Total time: 35 min
Yield: 1 12-inch pizza (serves 4)
Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients: 1 pre-made pizza dough; 1 cup tomato sauce; 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese; 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni; 1/4 cup sliced black olives; 1/4 cup diced bell peppers; 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms; 1/4 cup chopped onions; 1 teaspoon dried oregano; 1 teaspoon garlic powder; Salt and pepper to taste; Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat up.
On a floured surface, roll out the pre-made pizza dough into a circle, about 12 inches in diameter. If the dough shrinks back, let it rest for a few minutes and try again until you have the desired size.
Transfer the rolled-out dough to a piece of parchment paper to make it easier to transfer to the hot pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce to create a nice base. This will help the toppings stick to the pizza.
Layer the pepperoni, black olives, bell peppers, mushrooms, and onions on top of the cheese. Spread them out evenly to ensure each bite is bursting with flavor.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the top of the pizza, making sure all the toppings are covered. This will help create that bubbly, cheesy goodness when it bakes.
Season your pizza with dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
Carefully slide the prepared pizza (still on the parchment paper) onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
Once the pizza is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and freshness.
