Ingredients

• 1 pound Pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 8 slices Provolone cheese, sliced
• 4 ounces Salami, thinly sliced
• 4 ounces Ham, thinly sliced
• 3 ounces Pepperoni, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup Banana peppers, sliced
• 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
• 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 Roma tomato, thinly sliced
• 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat as well.

Step 2

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined pizza peel or baking sheet.

Step 3

Brush the surface of the dough with olive oil, covering it completely to create a golden crust when baked.

Step 4

Lay the provolone cheese slices across the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edge.

Step 5

Arrange the salami, ham, and pepperoni evenly over the provolone cheese.

Step 6

Sprinkle the banana peppers and red onion over the top of the meats for a tangy bite and crunch.

Step 7

Evenly distribute the shredded mozzarella cheese over the entire surface.

Step 8

Sprinkle the Italian seasoning across the top, adding the sliced Roma tomatoes for freshness.

Step 9

Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated pizza stone or bake directly on the baking sheet for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling and melted.

Step 10

Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for 3-5 minutes before slicing.

Step 11

Garnish with fresh basil leaves and red pepper flakes, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
