Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go
  1. Preheat the oven

    Turn the oven on to 240 °C (gas mark 8). Let it heat for 10 min so it's nice and hot.

    Tip · If your oven has cool spots, put the baking sheet on the middle rack for even baking.
  2. Roll out the dough

    Take the pizza doughs out of their package. Roll each one out on a floured surface with the rolling pin into a thin, even round.

  3. Brush with oil

    With the pastry brush, spread 0.5 tbsp of olive oil over each crust, leaving a 1 cm border without oil.

  4. Add the tomato sauce

    Spread 35 g of tomato sauce over each crust, leaving the edges bare. Spread it with the back of a spoon to cover evenly.

  5. Scatter the mozzarella

    Drain the mozzarella and cut it into small pieces. Scatter them over the pizzas, covering the sauce well. Keep half of the mozzarella for the end.

  6. Add the pepperoni

    Cut the 25 g of pepperoni into thin rounds. Arrange them evenly over the pizzas, pressing them lightly into the cheese.

  7. Sprinkle the oregano

    Sprinkle each pizza with 0.5 tsp of dried oregano. Add a pinch of salt over the pepperoni if you like.

  8. Bake the pizzas

    Slide the pizzas onto the hot baking sheet. Bake them in the oven preheated to 240 °C for 10 to 12 min, until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted.

    Tip · Keep a close eye on it: the crust should be crisp but not burned, especially at the edges.
  9. Add the rest of the cheese

    Take the pizzas out of the oven. Add the rest of the mozzarella, cut into pieces, over the still-hot pizzas. Put them back in the oven for 1 min to melt the cheese.

And there you go, it's readyCheck off every step to celebrate.
