Instructions

Creating Cuban Pizza can be a fun and rewarding experience if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
2. Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a baking sheet or a pizza peel if using a stone.
3. Spread the Sauce: Evenly spread the tomato sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
4. Add Mustard: Drizzle mustard over the sauce in a zig-zag pattern for an extra kick of flavor.
5. Layer the Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce and mustard.
6. Add Toppings: Layer the crumbled chorizo, diced ham, sliced pickles, onion, and bell peppers on top of the cheese.
7. Season: Sprinkle oregano and garlic powder over the pizza for added flavor.
8. Drizzle with Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle olive oil over the top to help with browning and flavor.
9. Bake: Carefully transfer the pizza to the oven (or onto the pizza stone) and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
10. Garnish: Once out of the oven, let the pizza cool for a few minutes. If desired, garnish with fresh cilantro before slicing.
11. Slice and Serve: Cut the pizza into slices and serve hot.

With these simple steps, you’ll create a Cuban Pizza that is sure to become a favorite in your household!
