👨‍🍳 Instructions

Prepare Dough

10 min

In a large bowl, mix flour, yeast, and a pinch of salt. Add warm water and olive oil. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth.

💡 Tip: Use warm water to activate the yeast quickly.

Rest Dough

15 min

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.

💡 Tip: Resting allows the dough to become more elastic.

Prepare Toppings

10 min

Slice the chorizo, red onion, and bell pepper. Grate the mozzarella if not pre-grated.

💡 Tip: Cut vegetables uniformly for even cooking.

Preheat Oven

5 min

Preheat your oven to 220°C and place a baking sheet inside to heat.

💡 Tip: A preheated baking sheet ensures a crispy crust.

Shape the Dough

5 min

Dust a surface with cornmeal. Roll out the dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter.

💡 Tip: Cornmeal prevents sticking and adds texture.

Assemble Pizza

5 min

Spread tomato passata over the dough. Sprinkle with oregano and smoked paprika. Add mozzarella, chorizo, red onion, bell pepper, and olives.

💡 Tip: Layer toppings evenly for consistent flavor.

Bake Pizza

12 min

Transfer the pizza to the preheated baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.

💡 Tip: Rotate the pizza halfway through for even baking.

Serve

3 min

Remove pizza from the oven, let cool slightly, then slice and serve.

💡 Tip: Use a pizza cutter for clean slices.

💡 Pro Tips

✓ Experiment with different herbs for unique flavors.
✓ Ensure your oven is at the correct temperature before baking.
✓ Letting dough rest improves its elasticity and rise.
