Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package (pre-made) or homemade portion Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Pizza sauce
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 20 pieces Pepperoni slices
- 1 Green bell pepper, diced
- 0.5 cup Sliced black olives
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Spray the bottom and sides of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
Roll out the pizza dough into a circular or oval shape that will fit the bottom of your slow cooker. The dough should be about 1/4-inch thick.
Carefully place the dough into the slow cooker, pressing it slightly up the sides to create a crust.
Drizzle the olive oil over the dough and use a pastry brush or spoon to spread it evenly.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce.
Layer the pepperoni slices, diced green bell pepper, and sliced black olives evenly across the cheese layer.
Top with the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan, and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning.
Place a clean kitchen towel or paper towel under the slow cooker lid to catch any condensation and prevent it from dripping onto your pizza.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on High for 2 hours or Low for 4 hours, or until the dough is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Once done, turn off the slow cooker and let the pizza cool slightly for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
