A COOL Way To Do Pizza

I saw this post on TASTY‘s insta feed and had to try it out! It’s actually pretty easy and my girls loved helping out. I would recommend buying pre-made pizza dough. Try calling your favorite local pizza place and see if they sell their pizza dough. To see TASTY’s version of how this recipe is made, click HERE.

Pepperoni Pizza Ring Recipe

Pepperoni Pizza Ring   Save Print Ingredients

• 3-4 servings of Pizza Dough – click HERE for my recipe
• 2 tablespoons semolina flour, or cornmeal
• 8 slices pepperoni, deli style
• 8 slices provolone cheese, deli style
• 3 cups tomato sauce, divided
• 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350˚F
2. Sprinkle the semolina flour or cornmeal on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Place dough on the baking sheet/stone.
3. Place 4 slices of pepperoni on the dough in the center. Place 4 slices of the provolone over the pepperoni. Spread half of the tomato sauce around the edge of the dough. Sprinkle 1½ cups of mozzarella over the sauce around the edge of the circle.
4. Place the second circle of dough over the first and tuck the edges underneath the first layer of dough. Repeat with the pepperoni, provolone, tomato sauce, and mozzarella. Place the third layer of dough over the second. Tuck the edges underneath.
5. With a knife make one vertical cut in the center of the pizza, making sure you cut through all of the layers. Make another horizontal cut, then 2 diagonal cuts so you have 8 triangles to fold over. Begin folding back each layer, creating an opening in the center. Repeat 7 more times.
6. Brush the ring with olive oil and bake for 40 minutes. Cover with foil and continue to bake for 20 minutes.
7. Place a bowl filled with the rest of the tomato sauce in the center of the ring.
