Instructions
Creating your own Calabrese Pizza can be an enjoyable and straightforward process. Follow these steps for a delicious result:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
2. Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a pizza peel or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Add Sauce: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
4. Layer the Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce.
5. Add Toppings: Layer the spicy Calabrese salami, roasted red bell peppers, and black olives (if using) on top of the cheese. Sprinkle dried oregano for added flavor.
6. Drizzle with Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle olive oil over the toppings to enhance the flavor during baking.
7. Bake the Pizza: Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven or pizza stone. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
8. Cool and Garnish: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing.
9. Slice and Serve: Use a pizza cutter to slice the pizza into wedges.
