Method

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 500°F.

For a crispy crust, choose your method:

• Using a pizza stone? Preheat it in the oven for at least 20 minutes.

• Using a cast-iron skillet? Preheat it on a burner over high heat for 2 minutes before transferring to the oven.

Step 2: Make the Sauce

If using homemade sauce, stir together all sauce ingredients. This recipe makes just enough for one pizza, but you can double it if needed.

Step 3: Roll Out the Dough

Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about a 14-inch diameter circle. If the dough is tough to roll, let it rest for 5 minutes to come to room temperature.

Step 4: Add the Toppings

• Transfer the dough to a lightly dusted pizza peel (if using a pizza stone) or press it into a cast-iron skillet.

• Spread a light layer of sauce over the dough, leaving a 1/4-inch crust around the edges.

• Chop half of the jackfruit pepperoni and sprinkle it over the sauce.

• Top with grated cheese and the remaining slices of jackfruit pepperoni.

• Season with black pepper.

Step 5: Cook the Pizza

• Using a pizza stone? Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated stone. Cook for 6 minutes, then rotate the pizza for even cooking. Bake for another 6 to 8 minutes until the crust is golden brown and slightly charred.

• Using a cast-iron skillet? Press the dough into the skillet and add toppings. Heat the skillet on a burner for 2 minutes, then transfer to the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the crust is golden brown.

Step 6: Slice and Serve

Use a pizza peel to transfer the pizza to a cutting board. Let it rest for a minute before slicing. Sprinkle with fresh oregano if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
