The flattened dough should be about the diameter of a softball. Sprinkle on more flour if needed
to keep from sticking.
3. Spread 1 TBSP or so of pizza sauce in the center of the dough. Make sure to leave a lip of
unsauced dough around the outer edge so you will be able to seal the ball without any mess.

2 TBSP pepperoni, then form them into a ball.
