Pizza Ingredients

Method

Pizza Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

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

  2. 2

    Add Tomato Sauce

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

  3. 3

    Add Cheese and Toppings

    Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese generously on top of the sauce. Then, layer the pepperoni slices and Kalamata olives evenly over the cheese.

  4. 4

    Season and Drizzle

    Drizzle olive oil over the toppings and season with salt and black pepper. Add fresh basil leaves to taste.

  5. 5

    Bake the Pizza

    Transfer the pizza to a baking sheet or pizza stone and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a minute, slice it up, and serve hot.
