Ingredients

  • 1 cup finely grated parmesan

  • 500g store-bought fresh pizza dough balls, at room temperature

  • ¼ cup tomato passata

  • 1 cup grated mozzarella

  • 200g sliced pepperoni

  • 4 piquillo peppers, halved

  • 2 tbsp chopped oregano, to serve

Method

  2. Step 2

    Press the dough into the skillet, spread the top with passata, and sprinkle with mozzarella. Scatter with pepperoni and peppers.

  3. Step 3

    Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the dough has puffed up and cooked through and the cheese is melted and golden. Top with oregano and cut into wedges to serve.
