Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 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. 2

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) so it's hot when the pizza goes in.

  3. 3

    Roll Out the Dough

    On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a round shape, approximately 12 inches in diameter.

  4. 4

    Add Sauce

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

  5. 5

    Add Cheese and Pepperoni

    Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then layer the pepperoni slices evenly on top of the cheese.

  6. 6

    Season the Pizza

    Drizzle olive oil over the top, and sprinkle Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper evenly across the pizza.

  7. 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. 8

    Serve

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