Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 8 ounces beef pepperoni slices
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for brushing

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add warm water and olive oil, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead for 3-4 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  2. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Roll out dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer to a pizza stone or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Brush the dough with olive oil, then spread pizza sauce evenly. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, arrange beef pepperoni slices, and top with Parmesan cheese, oregano, and garlic powder.
  4. Bake for 12-15 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly. For extra crispiness, you can finish under the broiler for 1-2 minutes.

Notes

Choose whole-milk mozzarella for better melting and high-quality beef pepperoni that curls beautifully when baked. For extra crispy crust, bake the dough alone for 5 minutes before adding toppings.
