Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure it's hot enough to cook the pizza evenly.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Dough

    On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a round shape, about 12 inches in diameter. Make sure it's even in thickness.

  3. 3

    Add Olive Oil

    Brush the rolled-out pizza dough with 2 tablespoons of olive oil to add flavor and prevent the crust from becoming soggy.

Assemble Pizza

  1. 4

    Spread Pizza Sauce

    Evenly spread 1 cup of pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edge for the crust.

  2. 5

    Add Cheese Blend

    Sprinkle 2 cups of mozzarella cheese, 1 cup of cheddar cheese, and 1 cup of parmesan cheese evenly over the sauce.

  3. 6

    Add Optional Toppings

    If desired, sprinkle 1 cup of fresh basil leaves, 1 cup of sliced black olives, and 1 cup of sliced pepperoni over the cheese.

Baking

  1. 7

    Bake the Pizza

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

  2. 8

    Cool and Slice

    Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing it into wedges.
