This method really works and it is absolutely delicious, making Friday night pizza night a whole lot easier!
One-pot meals make the cook's life so much easier. Nobody wants a mess in the kitchen at the end of the day. This pizza recipe doesn't have to be just for Friday night, it is actually a great recipe any night of the week!
🍕Pizza Night
At the end of the week, I always loved to have pizza for the family. It used to mean picking up a pizza on the way home, letting the kids pick a movie, and relax the rest of the evening without needing to clean up a mess.
This recipe turns out to be the best solution to saving money and minimizing mess in the kitchen. I was very skeptical when I first tried this recipe because I thought there was no way this would work. But, it does! This recipe is an easy solution for busy moms all over.
🥘 Ingredients
Yeast: I always buy my yeast in bulk and store it in the freezer. Many will use individual packets and those work also.
Flour: Often times I use bread flour because that is what I keep on hand for the most part. But, for this recipe, I did use all-purpose flour. Either will work.
Sugar: I don't recommend skipping this. Sugar feeds the yeast and helps to soften the dough.
Pizza or Pasta Sauce: There is a difference, but my choice is this Homemade Pasta Sauce. I always have this on hand.
Pizza Toppings: My family loves pepperoni topping, however, the world is your oyster here. Use whatever toppings you want. I just recommend you don't go overboard.
Cake Pan: I use a 9-½ " ceramic deep dish pan. A glass deep-dish pie pan will work as well.

📖 Variations
This Pepperoni Pizza recipe is so versatile and you could make this several different flavors. Below are some ideas on mixing this up!
- Add some flavor to the dough. Stir in a teaspoon of Italian seasoning and a teaspoon of garlic powder with the flour. Then proceed with mixing the dough.
- Top the pizza with any leftovers or veggies you have in the fridge. Leftover cooked potatoes or leftover veggies. I have put glazed carrots on top and it was SUPER delish!
- Any leftover meats in the fridge work as a topping in place of pepperoni. Italian sausage, chicken, burgers. Just break or dice it up and add it to the top.
- Condiments make great toppings as well. Sliced green or black olives, diced pickles, and pickled peppers are a few ideas you might enjoy.
