Venison Chorizo Salami Homemade Pizza
Prep Time105 Minutes
Servings4
Cook Time10 Minutes
Ingredients
FOR THE PIZZA DOUGH: 2 1/4 teaspoons or 1 packet dry active yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 cups warm water (about 110 F)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
3 1/2 – 4 cups all-purpose flour
FOR THE PIZZA: 1 package Fossil Farms Venison & Wagyu Beef Chorizo Salami, thinly sliced
1 cup pizza sauce
3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup fresh spinach leaves
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1 sprig fresh parsley (optional)
Directions
- TO MAKE THE PIZZA DOUGH: Prepare the pizza dough: In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- Add the olive oil, salt and 2 cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until combined.
- Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 6-8 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into two equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and let them rest for 10 minutes before rolling out.
- TO ASSEMBLE THE PIZZA: Heat oven to 475 F. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out each portion of the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer each dough to a pizza peel or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over each dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce on each pizza.
- Arrange the sliced salami, fresh spinach leaves and red onion slices over the cheese. Feel free to add more or less of any ingredient based on your preferences.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano and crushed red pepper flakes (if using) over the top.
- Transfer the pizzas to the heated pizza stone or place baking sheet in the oven.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
- Remove the pizzas from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Makes 2 - 12-inch pizzas.
