Ingredients:
1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
1 cup pizza sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup pepperoni slices or mini pepperonis
1/4 cup sliced black or green olives (optional)
1/4 cup diced red and green bell peppers (for decoration)
Fresh basil or parsley leaves (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper. - Shape the Dough:
Roll out the pizza dough into a large circle. Use a small bowl or cutter to cut out a hole in the center, creating a wreath shape. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet. - Decorate the Base:
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top. - Add the Toppings:
Arrange the pepperoni slices, olives, and diced bell peppers in a decorative pattern to resemble ornaments on a wreath. - Bake:
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted. - Garnish:
Once out of the oven, add fresh basil or parsley leaves around the edges to enhance the wreath-like appearance. - Serve:
Slice and serve warm. Enjoy the festive vibes with every bite!
Tips:
Use cookie cutters to cut fun shapes (like stars) from the pepperoni for extra holiday flair.
Add some grated Parmesan or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
Pair with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.
This Wreath Pizza is as fun to make as it is to eat—perfect for holiday parties or family dinners!
