Domino’S Pizza

Prep Time20 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Total Time35 minutes

Ingredients

  • Pizza dough store-bought or homemade – enough for one 12-inch round
  • Olive oil – a slick shiny drizzle
  • Tomato sauce or marinara – about 1/2 cup
  • Shredded mozzarella cheese – 1 to 1 1/2 cups
  • Pepperoni or preferred toppings – as much as your heart desires
  • Optional toppings: sliced bell peppers red onions, black olives, crushed garlic
  • Dried oregano or Italian seasoning – a pinch for that “restaurant vibe”
  • Kosher salt and black pepper – to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If your oven runs hot, give it a heads-up five minutes early. Hot ovens are drama-free ovens.
  • Roll or stretch the dough into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface. If it tears, channel your inner pizza whisperer and patch it with a pinch of dough. No one will judge the rustic edge.
  • Brush the crust with a little olive oil. This helps it crisp and keeps the edges from turning into cardboard. A light gloss is all you need.
  • Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about a half-inch border for the crust. Don’t flood it—you’re making a pizza, not soup.
  • Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then pile on toppings. If you’re feeling fancy, sprinkle a pinch of oregano or Italian seasoning on top for that “pizzeria secret” vibe.
  • Bake on a hot sheet or preheated pizza stone for 10–12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling. Don’t wander away; burnt cheese is a vibe you don’t want.
  • Let it rest for a couple minutes, slice, and serve. Optional: sprinkle a tiny pinch of salt or red pepper flakes if you like a kick.
