Homemade Pepperoni Pizza

Ingredients

• 1 lb pizza dough
• ½ cup pizza sauce
• 8 oz mozzarella cheese
• 4 oz pepperoni slices
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• ½ tsp dried oregano (optional)
• ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Lightly grease a pizza pan or baking sheet with olive oil.
2. On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness and shape.
3. Transfer the dough to the prepared pan. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
4. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then arrange pepperoni slices on top.
5. Bake for 12-18 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
6. Remove from oven, let cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve. Optionally sprinkle with oregano and red pepper flakes.
