Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

15 pepperoni slices
1/4 cup sliced jarred red peppers, drained
1 plum tomato, sliced into rounds
6 slices (6 ounces) sliced mozzarella
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar
6 slices provolone
1 cup marinara sauce
1 pound store-bought pizza dough
1/2 red bell pepper, sliced into thin rings
1/2 yellow pepper, sliced into thin rings
Fresh basil, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Heat a 12-inch, well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over a low heat. Lay the pepperoni slices on the bottom of the skillet. Top with the roasted peppers and tomato slices. Arrange the mozzarella over the veggies and pepperoni, then sprinkle with the Cheddar and lay on the provolone. Spoon the marinara sauce over the cheese and spread it around.
