Healthy Easy Homemade Pepperoni Pizza

When I invite friends over for pizza, they always show up. That's because it's so good! And it's low-saturated-fat, too, of course.

This recipe is simple. You'll need a double Chef Boy-Ar-Dee pizza mix, and follow its instructions for mixing the dough. Here's where Ron's Recipes customizes it for low-fat deliciousness:

Additional ingredients:

  • 8 oz. grated mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup Italian blend grated hard cheese
  • 1 package Turkey pepperoni
  • 2 tsp. oregano, or blended Italian seasoning
  • Olive oil
  • Fresh squeezed garlic, about three cloves

When the recipe on the box says to use vegetable oil, substitute olive oil instead. Spread the dough out on an oiled pizza pan. The box says you're making two pizzas, fuggedaboutit. You're making one BIG, THICK-CRUSTED pizza!

Pour the sauce on, then place the turkey pepperoni all over the sauce. I start in the middle and spiral outwards. Next, sprinkle the crushed garlic all over. Now add the mozzarella. Next, the blended grated hard cheese, about a half-cup. Now, sprinkle the oregano or Italian blend all over, about a couple of teaspoons' worth. Feel free to add the Parmesan cheese that came in the mix as well.

I bake mine at the recommended temperature for exactly 22 minutes. That makes the crust just a healthy shade of brown.

This big pizza will serve 4-5, and the leftovers are DELICIOUS when warmed up!
