Most pizzas are made in the exact same way. Put down the dough, spread sauce on top of that, followed by cheese, then toppings. This recipe came about because I got out of order when making a pizza and I put the toppings down right on top of the sauce before I put on the cheese. And I decided that's not wrong.

Sanitize Everyth- no that's my other series
That's a joke from my Febrewary homebrewing series where the first step in homebrewing is to SANITIZE EVERYTHING! We're just cooking here but you should at least wash your hands. |

Saucy
Here I've used a commercially available premade crust and sauce but I add extra spices like crushed red pepper flakes to the sauce before I spread it around. That distributes the flavor nicely across the pizza.

Top it off
Now I add the large solid toppings like the pepperoni slices, olives, onion, pineapple, etc.

| All covered with cheese |
Hide the pepperoni
Now I add my cheese on top of the toppings. Two cups of pizza cheese mix does a good job covering everything up.

Done
Follow the remainder of your recipe to cook the crust and melt the cheese. The cheese itself forms a solid cap over the works like an Arctic ice floe. And the best part is you can hide anything under the cheese. Anchovies, sliced jalepenos, it's all fair game now.
