Ingredients

1 8-ounce store-bought or homemade pizza dough 1/4 to 1/2 cup pizza sauce 4 oz. fresh mozzarella, sliced 2 oz. fresh parmesan, shredded 2 oz. spicy salami, sliced thin 2 Tbsp. pickled hot peppers, chopped

2 tsp. Crushed Aleppo Chiles

1 tsp. Onion & Garlic Everyday Seasoning

12 fresh basil leaves, whole Semolina or flour, for stretching pizza and dusting pizza peel

Directions

Step 1 Remove store-bought dough or homemade dough from the refrigerator at least two hours before cooking.

Step 2 If using an outdoor pizza oven, preheat on high for at least 30 minutes until it reaches 850°F to 950°F. If using a home oven, preheat pizza stone to 500-550°F for at least 30 minutes. Use an infrared thermometer to quickly and accurately check the temperature of the cooking surface.

Step 3 Lightly flour your working surface and hand stretch or roll the dough until a uniform circle is formed. Press into the edges evenly to create the crust.

Step 4 If using an outdoor pizza oven, or pizza stone or steel at home, prepare a pizza peel with semolina or flour to prevent sticking. Transfer the stretched dough to the peel ensuring it does not stick.

Step 5 Spread pizza sauce evenly on dough leaving a 1/2-inch border for the crust.

Step 6 Top with mozzarella, parmesan, spicy salami, and pickled hot peppers. Sprinkle with Crushed Aleppo Chiles and Onion & Garlic Tableside Sprinkle.

Step 7 Cook for 90-120 seconds in pizza oven, turning to ensure an even bake. Or, about 12-15 minutes in a home oven.

Step 8 Remove pizza from oven. Add fresh basil leaves. Slice, serve, and enjoy.

Recipe Notes

Grab pickled hot peppers at any grocery store. Pick your favorite—Cherry, Calabrian, Sweety Drop, Jalapeño, Banana Peppers—or mix and match for a flavor combo.
