Ingredients
Scale
- Pizza crust dough (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 cup of pizza or marinara sauce
- 8 ounces of mozzarella cheese, shredded
- Assorted pizza toppings such as:
- – Pepperoni slices
- – Chopped green peppers
- – Chopped red peppers
- – Any other toppings of your choice
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Pizza Dough Start by preheating your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. On a large floured surface, roll the pizza dough until it is thin. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes from the dough.
- Step 2: Arrange the Dough Shapes Place the cut-out shapes about 1 to 2 inches apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and helps in easy cleanup.
- Step 3: Add the Sauce and Toppings Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce over each shaped dough. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top, then add pepperoni, peppers, and any other toppings of your choice.
- Step 4: Bake Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until the dough is golden and cooked through and the cheese has melted and is bubbly.
