Ingredients

  • Pizza dough store bought dough or home made dough (see recipe in menu)
  • 3 tbsp All-purpose flour or more if needed
  • 4 oz Pepperoni sliced

  • Lightly grease a baking sheet or pizza stone or whatever kind of flat oven safe baking pan you are using to cook the pizza with nonstick spray.
  • Clean and dry the counter well. (make sure your hands are dried well before working with the dough) Sprinkle the counter with flour, place the pre-made dough on top of the flour, coating each side so the dough doesnt stick.
  • Begin rolling out the dough using a rolling pin to stretch the dough to fit the baking sheet or pan you are using. Make sure it is being stretched evenly and avoid creating thin spots. (if the dough starts to stick while stretching it, sprinkle flour to prevent it from sticking)
  • Gently place the dough on the baking sheet or pan.
  • Lay down a ring of cheese on the outside of the dough and fold the outside edge over the cheese. Gently crimp with your fingers to create a seal.
  • Evenly ladle and spread a thin layer of sauce on the dough. Top with the remaining cheese then lay down the pepperoni slices.
  • Bake the pizza in the oven for 10 minutes, then rotate the pan and bake until the crust is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted, approximately 8 - 10 minutes more.
  • Let the pizza sit for 2 - 3 minutes before cutting.
