Step-by-Step Instructions for Easy Homemade White Banana Pepper Pizza
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the pizza.
  2. Stretch out your pizza dough to your desired shape and thickness. Drizzle about a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil over the crust and rub it in, avoiding the edges.
  3. Pat the pickled banana peppers dry using a towel to remove excess moisture, preventing a soggy pizza.
  4. Evenly distribute the dried banana peppers over the pizza dough. If using salami, add it on top. Sprinkle Italian seasoning and garlic powder for flavor.
  5. Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the seasoned dough, covering all toppings for a gooey layer.
  6. Bake your prepared pizza in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden, and the crust is crispy.
  7. Carefully remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve warm.
