Pizza Ingredients
Method
Pizza Preparation
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure a crispy crust.
Prepare the Dough
On a floured surface, stretch or roll out the pizza dough into a round shape, about 12 inches in diameter.
Add Tomato Sauce
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the stretched pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Add Cheese and Meats
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then layer the spicy sopressata and salami slices on top.
Season the Pizza
Drizzle olive oil over the top, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Bake the Pizza
Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
Garnish and Serve
Remove the pizza from the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve hot.
