Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups pizza sauce
- 1 roll refrigerated pizza dough
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup sliced pepperoni
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 sheet parchment paper
Instructions
Start by lining the crock pot with a sheet of parchment paper. This will make it easier to remove the pizza later and prevent sticking.
Lightly grease the parchment paper with 1 teaspoon of olive oil using a brush or paper towel.
Roll out the refrigerated pizza dough to fit the bottom of the crock pot. Press it down evenly into the base.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, using the back of a spoon.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Add a layer of sliced pepperoni (or any other desired toppings such as mushrooms, bell peppers, or cooked sausage).
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the toppings.
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning evenly over the cheese for extra flavor.
Put the lid on the crock pot and set it to the 'Low' setting.
Cook the pizza on low for 2 hours, or until the edges of the crust are golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Once cooked, carefully lift the pizza out of the crock pot by pulling up the parchment paper.
Allow the pizza to cool for 5 minutes, then slice into pieces and serve. Enjoy!
