•Pepperoni slices ( want to know how to make pepperoni then cheque the link here https://kitchenwithreeta.food.blog/2023/07/04/how-to-make-pepperoni-at-home/
•Olive oil
•Dried oregano (optional)
•Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions:

1.Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on your pizza dough package or to 475°F (245°C) if you’re using homemade dough.

2.Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. If using store-bought dough, follow the instructions on the package.

3.Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a pizza stone or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

4.Lightly brush the surface of the dough with olive oil. This will help prevent the sauce from making the crust soggy.

5.Spoon pizza sauce onto the dough and spread it evenly, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.

6.Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Ensure that the sauce is evenly covered.

7.Arrange the pepperoni slices on top of the cheese. You can place them in a single layer or overlap them slightly, depending on your preference.

8.If desired, sprinkle some dried oregano and crushed red pepper flakes over the pizza for extra flavor.

9.Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.

10.Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. This will make it easier to slice.

Slice the pepperoni pizza into wedges or squares and serve hot. You can enjoy it as is or pair it with your favourite dipping sauce.

With these steps, you’ll have a delicious homemade pepperoni pizza ready to be served.
