Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-made or homemade pizza crust
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup pepperoni slices
- 1/2 cup roasted red peppers (to symbolize Red Skull)
- 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles (representing Captain America’s shield)
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
- Olive oil for brushing
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while heating.
- Spread marinara sauce evenly over the pizza crust, creating a clear division down the center.
- Sprinkle mozzarella cheese generously over the entire crust, covering the sauce.
- On one half of the pizza, arrange pepperoni slices to symbolize the Avengers’ unity. On the other half, sprinkle roasted red peppers and blue cheese crumbles to represent Captain America’s shield and the contrasting factions.
- Optional: Use food coloring or food-safe markers to add additional themed elements or logos for a more authentic look.
- Brush the crust edges with olive oil for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until cheese bubbles and crust is golden brown.
- Remove from oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
Notes
- For a more authentic look, consider adding edible blue and red food dye or colored toppings to emphasize the divided theme.
- Use a pizza peel or large spatula to transfer the pizza to and from the oven for easy handling.
- Adjust toppings to include more Marvel characters for a personalized superhero pizza experience.
