Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Dough

    Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza peel or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Add Tomato Sauce

    Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.

  4. 4

    Sprinkle Cheese

    Evenly distribute the shredded mozzarella cheese over the tomato sauce.

  5. 5

    Add Pepperoni

    Place the pepperoni slices on top of the cheese, distributing them evenly.

  6. 6

    Season

    Drizzle olive oil over the pizza, and sprinkle with dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to taste.

  7. 7

    Bake the Pizza

    Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (or onto the pizza stone) and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.

  8. 8

    Cool and Serve

    Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot.
