Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare the Pizza Dough
If using store-bought, follow package instructions. If making from scratch, combine flour, yeast, salt, and water to form a dough. Knead for about 10 minutes until smooth, then let it rise for 1 hour.
- 2
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) so it's hot when the pizza goes in.
- 3
Roll Out the Dough
On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a round shape, approximately 12 inches in diameter.
- 4
Add Sauce
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the surface of the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- 5
Add Cheese and Pepperoni
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then layer the pepperoni slices evenly on top of the cheese.
- 6
Season the Pizza
Drizzle olive oil over the top, and sprinkle Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper evenly across the pizza.
- 7
Bake the Pizza
Carefully transfer the pizza onto a baking sheet or pizza stone. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- 8
Serve
Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice and serve hot.
