#### Step 2: Add the Sauce
1. Spread an even layer of pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
2. If you’re using homemade sauce, make sure it’s not too watery to avoid sogginess in the crust.
#### Step 3: Add the Cheese
1. Sprinkle an even layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
2. Add a layer of shredded cheddar cheese on top for extra richness and flavor.
#### Step 4: Add the Toppings
1. Evenly distribute the pepperoni slices over the cheese. If you’re using additional toppings like mushrooms, bell peppers, olives, or onions, add them at this stage as well.
#### Step 5: Season and Bake
1. Sprinkle dried oregano, basil, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes (if using) over the top.
2. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.
#### Step 6: Garnish and Serve
1. Remove the pizza squares from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
2. Slice into squares and serve immediately.
