Certainly! Here is a traditional recipe for a mouthwatering pepperoni pizza:
Ingredients:
1 pizza crust, either homemade or purchased
a half-cup of pizza sauce
Shredded mozzarella cheese in two cups
1 cup of pepperoni slices
Sliced black olives, 1/4 cup (optional)
Sliced green bell peppers, 1/4 cup (optional)
Sliced onions, 1/4 cup (optional)
Oregano, dry, 1/8 teaspoon
A quarter-teaspoon dried basil
(Optional) Red pepper flakes for extra heat
(To brush with) olive oil
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) or the temperature specified on the pizza dough packaging.
On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to the appropriate thickness. Follow the directions on the package if you're using store-bought dough.
Roll out the dough and place it on a pizza stone or baking sheet that has been lightly oiled.
Apply olive oil to the dough's surface to provide a barrier that will stop the crust from getting soggy.
Pizza sauce should be properly distributed over the dough, leaving a thin border at the edges for the crust.
Make sure to cover the whole surface of the sauce with the shredded mozzarella cheese.
Place the pepperoni slices over the cheese. Add green bell peppers, onions, green olives, or any other toppings you choose, if you like.
For added flavor, garnish the toppings with dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Pizza should be baked for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbling, in a preheated oven.
After baking, take the pizza out of the oven and allow it to cool. It will be simpler to serve and slice as a result.
Pizza with pepperoni should be cut into squares or wedges and served hot. If preferred, you can also add more dried herbs or grated Parmesan cheese as a garnish.
Enjoy your homemade pizza with pepperoni!
