Ingredients
- 1 package of refrigerated pizza dough
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup sliced pepperoni
- 1/4 cup pizza sauce (for dipping)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Equipment Needed
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper (optional, but helps with cleanup)
- Rolling pin (if you want to roll out your dough)
- Pizza cutter or knife
- Small bowl (for mixing seasoning)
Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). I love starting with this because the anticipation of the warm, baking smell fills my kitchen. Next, take your package of refrigerated pizza dough and roll it out on a lightly floured surface or use your rolling pin if you want it to be nice and thin. Lay it out until it’s about 1/4 inch thick. This is where the fun begins! Spread out your shredded mozzarella evenly over the dough, leaving a little border around the edges. Then, sprinkle the sliced pepperoni on top. Oh, the aroma of the pepperoni! It’s truly mouthwatering. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
