For a deeper, smokier flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the dry ingredient mixture. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to control the spiciness level to your preference. Ensure the foil is tightly wrapped to prevent steam from escaping during baking, which can affect the texture. For best results, allow the pepperoni to cool completely before slicing. This allows the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up. Try searing the pepperoni slices in a hot pan with a little oil before adding to your pizza for a crispy, caramelized edge.
