Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 store-bought or homemade (12-inch) pizza dough
- 0.5 cup tomato sauce
- 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 24 slices vegetarian pepperoni
- 0.75 cup vegetarian sausage, crumbled
- 0.5 medium green bell pepper, sliced
- 0.25 medium red onion, sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 tsp dried oregano
- 0.25 tsp garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 5 optional, for garnish fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit (245 degrees Celsius). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat as well.
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer the dough to a parchment paper setup on a pizza peel or baking sheet for easy maneuvering.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border for the crust.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Top the cheese with vegetarian pepperoni slices and crumbled vegetarian sausage.
Add sliced green bell pepper and red onion evenly over the pizza.
Drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil over the toppings to enhance flavor and help with the cooking process.
Sprinkle dried oregano, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes evenly on top.
Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (or onto the pizza stone) and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
Slice the pizza into 8 wedges using a pizza cutter and serve warm.
