Pizza Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  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

    On a floured surface, stretch or roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness, about 12 inches in diameter.

  3. 3

    Add Sauce

    Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.

  5. 5

    Add Pepperoni

    Layer the pepperoni slices over the cheese, distributing them evenly.

  6. 6

    Season

    Drizzle olive oil over the top, and sprinkle Italian seasoning and salt to taste.

  7. 7

    Bake

    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 the cheese is bubbly.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, slice it, and enjoy!
