Servings: 1 12-inch pizza
Cost: $6.00
Equipment
Ingredients
- 270 gram sourdough pizza ball, at room temperature
- ⅓ cup pizza sauce
- ⅓ cup shredded low moisture mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup pepperoni, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon fresh oregano
- 1 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Place a pizza stone on the center rack of your oven. Set your oven to 550 degrees Fahrenheit and allow the stone to warm up with the oven. Ideally let the stone sit at 550 degrees for 20 minutes before baking the first pizza.
- Form Pizza: Form your doughball into a pizza round about 12-inches wide. Do not roll out with a rolling pin, use your hands. Once the dough ball is formed into a round layer on the sauce, mozzarella cheese, and then top it with the pepperoni.
- Bake: Dust a pizza peel with flour and gently put the pizza on the peel. Slide it from the peel onto your pizza stone and bake the pizza for 6 minutes. Then rotate the pizza 180 degrees and bake the pizza an additional 4 – 6 minutes or until your pizza crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Finish: Remove the pizza and top with the fresh oregano and chili pepper flakes. Cut into wedges and serve. Repeat if making multiple pizzas.
Notes
Pizza Oven Modification: If using your pizza oven we recommend targeting the temperature of the oven at 900 degrees Fahrenheit or the pizza stone at 700 degrees Fahrenheit.
Form the pizza and place it in the oven and on the stone. Using a pizza-turning peel, rotate the pizza round in small turns every 15-20 seconds to evenly cook the edges of the pizza. Cook for up to 90 seconds or until the edges are browned, the cheese is melted, and the base of the crust is cooked.
