the center.

- Distribute the pepperoni and sausage evenly, then add the mushrooms, bell pepper, onion, and olives in a light, even layer.
