Ingredients
Ingredients
pizza dough
1 (for a 12-inch pizza, homemade or store-bought)
melted tomatoes
1/4 cup (prepared according to the recipe)
soppressata
6 slices (sliced thinly)
black olives
10 (pitted)
parmesan cheese or grana padano
2 tablespoons (grated)
olive oil
1 tablespoon (for drizzling)
Instructions
1
Preheat your broiler and prepare the pizza dough according to your preferred recipe or package instructions until it is stretchy and pliable.
2
Once the dough is ready, carefully shape it into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface, ensuring an even thickness throughout. Transfer the dough to a pizza stone or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3
Spread the melted tomatoes evenly over the surface of the dough, allowing for a generous layer, as this will be the base of flavor.
4
Layer the thin slices of soppressata over the tomatoes, ensuring they are evenly distributed to achieve a perfect bite of flavor with every slice.
5
Scatter the pitted black olives across the top, adding a hint of saltiness that complements the other ingredients.
6
Finish with a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese (or grana padano) and drizzle with high-quality olive oil for added richness.
7
Place the pizza under the broiler and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, watching closely as it cooks. Rotate the pizza every 2 minutes to ensure an evenly golden-brown crust.
8
Once the edges are golden and the cheese is bubbly, remove the pizza from the oven. Allow it to cool for a minute, then slice and serve hot, garnished with extra olive oil if desired.
