Pepperoni and Sausage Pizza

Ingredients

• 1 lb pizza dough
• ½ cup tomato sauce
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 20 slices pepperoni slices
• ½ cup cooked sausage crumbles
• ¼ cup black olives
• 1 medium green bell pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 475°F with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside. Roll out the 1 lb pizza dough on a floured surface to a 12-inch round.

2. 2

   Transfer dough to a piece of parchment paper. Brush the surface with 1 tbsp olive oil, leaving a 1-inch border for the crust.

3. 3

   Spread 0.5 cup tomato sauce evenly over the dough, stopping at the border. Sprinkle 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

4. 4

   Arrange 20 pepperoni slices and 0.5 cup sausage crumbles over the cheese. Scatter 0.25 cup black olives and 1 sliced green bell pepper on top.

5. 5

   Slide the pizza (with parchment) onto the hot stone or sheet. Bake until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and browned in spots, about 12-15 minutes.

6. 6

   Let the pizza rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This keeps the toppings from sliding off when you cut.
