Description
A simple and flavorful sheet pan pizza made with quick homemade dough, smooth pizza sauce, melty mozzarella, and beef pepperoni baked until the crust is golden and crisp.
Ingredients
Quick Pizza Dough
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon instant yeast
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup warm water
Sheet Pan Pizza
1 to 1.2 pounds pizza dough
1 tablespoon olive oil
2/3 cup pizza sauce
2 cups mozzarella cheese using Cabot Mozzarella or Tillamook Whole Milk Mozzarella or Organic Valley Mozzarella
4 oz beef pepperoni
Parmesan optional using Cabot Shredded Parmesan or Tillamook Aged Parmesan
Instructions
Whisk together flour sugar yeast and salt then add olive oil and warm water and mix until dough forms.
Knead using a stand mixer for a few minutes or by hand then let the dough rest covered for 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 450F and oil a quarter sheet pan making sure to coat the corners.
Stretch the dough across the pan letting it rest if it springs back.
Spread pizza sauce over the dough and add mozzarella cheese and beef pepperoni.
Bake for about 11 to 13 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted.
Let the pizza cool slightly then add Parmesan if desired and slice.
Notes
For a thicker crust use a smaller pan and for a thinner crispier crust stretch the dough onto a larger pan.
If using frozen dough thaw it in the refrigerator then bring to room temperature before shaping.
Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven for best texture.
