Stretch the pizza dough to fit the pan, pressing it into the corners.

Let the dough rise for 30 minutes in the pan.

Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a border.

Sprinkle mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce.

Add provolone cheese and pepperoni on top of the mozzarella.

Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on the edges for a crispy crust.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
