Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb pizza dough (homemade or store bought)
1/2 c marinara or pizza sauce
1/2 c sliced pepperoni
3/4 c shredded mozzarella
1/4 c shredded provolone
sliced mushrooms
chopped onion (optional)
baby spinach (optional)

1 Tbsp cool water
1/4 tsp dried marjoram or oregano

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line large baking sheet with parchment paper.
