Olive Oil Dough: I created this recipe with my friends at Carapelli using their 100% Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil that allows you to explore the origin of your olive oil. I love Carapelli as they truly care about sustainability, it’s a big reason why I always purchase their olive oil beyond taste and the fact that I’m obsessed with their bottles!
Ingredients & Health Benefits
- All Purpose Flour: I use organic all purpose flour for ease in this homemade pizza. No fancy flour needed!
- EVOO: I use 100% Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil that allows you to explore the origin of your olive oil. This high quality olive oil gives this organic pizza amazing flavor. Plus, EVOO is a healthy fat that's anti inflammatory and is loaded with antioxidants.
- Salt: Use fine sea salt.
- Cornmeal: I use a little organic cornmeal for the bottom of the pizza dough to ensure it doesn't stick. This also provides a really nice texture that I love.
- Marinara Sauce: You can use your favorite organic marinara sauce. I love using a tomato basil sauce, personally.
- Mozzarella: This is classic pizza cheese and it also provides protein and calcium to this dish. I prefer to buy organic mozzarella in a block and grate it myself. Check out my post 5 Reasons to Grate Your Own Cheese for more info on why.
- Pepperoni: I use Organic Valley Pepperoni which is my favorite. This
- Basil: I top this homemade pizza with fresh organic basil for loads of flavor. Basil is also anti inflammatory, can help with digestion, and is rich in antioxidants.
Tools Needed

- Mixing Bowl: You'll need a mixing bowl to mix up the pizza dough.
- Rolling Pin: You'll need a rolling pin to roll it out.
- Baking Sheet: I bake this homemade pizza on a half sheet pan. But, if you have a pizza stone, you could also use that too.

Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
To make the dough: In a medium bowl, add the flour, sea salt, olive oil, and water. Mix together with your hands until a shaggy dough forms. Allow the dough to rest for 5 to 10 minutes, this helps the gluten relax, making it easier to work with.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle with cornmeal.
Step 3
Lightly flour a work surface. Turn the dough onto the work surface and lightly flour. Roll out with a rolling pin long and thin, about 15-inches long.
Drizzle the dough with olive oil and use the back of a spoon to spread it evenly. Using a fork, poke the dough with holes everywhere.
Step 4
Bake the dough alone for 13 to 15 minutes, until it looks dry. Remove from the oven.
Step 5
Add the marinara sauce and spread evenly. Add the mozzarella and pepperonis.
Step 6
Return to the oven and bake for another 13 to 15 minutes, until the cheese is lightly browned. Top the pizza with fresh basil and cut into strips.
