Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball Pizza dough
- 120 ml Tomato sauce
- 150 grams Mozzarella cheese
- 75 grams Pepperoni slices
- 1 piece Red chili pepper
- 5 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 15 ml Olive oil
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°C (482°F) or as high as it will go.
Place a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet in the oven to preheat.
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 0.5 cm (1/4 inch).
Transfer the rolled dough onto a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Slice the mozzarella cheese into thin pieces and distribute them evenly over the sauce.
Arrange the pepperoni slices over the cheese, slightly overlapping them.
Thinly slice the red chili pepper and scatter the slices over the top, based on how spicy you'd like it.
Add a pinch of salt and black pepper over the toppings.
Carefully slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated stone or baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and beginning to brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven and drizzle with olive oil.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves, tearing them slightly to release their aroma.
Slice the pizza and serve hot.
