Ingredients

  • 1 lb pizza dough
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 3/4 cup marinara sauce
  • 12 slices pepperoni
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Line the crock with an overly large sheet of parchment paper, pushing it flat and out into the edges of the bottom of the bowl and bending the top sides to hang over the edges.
  • Add the dough to the center of the crock spreading it out evenly and up the edges of the bowl about an inch.

  • Add the sauce to the center of the dough and spread out in an even layer. Sprinkle the cheeses evenly out over top, then place the pepperoni on top spacing evenly.

  • Cover the crockpot completely with a paper towel(s) to absorb moisture, then add the lid. Cook on HIGH for 2 hours, checking at the 1 1/2 hour mark to make sure the edges aren't burning.
  • Remove the lid and the damp paper towel(s), then carefully lift the pizza out by the hanging edges of parchment paper. Transfer to a cutting board.
  • Slice, serve warm, and enjoy!

Notes

  • There are so many variations of this pizza! You could substitute the sauce for pesto sauce or alfredo sauce and switch out the toppings and cheeses.
  • Whatever you do, don't skip the parchment lining! The parchment makes it easy to get the pizza out of the slow cooker. Without it, the pizza will stick to the bowl of the Crock Pot.
  • The key for success with this recipe? The paper towels. They will absorb all the moisture and steam, preventing it from condensing onto the slow cooker lid and dripping back onto the pizza, making a soggy pizza.
