Magical Pepperoni Pizza

So this is a super simple recipe, and I'm sure I'm not telling you anything you don't know, but it's truly a simple and delicious (an inexpensive) recipe that is a repeat with us.

I used to have the problem with my crust being too gooey in the center and burnt on the edges, and always had to use a fork to eat my pizza until I figured out a magic trick. (don't worry, no pixie dust needed) Seriously, who wants to eat their pizza with a fork? The best part of pizza is the utensil free eatage!

Second best part- it's ready in 25 minutes flat.

Magical Pepperoni Pizza

Ingredients:

 (warning, we use tons of GV products around here.. if that offends you, I apologize ;)

9x13 pizza stone or cookie sheet

GV pizza dough

1 cup shredded cheeze

40 pepperoni slices

3 tbsp tomato sauce

Garlic/onion powder to taste, italian seasoning/basil to taste

2 tbsp parmesan cheese
1 tbsp EVOO

Instructions:

Prehead oven to 450 degrees and unroll dough onto pizza stone.

Press edges to side and fork prick holes across whole dough.

(WARNING: MAGIC TRICK!) Brush with EVOO and season with italian seasoning.
Pre-bake dough for 5-7 minutes. Remove from oven.

 Spread tomato sauce thinly over the pre-baked dough

Season with garlic and onion powder and basil to taste.

Sprinkle cheese evenly over sauce.

 Lay pepperonis evenly over cheese.

(usually I add bell peppers, onions, mushrooms at this point as well if we're feeling it)

Sprinkle 2 tbsp parmesan cheese over top

Bake @ 450 for 15-17 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

 Serve up and enjoy! (with your hands of course because your crust is crispy and delicious now!)
