Pizza Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure a crispy crust.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Dough

    On a floured surface, stretch and roll out the pizza dough into a large circle, about 1/4 inch thick. Transfer the dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Add Sauce and Toppings

    Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top, followed by pepperoni slices, bell pepper, and onion.

  4. 4

    Season and Drizzle

    Sprinkle Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper over the toppings. Drizzle olive oil lightly over the pizza for extra flavor.

  5. 5

    Bake the Pizza

    Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

  6. 6

    Slice and Serve

    Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice into big slices and serve hot.
