All dressed pizza is a beloved classic, especially popular in Québec. This pizza is topped with a variety of delicious ingredients, including pepperoni, bell peppers, and mushrooms, making it a perfect choice for those who love a bit of everything on their pizza. Cooking an all dressed pizza in a pizza oven ensures a crispy crust and perfectly melted cheese. The high heat of a pizza oven is ideal for achieving the traditional texture and flavour that pizza enthusiasts crave.

Instructions

Preheat the Pizza Oven

Preheat your pizza oven to 500°F (260°C) or its highest setting. This ensures the oven reaches a high enough temperature for a crispy crust.

Pro tip: A high temperature is crucial for achieving a perfect pizza crust.

Prepare the Dough

Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a pizza peel dusted with cornmeal to prevent sticking.

Pro tip: Rolling the dough thinly will result in a crispier crust.

Add the Sauce

Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.

Pro tip: Be careful not to overload with sauce to avoid a soggy crust.

Add Cheese and Toppings

Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then evenly distribute the pepperoni, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Sprinkle the dried oregano on top.

Pro tip: Ensure toppings are evenly spread for balanced flavor in each bite.

Bake the Pizza

Using the pizza peel, transfer the pizza to the preheated oven. Bake for 8-10 minutes, rotating halfway through, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Pro tip: Watch closely to prevent burning, as pizza ovens cook quickly.

Rest and Serve

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before slicing.

Pro tip: Resting allows the cheese to set slightly, making slicing easier.

Serving Suggestions

Once your all dressed pizza is baked to perfection, let it sit for a couple of minutes before slicing. This brief resting time allows the cheese to set slightly, making for cleaner slices. Serve your pizza with a fresh green salad and perhaps a glass of your favourite red wine. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Pizza can also be reheated in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
