Pepperoni Pizza Recipe Using Silpat Pizza Mats
This easy pepperoni pizza recipe is made even better using Silpat’s 12" or 16" Pizza Mats.
Ingredients:
- 1 pre-made pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- ½ cup pizza sauce
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 20-25 pepperoni slices
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- Fresh basil leaves (optional)
Instructions:
-
Preheat the oven to 428°F. Place your Silpat pizza mat on a perforated baking tray to ensure maximum airflow and heat distribution.
-
Roll out the pizza dough to fit your Silpat pizza mat size—either 12" or 16". Place the dough directly on the mat.
-
Brush the dough with a light coating of olive oil to enhance crispness.
-
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about ½ inch around the edges for the crust.
-
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce. Add the pepperoni slices, distributing them evenly across the pizza.
-
Season the pizza with dried oregano and garlic powder for extra flavor.
-
Bake the pizza in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
-
Remove the pizza from the oven. Carefully slide it off the Silpat mat onto a cutting board. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
-
Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, and enjoy!
