– 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

Creating Cuban Pizza is a fun and engaging process. Follow these simple steps to bring this incredible dish to life:

1. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt.
3. Combine Ingredients: Add the frothy yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour. Mix until a dough forms.
4. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. Let it Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
6. Preheat the Oven: While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
7. Prepare the Toppings: In a separate bowl, mix together the mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, chorizo, bell peppers, onions, olives, oregano, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
8. Roll Out the Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
9. Transfer to Baking Sheet: Place the rolled-out dough onto a greased baking sheet or pizza stone.
10. Add Toppings: Spread the cheese and topping mixture evenly over the dough, making sure to cover the entire surface.
11. Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
12. Cool Slightly: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
13. Slice and Serve: Use a pizza cutter to slice the pizza into generous pieces.

These steps will guide you through creating your own delicious Cuban Pizza, allowing you to enjoy its amazing flavors right in your home.
