Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 500F., with racks in upper and lower thirds. Lightly dust work surface, rolling pin, and two large baking sheets with flour. Roll each dough piece into an 8-inch round and transfer to sheets.

2. Divide tomato sauce and mozzarella among dough rounds. Top with bell pepper, mushrooms, sausage, pepperoni, and Parmesan, as desired.

3. Bake until cheese is bubbling and crusts are crisp and golden brown, about 18 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Let pizzas cool 5 minutes and then sprinkle with herbs and more Parmesan, if desired, before serving.
