Instructions:
1 ) Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures a perfectly cooked crust and gooey, melted cheese.
2 ) Prepare the Crust: Place the pre-made pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can even try grilling the crust for an extra layer of flavor.
3 ) Spread the Sauce: Take the pizza sauce and spread it evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges. This will create a delightful balance of flavors with each bite.
4 ) Layer on the Pepperoni: Arrange the sliced pepperoni evenly over the sauce, ensuring each slice is spread out across the pizza. This classic topping adds a savory kick that everyone will love.
5 ) Cheese, Please: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the pepperoni. The generous layer of cheese will melt to perfection, creating that irresistible cheesy pull.
6 ) Optional Toppings: Get creative! If you love mushrooms, onions, or bell peppers, now’s the time to add them. Distribute your chosen toppings evenly over the cheese for a burst of color and extra flavor.
7 ) Bake to Perfection: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown, and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on it to ensure your pizza is cooked to your liking.
8 ) Slice and Serve: Once the pizza emerges from the oven, let it cool for a minute or two before slicing. This allows the cheese to set slightly, making for cleaner slices. Serve hot and savor the deliciousness!
