How to Make Perfect Wood-Fired Pepperoni Pizza | Making Pizza At Home

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: cheddar cheese

Part-skim mozzarella has fewer calories while still melting well.

pizza dough

🥗Healthier: whole wheat dough

💰Cheaper: store-bought dough

Whole wheat dough adds fiber and nutrients.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free alternative with a cheesy flavor.

ham

🥗Healthier: turkey ham

💰Cheaper: cooked chicken

Turkey ham is lower in fat than pork ham.

Add bench flour to the dough ball to prevent sticking to hands.

Stretch the dough from the middle outwards using hands shaped like a triangle to create a natural curve.

Flip the dough to the other side and repeat the stretching process.

Remove excess flour by giving the dough a few stretches.

Grate some Grana Padano cheese over the stretched dough.

Add fresh basil leaves on top of the cheese.

Distribute pepperoni slices evenly over the pizza.

Prepare the pizza for cooking in a wood-fired oven.
