Pizza Ingredients

Method

Pizza Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.

  2. 2

    Roll out the Dough

    On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a round shape, about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer the dough to a greased pizza pan or a pizza peel if using a stone.

  3. 3

    Add Sauce

    Spread the San Marzano tomato sauce evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.

  5. 5

    Add Pepperoni

    Arrange the hand-sliced pepperoni over the cheese, covering as much of the surface as desired.

  6. 6

    Season

    Drizzle olive oil over the top 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 brown and the cheese is bubbly.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve hot.
