- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, Fleischmann's® yeast, sugar and salt.
- Add the warm water and corn oil and mix together until well combined.

- On a floured surface, roll out the dough to a 6”x 20” rectangle about ¼” thick.
- Gently slide a piece of parchment paper underneath the dough.
- Using the knife, cut out 3” tall triangles about ½” apart on the bottom of the rectangle.
- Spread the pizza sauce on the top of the dough.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly.
- Place the pepperoni slices on top, slightly overlapping each one.
- Fold the cut ends over the toppings. Press the ends together and tuck the excess dough underneath.
