Ingredients:

For the Hash Brown Crust:

4 cups frozen shredded hash browns, thawed and squeezed dry

1 large egg

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp garlic powder

½ tsp onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tbsp olive oil (for greasing the pan)

For the Pizza Toppings:

¾ cup pizza sauce or marinara

1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup sliced pepperoni (or topping of choice: sausage, mushrooms, bell peppers, etc.)

¼ cup chopped red onion

½ tsp dried oregano

½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Prep the Hash Browns:
    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a 12-inch round pizza pan or baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with olive oil.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed and well-drained hash browns with the egg, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully incorporated.

  1. Form the Crust:
    Transfer the hash brown mixture to the prepared pan. Using your hands or a spatula, press it firmly into a round crust shape, about ½-inch thick. Press down tightly to ensure the crust sticks together during baking.
  2. Bake the Crust:
    Place the crust in the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy around the edges. For an extra crispy base, you can broil it for an additional 2-3 minutes — just keep a close eye on it!
  3. Add the Toppings:
    Remove the crust from the oven. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border. Sprinkle on the shredded mozzarella cheese, then layer with your favorite toppings. Add pepperoni, red onion, or whatever you’re craving.
  4. Bake Again:
    Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  5. Garnish & Serve:
    Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle with dried oregano and crushed red pepper flakes if desired. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley. Let cool for a few minutes before slicing.
  6. Enjoy:
    Serve up a slice of crispy, cheesy, golden perfection. Great for brunch, dinner, or even a snack. You won’t miss the dough — promise! 😋
