Pepperoni Pizza

You know how Nick doesn't like carbs?  Mondays are his busy days, recording the GSG podcast, planning for the week, etc., so I usually end up packing him a huge snack (light dinner) with his breakfast sandwich to-go and indulge in delicious pizza like this one.  It's an easy way to make your tummy happy.

INGREDIENTS

1 ball frozen Tiseo's dough, thawed
1 jar pizza sauce
1 8 oz. bag shredded mozzarella
1 ball fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
Fresh basil
¼ lb. pepperoni
Garlic powder
Butter

 

DIRECTIONS

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Knead dough out in a circle, using your fingers to create a bit of a crust; thinner in the middle and a little more dough around the edge.
  • Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the thinner part (not the crust) evenly, then cover with half of the pepperoni.
  • Spread the jar of pizza sauce evenly over the pepperoni.
  • Place the rest of the pepperoni on top, then top with the fresh mozzarella and basil leaves.
  • Brush the butter on the outer crust, then sprinkle with garlic powder.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, until the fresh mozzarella just starts to bubble.
