• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 cup Pizza sauce
• 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 20 slices Pepperoni slices
• 1 tsp Dried oregano

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.

Step 2

Lightly flour your work surface and stretch or roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Use your hands or a rolling pin for an even thickness.

Step 3

Drizzle olive oil over the surface of the dough and gently spread it around with a brush or your fingers.

Step 4

Carefully transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper to make it easier to transfer to and from the oven.

Step 5

Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.

Step 7

Arrange the pepperoni slices on top of the cheese, spacing them evenly.

Step 8

Sprinkle dried oregano over the top, along with crushed red pepper flakes if you like a little heat.

Step 9

Carefully slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.

Step 10

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing.

Step 12

Cut into slices and serve hot. Enjoy your Easy Peppie Pizza!
