• For the Pepperoni Pizza
• Preheat oven and pizza stone to 450F. Roll out pizza dough into a circle. Remove the pizza stone from the oven then sprinkle with cornmeal or flour. Add the rolled out dough on top.
• Brush the edges of the dough with olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. Add sauce and garlic to the dough and spread it evenly across. Add the torn mozzarella followed by the pepperonis evenly across the top.
• Finish with a drizzle of olive oil before baking.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese has melted, the pepperoni and crust are crispy, and the dough is cooked through.
• Remove from the heat and let sit.

For the Jalapeno Ranch Dressing

• Meanwhile, make the jalapeno ranch dressing. Add ranch, pickled jalapenos, and cilantro to a wide mouth jar and use an immersion blender to blend it all together.
• Once the pizza has sat for a few minutes, add the torn basil leaves, some parmesan or asiago cheese and finish with a drizzle of jalapeno ranch before serving.
