Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pre-made pizza dough
- 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 cup Pizza sauce
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 20 slices Pepperoni slices
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 0.5 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.
Lightly flour your work surface and stretch or roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Use your hands or a rolling pin for an even thickness.
Drizzle olive oil over the surface of the dough and gently spread it around with a brush or your fingers.
Carefully transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper to make it easier to transfer to and from the oven.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Arrange the pepperoni slices on top of the cheese, spacing them evenly.
Sprinkle dried oregano over the top, along with crushed red pepper flakes if you like a little heat.
Carefully slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing.
Cut into slices and serve hot. Enjoy your Easy Peppie Pizza!
