Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

The Dough & Sauce
  • ¼ cup high-quality olive oil, divided
  • 1 roll prepared pizza dough, bakery-fresh or premium
  • 1 cup homemade or master pizza sauce
The Cheese & Toppings
  • 1 pound shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 large red onion, peeled and diced
  • Pepperoni, sausage, bacon, or meatballs (finely chopped)
  • Grated Parmesan cheese
  • Dried oregano
  • Dried chili flakes

Method
 

Preheat & Oil the Pan
  1. Preheat oven to 500°.
Stretch the Dough
  1. Use a giant sheet pan and drizzle it with olive oil. Unroll or roll your crust, stretching it out to fit the pan. Place the crust into the pan to coat with olive oil and then flip it to coat the other side.
  2. This helps to get that crispy crust on the bottom.
The Layered Build
  1. Spread the crust with home made or prepared pizza sauce.
  2. Top this with shredded mozzarella cheese. Top the pizza with every veggie you can find, or, if you intend to share with a meat lover, top the crust with pepperoni, cooked sausage, bacon and meatballs.
Top & Bake the Pizza
  1. Chop all of the pizza toppings into small pieces, sprinkling the meats over the cheese and sauce. This allows you to easily cut the baked pizza into squares.
  2. Top meats with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, thin slices of red onion, dried oregano, dried chili flakes and another drizzle of olive oil.
  3. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until those cheeses melt, and the crust is golden brown.
  4. Let the pizza rest for a couple of minutes and then cut into two-inch squares. Cravings satisfied…for a couple of days anyway!!!!!
