# Étapes de réalisation:
01 -
Turn on your oven to 425°F. Spray your 9x13-inch dish lightly so cleanup's a breeze later.
02 -
Over medium-high heat, cook your sausage and ground beef in a large pan. Once browned, drain off any grease so the dish isn't too oily.
03 -
Add pepperoni, 3 teaspoons of seasoning, flour, and tomato sauce to the pan with your cooked meat. Let it simmer gently into a hearty sauce.
04 -
Spread the sauce into your greased dish, then cover it evenly with 1½ cups of mozzarella. Lay the pizza dough carefully over the cheesy layer.
05 -
Coat the dough lightly with olive oil, then add a sprinkle of the last teaspoon of seasoning, remaining mozzarella, and Parmesan for flavor and crunch.
06 -
Bake everything for 20-25 minutes. When it’s done, the top should be golden, and the cheese bubbling.
