Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.75 cup Tomato sauce
- 16 slices Salami
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 2 tablespoons Cornmeal
Instructions
Begin by preparing the pizza dough. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast, sugar, and warm water. Stir gently, then let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Add the olive oil, salt, and 2 cups of the flour to the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough begins to form.
Gradually add the remaining 0.5 cup of flour as needed, kneading the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic, about 5-10 minutes. The dough should be slightly sticky.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes, or until it doubles in size.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Roll or stretch the dough into a 12-inch round.
Sprinkle a large baking sheet or pizza peel with cornmeal to prevent sticking. Place the dough on the prepared surface.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Arrange the salami slices over the sauce, followed by the shredded mozzarella cheese.
Sprinkle the dried oregano and basil evenly over the top.
Carefully transfer the prepared pizza to the preheated oven or pizza stone.
Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Salami Pizza.
