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

On a lightly floured surface, stretch and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Ensure the dough is even and not too thick at the edges.

Step 3

Transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper to help with placing in the oven later.

Step 4

Brush the top of the dough with olive oil to help create a golden crust.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together the tomato sauce, dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Spread the seasoned tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.

Step 7

Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

Step 8

Arrange the pepperoni slices over the cheese, followed by the crumbled cooked sausage.

Step 9

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes over the top of the pizza.

Step 10

Carefully slide the pizza with the parchment paper onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.

Step 11

Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and beginning to brown.

Step 12

Carefully remove the pizza from the oven using a pizza peel or spatula.

Step 13

Let the pizza cool for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh basil leaves.

Step 14

Slice and serve hot.
