  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 36 minute

Ingredients

For the Dough:
– 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
– 1 teaspoon sugar
– ¾ cup warm water
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Toppings:
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– ½ cup crumbled chorizo
– ½ cup sliced bell peppers
– ¼ cup sliced red onions
– 1 cup pizza sauce
– Fresh basil leaves (optional)
– Olive oil for drizzling


Instructions

Creating Homemade Chorizo Pizza can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Activate Yeast: In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2. Prepare Dough: In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a dough forms.
3. Knead Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
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 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
5. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) while the dough is rising.
6. Prepare Chorizo: In a skillet, cook the crumbled chorizo over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat and set aside.
7. Roll Out Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
8. Assemble Pizza: Place the rolled dough on a pizza stone or baking sheet. Spread pizza sauce evenly across the base, then sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
9. Add Toppings: Distribute the cooked chorizo, bell peppers, and red onions evenly over the cheese.
10. Bake Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
11. Garnish: Once out of the oven, drizzle with olive oil and top with fresh basil leaves if desired.
12. Slice and Serve: Allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing into wedges.

These steps will guide you in creating this incredible pizza effortlessly.
