pepperoni

🥗Healthier: turkey pepperoni

💰Cheaper: salami

Turkey pepperoni is lower in fat and calories.

Grease a 13-inch by 18-inch sheet pan liberally with olive oil.

Sprinkle some finely ground semolina on the greased pan for traction.

Roll out the store-bought pizza dough to fit the pan.

If the dough springs back, cover it with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Spread a generous layer of pizza sauce over the dough, going all the way to the edges.

Add shredded mozzarella cheese generously on top of the sauce.

Add toppings such as cooked sausage, sliced bell peppers, and sliced black olives.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden and bubbling.
