Pepperoni Parmigiano Recipe

Making a Pepperoni Mozzarella

Pizza is a delicious choice for pizza lovers who enjoy the classic combination of spicy pepperoni and creamy mozzarella cheese. Here’s a simple recipe to make one at home.

Ingredients

– 1 ball of pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)
– 1/2 cup tomato sauce (homemade or store-bought)
– 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni
– Fresh basil leaves (optional)
– Extra-virgin olive oil
– Red pepper flakes (optional)
– Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to the highest temperature possible, typically around 475-500°F (245-260°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat as well.

2. Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a pizza peel or parchment-lined baking sheet.

3. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a border around the edges for the crust.

4. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce, covering the entire pizza.

5. Arrange the sliced pepperoni over the cheese, distributing them evenly across the pizza.

6. If desired, tear fresh basil leaves and sprinkle them over the pizza for added flavor.

7. Drizzle a little extra-virgin olive oil over the pizza, and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste.

8. Carefully transfer the assembled pizza to the preheated oven, either directly onto the pizza stone or onto the oven rack.

9. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is bubbly and melted.

10. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.

11. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious homemade Pepperoni Mozzarella pizza!

This pizza is sure to be a hit with its gooey melted cheese, spicy pepperoni, and flavorful tomato sauce. Feel free to customize the toppings or add extra ingredients according to your preferences.
