- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Yield: 1 12-inch pizza
- Category: Pizza
- Method: Baked
- Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients
- 1/2 recipe artisan pizza dough (one 15 oz dough ball)
- 1/3 cup pizza sauce
- 3 1/2 oz fresh mozzarella, torn into pieces
- 2 oz shredded provolone cheese
- 2 tbsp calabrian chile paste, plus more for serving
- 2 oz sliced calabrese salami (can substitute any spicy salami)
- 1 fresh rosemary sprig, leaves picked off and woody stem discarded
Instructions
- Place pizza steel or stone in the oven and preheat to 500°F. Let steel heat up for a full 45 minutes. Generously flour a pizza peel and set aside.
- On a floured surface, flatten the middle of the dough ball into a large disk, leaving a thick 1-inch lip. Pick up the disk, and holding the thick edge, use gravity to shape the dough into a 12-inch circle. Lay on prepared pizza peel and adjust shape into a circle. Jiggle the peel to make sure the dough isn’t sticking (add more flour if it is).
- Spread pizza sauce over the surface of the dough, leaving 1/4-inch border. Sprinkle with torn mozzarella and provolone. Spoon dollops of the calabrian chile paste around the pizza, then top with the salami.
- Slide pizza onto steel and bake for 5 minutes. Broil for 2- 4 minutes, watching pizza closely, until cheese is bubbly and crust is charred in spots.
- Scatter with rosemary leaves. Let pizza cool slightly. Slice and serve with more calabrian chile paste on the side.
