• To make the Little Caesars pizza crust, you’ll need to follow a series of straightforward steps. The beauty lies in how easily everything comes together. Let’s get started!

Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace

• Before diving into preparation, make sure you have a clean, organized surface in the kitchen. Gather your ingredients and tools: mixing bowls, baking sheet, and a rolling pin.

Step 2: The Pizza Dough

• Take the refrigerated pizza dough out of its packaging. Unroll it carefully onto your baking sheet. If you’re using more than one package, you can either roll them together or stack them according to your preference for thickness.

Step 3: Add Baking Soda

• In a bowl, mix the baking soda with some warm water. Brush this solution over the dough. This step is crucial as it gives the dough a unique texture and flavor reminiscent of Little Caesars.

Step 4: Sprinkle Salt

• Now, generously sprinkle coarse sea salt over the crust. The salt will enhance the flavor, making each bite absolutely delicious.

Step 5: Mix the Toppings

• While your crust isn’t baking yet, prepare your toppings. Lay out the pepperoni slices and the mozzarella cheese. The red pepper flakes and garlic powder will add that characteristic taste.

Step 6: Assemble Your Pizza

• Once the dough is ready, pile on the cheeses and pepperoni. Feel free to get creative! Toss in some vegetables if you’re feeling adventurous.

Step 7: Make the Cheese Sauce

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the evaporated milk, Pepper Jack, and cheddar cheese. Stir frequently until the cheeses melt and create a smooth sauce. Mix in the cornstarch and hot sauce, stirring until the sauce thickens.

Step 8: Bake

• Preheat the oven to the temperature indicated on the pizza dough package—usually around 425°F (220°C). Bake your assembled pizza for about 15-20 minutes or until it becomes golden brown.
