Instructions
Making your Spicy Chorizo Beef Pizza is simple when you follow these steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure a crispy crust.
2. Cook the Meats: In a skillet, cook the ground beef and chorizo over medium heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
3. Prepare the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a pizza stone or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Add Sauce: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
5. Layer the Cheese: Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
6. Spread the Meats: Evenly distribute the cooked beef and chorizo over the cheese layer.
7. Add Veggies: Top with sliced bell peppers and red onion for added flavor and crunch.
8. Finish with Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top, along with dried oregano and crushed red pepper flakes if desired.
9. Brush the Crust: Lightly brush the edges of the crust with olive oil for a golden finish.
10. Bake: 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. Cool and Garnish: Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if preferred.
12. Slice and Serve: Cut into slices and serve hot.
These clear steps will guide you in creating a delicious and satisfying Spicy Chorizo Beef Pizza effortlessly.
