Ingredients
- 1 lb pizza dough
- 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup pizza sauce or olive oil
- ½ cup assorted toppings (pepperoni, sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, onions)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning or fresh basil
Instructions
- Prep the dough: If you’re using store-bought pizza dough, let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
- Create the base: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and prepare a baking sheet.
- Add the goodies: Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce or drizzle olive oil over the dough.
- Sprinkle the cheese: Distribute mozzarella cheese generously on top.
- Layer the toppings: Add your selection of toppings evenly across the cheese.
- Season with garlic and herbs for extra flavor.
- Cut the dough into strips, about 1-2 inches wide, and fold edges over slightly.
- Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool briefly before serving with a side of marinara or ranch dip.
Notes
For a crispy bottom, consider using a preheated baking sheet or cast-iron skillet. Avoid overcrowding toppings to prevent sogginess.
