Pizza Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
Prepare the Sauce
In a blender, combine the San Marzano tomatoes, Calabrian chili pepper, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth.
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) or your pizza stone if you have one.
Assemble the Pizza
Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a pizza peel or baking sheet. Spread the Calabrian chili-infused tomato sauce evenly over the dough.
Add Toppings
Layer the spianata salami, piquillo peppers, and mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce. Sprinkle with grated Pecorino Romano cheese.
Bake the Pizza
Drizzle a little olive oil over the top and place the pizza in the preheated oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Garnish and Serve
Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve hot.
