Pizza (16" thin-crust with two toppings)

1 each pizza dough (16-inch, thin crust)

1 cup pizza sauce

3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

30 each topping 1 (e.g., pepperoni, sliced)

1 cup topping 2 (e.g., green bell pepper, thinly sliced)

1 tbs olive oil (for crust)

1 tsp Dried oregano

1/4 tsp Celtic sea salt

Cheese Breadstick (one order)

6 each breadstick dough (or frozen/par-baked breadstick base)

3 tbs Unsalted butter

1 tsp Garlic (minced)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for breadsticks)

2 tbs Grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp Dried parsley

1/4 tsp Celtic sea salt

Soda

4 each canned soda (assorted flavors)

Method

Pizza (16" thin-crust with two toppings)

Preheat and prepare oven

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating. Lightly oil a 16-inch pizza pan or prepare parchment for a pizza peel.

Shape the dough

On a lightly floured surface or a sheet of parchment, stretch or roll the 16-inch pizza dough to an even 16-inch circle, leaving a slightly thicker edge for the crust. Transfer to the prepared pan or peel.

Season crust

Brush the outer 1-inch crust with olive oil, then sprinkle the crust edge with 1/4 tsp salt and 1 tsp dried oregano evenly.

Sauce and cheese

Spread 1 cup of pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving the oiled crust exposed. Sprinkle 3 cups shredded mozzarella evenly over the sauce.

Add toppings

Distribute topping 1 (about 30 slices pepperoni or equivalent) evenly over half or whole pizza as desired. Arrange topping 2 (1 cup sliced green bell pepper or chosen second topping) evenly across the pizza so both toppings are well distributed.

Bake

Slide the pizza into the preheated oven (onto the stone or pan). Bake at 475°F (245°C) for 10–14 minutes, until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly and beginning to brown. Rotate halfway through baking for even color if your oven has hot spots.

Finish and slice

Remove pizza from oven and let rest 2–3 minutes. Slice into 8 or 10 pieces as desired. Serve hot.

Cheese Breadstick (one order)

Preheat oven or use same oven

If baking separately, preheat oven to 400–425°F (205–220°C). You can bake the breadsticks during the pizza's last 6–8 minutes if oven space and timing allow; breadsticks bake slightly lower temperature and shorter time if par-baked.

Prepare garlic butter

Melt 3 tbs unsalted butter in a small bowl and stir in 1 tsp minced garlic, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1 tsp dried parsley until combined.

Assemble breadsticks

Place 6 breadstick dough pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment or lightly greased. Brush each breadstick generously with the garlic butter. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded mozzarella evenly over the tops, then dust with 2 tbs grated Parmesan.

Bake breadsticks

Bake in preheated oven at 400–425°F (205–220°C) for 10–12 minutes, until the breadsticks are puffed and the cheese is melted and lightly golden. If you baked with the pizza at 475°F, check breadsticks at 8–10 minutes to avoid overbrowning.

Finish

Remove from oven and brush once more lightly with any remaining garlic butter. Sprinkle a pinch more dried parsley and let cool 1–2 minutes before serving.

Soda

Chill 4 cans of soda in the refrigerator for at least 1–2 hours prior to serving, or place cans in an ice bucket for 20–30 minutes to chill quickly. Serve cold alongside the pizza and breadsticks.
