Steps:

• In a large pot over medium heat, heat oil. Add sausage and beef and sauté until no longer pink. Remove from pot onto a paper towel lined plate. Drain fat if needed, reserving some for cooking vegetables.
• Add onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms to the pot. Cook until onion is translucent and mushrooms and peppers have released some moisture, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Season with salt, garlic powder, oregano, and chili flakes.
• Add chicken broth, pizza sauce, and fire roasted tomatoes. Add back in the meat, stir, and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, for 25-30 minutes, until soup is thickened slightly.
• Top pizza with mozzarella and pepperoni. Cover with a lid and let cheese melt, about 3 minutes.
• Garnish with parsley, parmesan, and red chili flakes. Serve.

Steps:

• For sauce: Combine all sauce ingredients with 1/2 cup water in a medium bowl; set aside for flavors to develop while making crust. Freeze remaining paste .
• For crusts: Combine 2 cups of flour with the dry yeast, sugar and salt. Add the water and oil and mix until well blended (about 1 minute). Gradually add enough remaining flour slowly, until a soft, sticky dough ball is formed.
• Knead for about 4 minutes, on a floured surface, until dough is smooth and elastic. Add more flour, if needed. (If using RapidRise® Yeast, let dough rest, covered, for 10 minutes.)
• Divide dough in half. Pat each half (with floured hands) into a 12-inch greased pizza pan OR roll dough to fit pans.
• For pizzas: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Top crusts with sauce, pepperoni and cheese.
• Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until crusts are browned and cheese is bubbly. For best results, rotate pizza pans between top and bottom oven racks halfway through baking.
