Pizza Ingredients

Method

Pizza Directions

  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 it to a pizza stone or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

  4. 4

    Add Toppings

    If you are making a pepperoni pizza, arrange the pepperoni slices evenly on top of the cheese. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

  5. 5

    Bake the Pizza

    Drizzle olive oil over the pizza and place it in the oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

  6. 6

    Cool and Serve

    Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot.
