Homemade pizza is delicious! It’s even more delicious when you add pepperoni. However, this meat makes messy wells of grease onto your creation. The key to avoid this is placing the pepperoni in a single layer on a paper towel-lined paper plate and microwaving for 30 seconds. Now arrange on top of the cheese on your uncooked pizza. Bake as usual and the fat will render out of the meat leaving leaner slices without sacrificing any flavor.
