• 1 ball Pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Pizza sauce
• 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 20 pieces Pepperoni slices
• 1 cup Cooked Italian sausage
• 1 medium Green bell pepper, sliced
• 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup Black olives, sliced
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat up.

Step 2

Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or desired shape.

Step 3

Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough to a piece of parchment paper for easier handling.

Step 4

Brush the surface of the dough with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to help create a crispy crust.

Step 5

Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.

Step 6

Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce as the base layer.

Step 7

Layer the pepperoni slices and cooked Italian sausage evenly across the pizza.

Step 8

Add the sliced green bell pepper, red onion, and black olives as toppings for a burst of color and texture.

Step 9

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese on top of the toppings.

Step 10

Dust the pizza with dried oregano and, if desired, crushed red pepper flakes for extra flavor.

Step 11

Carefully remove the heated pizza stone or baking sheet from the oven and transfer the parchment paper with the pizza onto it.

Step 12

Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.

Step 13

Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for 2–3 minutes before slicing.

Step 14

Cut into 8 slices, serve warm, and enjoy Daddy's Favorite Pizza with your family!
