💡 Chef tips
- For the best crust, ensure your dough is at room temperature before stretching so it doesn't snap back.
- If you prefer a crispier crust, bake the dough for 5 minutes before adding the sauce and toppings.
- Store leftover slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in a toaster oven to maintain texture.
✅ How it should turn out
The pizza should have a perfectly golden, blistered crust, melted bubbly cheese, and savory, slightly crispy beef pepperoni that smells aromatic and inviting.
