01 -
2 tablespoons melted butter
02 -
2 ounces thin-sliced pepperoni (about 1/3 cup)
03 -
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
04 -
4 slices provolone cheese
05 -
1 jar pizza sauce, divided
06 -
1/2 pound lean ground beef
07 -
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
08 -
1 tube (13.8 ounces) refrigerated pizza dough
09 -
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
10 -
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
11 -
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, divided
# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Heat up what's left of the pizza sauce so folks can dunk their slices when serving.
02 -
Crank your oven up to 400°F (205°C) to get it ready.
03 -
Toss the ground beef, garlic powder, dried oregano, and salt in a big skillet. Cook and stir it around over medium heat till the meat turns brown. Pour off any fat left over.
04 -
Let the beef chill for a minute, then stir in about 1/3 cup of pizza sauce.
05 -
Spread out your pizza dough right on a baking sheet with sides that aren't too tall.
06 -
First, spoon 1/2 cup of the pizza sauce down the middle. Throw on those provolone slices, then pepperoni, your beef blend, and finish with the mozzarella.
07 -
With a sharp knife, make 1-inch wide strips on both sides, cutting in toward the center. Cross those dough strips back and forth over the middle to tuck everything inside.
08 -
Swipe melted butter across the top and dust with Parmesan plus the leftover 1/8 teaspoon dried oregano.
09 -
Pop the pan in the oven and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes, or till the outside's golden and cooked through.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
It's awesome straight out of the oven—plenty of warm sauce on the side for dipping makes it extra good.
