Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (enough for a 12-inch pizza) pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1.5 cups, shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups, grated parmesan cheese
- 20 pieces pepperoni slices
- 1 medium, thinly sliced (mixed colors recommended) bell peppers
- 0.5 medium, thinly sliced red onion
- 0.25 cups, sliced black olives
- 0.5 cups pizza sauce
- 6 pieces (optional for garnish) fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons (optional for spice) red chili flakes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat up.
On a lightly floured surface, stretch and roll the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer it to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
Brush 1 tablespoon of olive oil evenly over the surface of the dough. This will help create a crispy crust.
In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Spread this mixture generously over the dough.
Evenly spread the pizza sauce over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce, followed by the grated parmesan cheese.
Top the cheese with an even layer of pepperoni slices, sliced bell peppers, and red onion.
Scatter the black olives over the top for an added salty and briny flavor.
Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the assembled pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake the pizza for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of red chili flakes if desired.
Slice the pizza into 8 pieces and serve immediately for a delicious teammmm-inspired feast!
