Toppings

Method

Assemble and Bake

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Shape the Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it or stretch it out to form a pizza crust to your desired thickness.

  3. 3

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Transfer the crust to a pizza stone or baking sheet. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the base, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

  4. 4

    Add Pepperoni and Seasoning

    Evenly distribute the pepperoni slices over the cheese. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and add a dusting of grated Parmesan cheese.

  5. 5

    Bake the Pizza

    Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden, and the crust is crispy.

  6. 6

    Cool and Serve

    Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice into wedges and serve hot.
