Ingredients

▢ Homemade Pizza Dough or store-bought dough

▢ 1 cup Pizza Sauce (homemade or store bought)

▢ 3 cups mozzarella cheese

▢ ¾ cup pepperoni

Directions

Put a pizza stone in the oven and preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.

Roll out the pizza dough to a 14” circle on a piece of parchment paper (for easy transfer to the pizza stone).

Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough.

Sprinkle 2 cups of mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.

Evenly distribute the pepperoni on top of the cheese.

Add the remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese on top of the pepperoni.

Use a pizza peel to transfer the pizza on the parchment paper onto the baking stone in the oven.

Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 10-14 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Remove the pizza from the oven (using the pizza peel) and transfer it to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes.

Cut with pizza scissors or transfer to a large cutting board and use a pizza cutter, and serve.
