  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 45 minute

Ingredients

– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
– ¾ cup warm water
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup chorizo, crumbled
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1 cup diced tomatoes
– ½ cup sliced bell peppers
– ½ cup sliced red onions
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
– Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Making your Homemade Chorizo Pizza is easy if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
2. Mix Ingredients: Add flour, olive oil, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
3. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. Let it Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
5. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
6. Cook the Chorizo: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the crumbled chorizo until browned. Drain excess fat and set aside.
7. Roll Out the Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
8. Prepare the Pizza Base: Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
9. Add the Toppings: Spread a layer of diced tomatoes over the dough. Then, sprinkle the cooked chorizo, followed by mozzarella cheese, bell peppers, and red onions.
10. Season: Sprinkle oregano and crushed red pepper flakes over the top for added flavor.
11. Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
12. Cool and Slice: Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Slice into wedges.

These steps will guide you in creating an incredible Homemade Chorizo Pizza that will delight your family and friends.
