Ingredients:

  • 1 lb pizza dough
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 15 slices pepperoni
  • 8 black olives
  • 1 small red bell pepper

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out the dough into a large oval.
  3. Pinch one end of the dough to create a tapered tail and carve a triangular dorsal fin protruding from the top.
  4. Brush the edges of the crust with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder.
  5. Spread the tomato sauce evenly across the dough, leaving a 1/2 inch border for the crust.
  6. Scatter mozzarella and Parmesan across the surface, pressing the cheese slightly into the sauce to lock it in place.
  7. Place halved pepperoni slices along the front edge of the shark to create a row of jagged teeth.
  8. Add two olive slices for eyes, scatter remaining olives for bubbles, and add thin red bell pepper strips for gill accents.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
