Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pizza dough
- 8 ounces Velveeta cheese
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 5 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness and shape (round or rectangular). Transfer to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet or to a floured pizza peel if using a pizza stone.
Brush the rolled-out dough with olive oil to create a golden crust. Sprinkle the garlic powder evenly over the olive oil.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about 1 inch of crust around the edges bare.
Cut the Velveeta cheese into small cubes and scatter them across the tomato sauce. This ensures easy melting and even distribution.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the Velveeta cubes.
Sprinkle dried oregano and red pepper flakes over the top of the cheese for added flavor.
If using a baking sheet, place it in the oven. If using a pizza stone, carefully slide the pizza onto the hot stone.
Bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
Slice into pieces and serve hot. Enjoy the creamy, cheesy delight!
