Ingredients
Scale
- Pizza dough (enough to make one extra large pizza)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- one package of pepperoni slice (7 ounces)
- 3-4 small size Roma tomato, sliced
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 5-6 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, cubed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450F.
- In a non-stick metal cake pan (13 x 9 inches) add 3 tablespoons of olive oil and coat the pan. Make sure to coat the bottom and all sides of the pan.
- Stretch the prepared pizza dough to cover the bottom of the pan. Use your finger tips and poke it generously as you are making focaccia bread.
- Spread about heaping cup of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the dough.
- Place pepperoni and tomato slices.
- Sprinkle with dried basil.
- Top with rest of the shredded mozzarella cheese and Monterey Jack cheese cubes.
- Bake for 17 to 20 minutes until all the cheese is melted and forms a crust on the edge of the pan.
- Take it out of the pan and let it cool slightly. Take the pizza out of the pan (you might have to use a wooden spoon to loosen up/scrape up the melted cheese). Slice the pizza into squares and serve warm.
