Pepperoni pizza recipe using old world pepperoni to give it that improved flavor. Additional spicy honey to compliment the pepperoni and to give it a little extra heat.
Take your dough ball and place it on a floured surface. (if you got it from the fridge, give it 1 hour to get to room temperature)
Shape the dough with your hands to stretch out and form your pizza base.
Spread the pizza sauce around the pizza base. Start from the centre and use circular motions out. Make sure to leave a 1-2cm space between the sauce and edge of the pizza base
Sprinkle on the parmesan cheese. This gives it a little extra flavor
Spread the rest of the cheese. Make sure to keep it on the tomato sauce and away from the edge. Dont add too much, as this makes the pizza greasy and heavier.
Place the old world pepperoni evenly around the pizza
If your using a pizza oven then make sure this has reach 750-800 degrees Fahrenheit. For a pizza cooked in your kitchen oven, make sure this has reached max temperature
Bake the pizza until fully cooked (60-90 seconds in pizza oven, 10-15 mins in kitchen oven)
Allow to rest for a couple of minutes, this helps to reduce the soggyness of the pizza.
Drizzle a little spicy honey onto the pizza if your using it, this gives it a little extra kick
