THE LAST MINUTE PEPPERONI PIZZA


THE LAST MINUTE PEPPERONI PIZZA

Ingredients:

These ingredients make 2 pizzas.

(2) 400g ready made pizza bases (thawed).
Romanos is a good one, but there are many others available on the market as well.
1 large sliced or diced onion
1 green capsicum (green pepper) sliced or diced or red depending on your taste
1 1/2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 1/2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
1 cup of pasta sauce or tomato sauce
1 1/2 cups of sliced hot and spicy pepperoni
2 medium tomatoes sliced

Directions:

Place pizza stone in oven and preheat oven to 200 degrees C. or 390 degrees F.
Divide the pasta or tomato sauce between the two pizzas and spread over the bases evenly.
Place your tomatoes evenly around the pizza base.
Spread the mozzarella cheese evenly over the tomatoes.
Add the onions, capsicums, and mushrooms, and top off with the hot and spicy pepperoni.
You can also add some other of your favorite toppings such as diced pineapple and red capsicums for a nice Hawaiian version.
The pizza stone will hold one pizza at a time.
After the oven has reached its target temperature (about 10 minutes) place the pizza on the stone and switch the oven to "Grill" with the "Varigrill" knob set about 3/4 of theway between OFF and "1". Leave to cook for about 10 minutes then check whether the top of the pizza is bubbling away and browning nicely. You can leave it in for another 5 minutes if you think it could use more cooking. The catch is that the longer you leave it after ten minutes, the more crunchy the base will become.
You can create many versions of this quick ready made pizza using your favorite toppings. They are great for a last minute meal, or for a party. Our version of using the two pizzas serves 2, and we usually have a slice or two left over.
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 -15 minutes per pizza

Enjoy!
