The Simple Ingredients and Substitutions

Friend, you don’t need anything fancy here, just a few basics you probably already own:

• Uncooked pizza dough. I tend to use refrigerated store-bought pizza dough for speed and ease. But do feel free to make your own if you are up for that, just factor in the extra time.
• Pizza sauce. For simplicity I use some jarred marinara, pizza sauce, marinara, or even tomato passata mixed with some Italian seasoning or oregano.
• Mozzarella cheese. If possible, grating the cheese yourself from a block cheese is always better! Pre-grated cheese contains preservatives that prevent clumping, but that also keeps it from melting as smoothly. I sometimes add in a little extra sharp cheddar or Parmesan for a cheesy boost.
• Pepperoni. Whilst I like the classic pepperoni, I also use turkey pepperoni, cooked sausage, ham, bacon or shredded chicken. I have added quick cook veggies like bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, or onions.
• Seasoning. Italian seasoning or oregano are my go-to’s for extra flavor.
• Olive oil. I brush this on to help crisp up the crust edges.

How To Make Sheet Pan Pizza

If you have 10 minutes, you can easily prep this! Do check out the recipe card for the full list of recipe instructions.

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly oil or line a large sheet pan with parchment.
2. Roll or stretch the dough to fit the pan, pressing into the edges.
3. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough leaving the edges bare.
4. Add the mozzarella, then pepperoni and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning.
5. Brush the edges with olive oil, and bake in the heated over for 12–15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden.
6. Cool for 2–3 minutes before slicing and serving.

Bintu’s Tips

1. Allow your pizza dough to come to room temperature before rolling, otherwise it will be hard to stretch and may tear.
2. Avoid overloading the toppings, or you’ll tend up with a soggy crust.
3. Using a metal sheet pans give the crispiest pizza. Trust me on this.
4. Sprinkle cheese all over the crust for a cheesy crust. Yum.
5. Turn the pizza halfway through baking so it cooks evenly on all sides.
6. If making homemade dough, make extra and freeze some for use later.
7. Ph and this goes great with my Wedge Salad.

Serving Suggestion

This is awesome as is and slice or three is nice and filling. However, you can also serve it alongside a green salad, a tomato salad, a crunchy slaw as well a grilled watermelon salad.
