Pizza Toppings

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness and shape.

  2. 2

    Add the Sauce

    Spread the San Marzano tomato purée evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese and Toppings

    Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce. Then, add the pepperoni slices on top of the cheese. Drizzle olive oil over the toppings and sprinkle with salt, dried oregano, and dried basil.

  4. 4

    Bake the Pizza

    Transfer the pizza to a preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake in the oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  5. 5

    Slice and Serve

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