- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon cornmeal
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C), ensuring it is very hot before baking.
If using homemade dough, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to fit a pizza stone or baking sheet. Aim for about 12 inches in diameter.
Sprinkle the cornmeal onto your pizza stone or baking sheet to prevent sticking and add a hint of extra flavor.
Place the rolled-out dough onto the prepared stone or baking sheet.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce-covered pizza base.
Evenly distribute the vegetarian beef pepperoni slices over the cheese layer.
Add the sliced bell pepper, red onion, and black olives over the pepperoni in an even layer.
Finish with a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese, dried oregano, and dried basil to enhance the flavors.
Drizzle the olive oil over the top to help everything cook nicely and add extra flavor.
Carefully transfer the pizza into the preheated oven.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let the pizza cool for a couple of minutes before slicing.
Slice the pizza into 8 wedges and serve hot. Enjoy!
