Pepperoni & Chicken Pizza

Hey friends! This is my favourite part of the series, PIZZA TOPPINGS. I have a few pizza favourites but today I will be showing you guys how I love my pepperoni pizza. I love adding chicken and peppers to my pizza. Without much delay, let’s get down to it.

You will need:

a pizza pan or stone

1 large cooking spoon/cup of pizza sauce

½ cup of shredded/grated mozzarella cheese

½ cup of shredded/grated Parmesan NOTE: Parmesan is optional; if you choose to use only mozzarella, then substitute this measurement with mozzarella.

10 pepperoni slices (depending on how much you like on it and size of pepperoni).

Handful of diced cooked chicken

½ onion (thin sliced)

Handful of thin sliced mixed peppers (green, red, yellow)

5-8 Jalapeño slices/rings (optional)

Direction

  1. Preheat your Oven to 250ºC or 470ºF for about 30 minutes before placing the pizza into the oven. Oven needs to be very hot.

  2. Rub some flour on the pizza pan so the stretched dough does not stick and prepare your pizza topping.

  3. Get your risen dough and stretch using your hands or using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a floured surface into your desired shape. Stretch/Roll it out until the dough is flat not thick or depending on how thin or thick you want your crust! The dough will rise while in the oven, so you want to take that into consideration.

  4. Place a Scoop of the pizza sauce and spread around the dough.

  5. Add the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese onto the dough and add the rest of the toppings

  6. Bake in the oven for about 10– 12 minutes or till crust is brown and cheese is bubbling.

  7. Drizzle olive oil around the pizza crust edges for a golden look. Let pizza rest for a minute and slice away!

Enjoy and don’t forget to share with your friends and family or rather impress them by making this yummy pizza! Also let us know how it turns out.

Till next time,
