The BEST Way To Make Pizza At Home!

Ingredients

• 1 ball Pizza Dough (store‑bought, room temperature)
• 2 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour (for dusting the work surface)
• 1 tablespoon Olive Oil (light coating on the pan)
• 1 tablespoon Butter (softened and melted for butter dust)
• 2 tablespoons Ranch Seasoning (Dan-O’s Seasoning, sprinkled over crust)
• 0.5 cup Carbones Pasta Sauce (used as pizza sauce (any marinara works))
• 0.25 cup Green Bell Pepper (diced)
• 0.25 cup Red Onion (thinly sliced)
• 0.34 lb Italian Sausage (raw, crumbled)
• 2 cups Organic Mozzarella Cheese (shredded)
• 12 slices Pepperoni (large pieces)

Instructions

1. Prepare Work Surface and Dough

   Lightly sprinkle all‑purpose flour onto a clean countertop, place the pizza dough on it, and gently pat it into a flat disc.

   Time: PT5M

2. Roll Out and Transfer Dough

   Using a rolling pin (or hands), stretch the dough to about 12‑inch diameter, then carefully lay it into the lightly oiled pizza pan.

   Time: PT5M

3. Prepare Sauce and Toppings

   Warm the Carbones pasta sauce slightly, dice the green bell pepper, slice the red onion, crumble the Italian sausage, shred the mozzarella, and set the pepperoni slices aside.

   Time: PT5M

4. Assemble the Pizza

   Spread the warmed sauce evenly over the dough, sprinkle the mozzarella, distribute the bell pepper, onion, sausage, and pepperoni, then drizzle a thin layer of melted butter mixed with olive oil over the crust. Finally, sprinkle the ranch seasoning over the entire pizza.

   Time: PT2M

5. Stovetop Pre‑Bake

   Place the cast‑iron skillet over medium‑high heat, add a tiny splash of oil, and slide the assembled pizza into the skillet. Cook until the bottom bubbles and turns golden, about 3 minutes.

   Time: PT3M

   Temperature: medium‑high heat on stovetop

6. Finish Baking in Oven

   Preheat the oven to 400°F. Transfer the skillet (or move the pizza to a pre‑heated pizza pan) into the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is crisp.

   Time: PT20M

   Temperature: 400°F

7. Rest and Serve

   Remove the pizza from the oven, let it rest for 2 minutes, then slice and serve while hot.

   Time: PT2M
