Ingredients
- 5-7 oz. (about 20-30 pieces) Applegate Farms pepperoni (or other large, preservative-free pepperoni)*
- pizza sauce
- grated cheese, optional
- For Supreme
- black olives
- bell peppers
- mushrooms
- green onions (preferred over red or yellow simply b/c they don’t need a lot of time to cook)
- For Hawaiian
- deli ham
- fresh pineapple
Directions
-
Get your oven to 400ºF. Lay the slices of pepperoni on a baking sheet and put them in the oven, on the middle rack, to get them crispy–about 8 minutes, flipping them over once. Start prepping your toppings while the peps are in the oven.
-
The pre-bake step of the pepperoni is super important if you want a crispy pepperoni “crust”. Once you top the pepperonis they just don’t crisp up much…
-
Once they come out of the oven, place a spoonful of pizza sauce on each pepperoni slice and top with your ingredients.
-
Place the baking sheet back in the oven and let the toppings get warm and melty, anywhere from 5-10 minutes.
-
HB NOTE: All the toppings should be sliced, chopped, and/or diced super, super small/thin. Since you’re making little petite pizzas and they’re only getting a few minutes of oven time, you want make sure they get enough heat to get them cooked through. You can get an idea of size from the pics.
