One of our favorite homemade pizza recipes is loaded with tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, capers and pepperoncini and topped with fresh basil.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pre-made pizza dough from the grocery store
  • olive oil
  • ~1/2 cup of tomato or pizza sauce
  • 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, grated
  • 2 Tbsp drained capers
  • 3 medium pepperoncini's, sliced - leave out if you are sensitive to spicy foods
  • 1/4 cup basil, chiffonade - as garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450F.
  • Roll out the pizza on lightly floured surface.  Transfer to pizza stone or parchment lined baking sheet.  Brush the pizza dough lightly with olive oil.  Bake around 4-5 minutes or until beginning to crisp but not brown.
  • Remove from oven and add a light layer of tomato sauce, mozzarella, capers, and pepperoncini.
  • Return to oven and cook an additional 6-8 minutes or until cooked through and cheese is melted.
  • Put on the broiler for 1-2 minutes if the cheese has not browned yet.  Take it out, let it cool at least 5 minutes (I know it's hard to wait for fresh pizza but the roof of your mouth is important!) Happy pizza eating!  Beckie
