Equipment

Ingredients

454 grams ground chicken
1 egg
⅓ cup mozzarella (35 grams) grated
¼ cup Parmigiano Reggiano (20 grams) grated
1.5 teaspoons Italian seasonings measure with your heart
½ teaspoon salt I use Redmond Real Salt

Toppings

¼ cup pizza sauce I love Rao's
½ cup mozzarella grated
2 tablespoons Parmigiano cheese
10 slices pepperoni

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425F (218C).
In a bowl, add the ground meat, egg, mozzarella, Parmigiano cheese, Italian seasoning and salt. Mix well with clean hands.
Form the mixture into a ball and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Place another piece of parchment paper and flatten the meat mixture into a 1/4 inch disc. Mine was about 9-10 inches in diameter.
Place it in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, if there's any moisture sitting on top, I like to pat it with paper towel to absorb it.
Add on your pizza toppings of choice and bake for another 10 minutes.
I like to turn the oven on BROIL (top burner only) for the last 1-2 minutes to crisp up the top but keep a very good eye on it.
Enjoy with fresh basil on top or a drizzle of hot pepper oil!
