Pixar shared their Soul-inspired pizza recipe on Instagram! This 30-minute recipe is perfect for a quick, but fun, family meal or for a last-minute date night dinner. Here’s what you need to buy and do to make this yummy meal:

Ingredients

Pizza Dough
Mozzarella cheese, shredded
Pepperoni slices
Pizza Sauce
Fresh basil leaves
Kitchen scissors
Small paring knife

@Pixar

Directions:

Prepare and preheat the oven according to pizza dough package instructions.
Knead and roll out pizza dough to about ½ inch in a circular shape. Pixar recommends, “If you’re feeling brave, try your hand at hand-tossing it!”
Pour pizza sauce into the center of the pizza dough and spread evenly, leaving about an inch of space for the crust.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Place the pepperoni slices.
Place basil leaves on top.
Bake the pizza until the crust is golden brown, about 10-15 minutes. The crust should be thick and crispy along the edge, but thick and soft under the toppings for folding potential.
Let cool, cut into wide slices, and enjoy!

And that’s it! If you’re not a pepperoni fan like Joe is, replace it with any topping or keep it plain.

We think this pizza would pair perfectly with a movie night watching Pixar’s Soul or the new Pixar movie, Turning Red, coming out March 11th on Disney+! Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney recipes that you can try at home.
