Pizza Ingredients

Method

Pizza Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pizza Dough

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness and shape. Transfer the rolled dough onto a pizza stone or baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Add the Sauce

    Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a little space at the edges for the crust.

  3. 3

    Layer the Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, covering it evenly.

  4. 4

    Add the Meats

    Layer the sliced mortadella, salami, and sopressata over the cheese.

  5. 5

    Add Pineapple and Pepperoncini

    Evenly distribute the diced pineapple and sliced pepperoncini over the top.

  6. 6

    Season and Drizzle

    Drizzle a little olive oil over the top and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  7. 7

    Bake the Pizza

    Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

  8. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the pizza from the oven, add fresh basil leaves on top, slice, and serve hot.
