I meant to post this week-before-last for Pepperoni Pizza Day but didn’t get around to it. But I wanted to share the happiness I felt when I realized I could make a personal-sized pepperoni pizza by halving this recipe for square pizza from Kenji and baking it in an 8×8 metal pan. We don’t have a lot of good pizza in my town, and the good shops that do exist don’t deliver. At the same time, I don’t have a fancy pizza-oven set-up at my house. This pizza, baked in a normal oven, hits the sweet spot of being totally worth making, provided you start a couple hours early to let the dough rise. Added bonus: I made the full batch of dough (b/c half doesn’t really work in the food processor) and froze it for a future pizza night.
