Ingredients:
- 1 pound (about 450g) pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- Cornmeal or flour for dusting
- 1 ½ cups pizza sauce or marinara sauce
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 60-80 slices of pepperoni (adjust quantity to your preference)
- Sliced red onions
- Sliced bell peppers (green, red, and/or yellow)
- Sliced mushrooms
- Sliced black olives
- Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for added spice)
- Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to the highest temperature possible (around 475-500°F or 245-260°C). If available, place a pizza stone in the oven.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness and shape.
- Sprinkle cornmeal or flour on a pizza peel or baking sheet to prevent sticking. Transfer the rolled-out dough onto the peel or baking sheet.
- Evenly spread the pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
- Distribute a generous layer of pepperoni slices across the pizza, ensuring good coverage.
- Add the sliced red onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, and black olives on top of the pepperoni.
- Optionally, sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes over the pizza for added spice.
- Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven. If using a pizza stone, slide the pizza onto the hot stone. Otherwise, place the baking sheet with the pizza in the oven.
- Bake for about 10-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown, the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the toppings are cooked to your liking.
- Once done, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a minute or two.
- Optionally, garnish with fresh basil leaves for added freshness.
- Slice the pizza and serve hot.
