Prepare Pizza Dough

Begin by preparing the pizza dough. You can either make it from scratch by mixing flour, yeast, water, and a pinch of salt, then letting it proof until it doubles in size, or use pre-made dough. Roll out the dough to your desired thickness on a floured surface.

Add Toppings

Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce over the rolled-out dough. Then sprinkle grated mozzarella cheese evenly across the surface. Add pepperoni or sausage slices, distributing them evenly. If desired, you can also add thinly sliced onions or other vegetables for added flavor and nutrition.

Bake the Pizza

Preheat your oven to its highest temperature, typically around 475°F (245°C). Transfer the prepared pizza to a pizza stone or a large baking sheet. Bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned. Let cool slightly before cutting into slices.

⭐️ Nutrition facts:

A typical meat-topped pizza slice strikes a balance between indulgence and nutrition, offering a solid dose of protein from the cheese and meat, energizing carbohydrates from the dough, and healthy fats. It's an enjoyable way to satisfy hunger and provides a quick energy boost.
