   Using a hand-operated kitchen mixer, mix the cream cheese, parmesan cheese, pepper, garlic powder, and eggs until a smooth consistency

   .

   Do NOT add the mozzarella cheese to the mix. It will be the first topping on your sauce later. This mix is your delicious pizza dough to spread into the baking pan.

   Leave a ¼ to ½ inch border with no cheese along the perimeter of your crust

   .

   This prevents burning the cheese, and prevents it from sticking to the pan.

    Now, you are ready to add toppings

    :

     

    1. Note: When adding the toppings keep them off the edge of the dough, just as you did with the mozzarella cheese.
    2. First step is to lay the pepperoni and ham pieces as the bottom flat layer. Note to not put a piece in the very center for thorough cooking, and to prevent cutting any center piece to the bottom.
    3. Add the sausage evenly.
    4. Spread the bell pepper and mushroom pieces evenly.
    5. As a final ingredients step, sprinkle the garlic powder and oregano pieces evenly over the toppings.
    6. You may wish to sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top, also. It's great as a mix with oregano.
    7. Bake your savory pizza at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted.
    8. Once the pizza is taken from the oven, it is recommended to let it "stage" for a few minutes before cutting. This enhances the taste, and keeps the cut pieces' toppings and cheese from sticking together so much during the serving.
