Instructions
1-First Step: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare your pizza dough by rolling it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle to ensure even twists.
2-Second Step: Spread a thin layer of taco seasoning mixed with a little olive oil over the dough for flavor infusion. This base can be customized with vegan or gluten-free alternatives.
3-Third Step: Layer the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, then add pepperoni slices, diced tomatoes, chopped onions, and bell peppers.
4-Fourth Step: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough lengthwise into strips about 1 inch wide. Carefully twist each strip to form the signature twisted look, placing them on a lined baking sheet.
5-Fifth Step: Bake the twists in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown and cheese is bubbly. For low-calorie versions, monitor cheese browning closely.
6-Final Step: Remove from oven, let cool slightly, garnish with fresh cilantro or taco sauce, and serve warm.
