Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pizza dough ball
  • 1 ladle of pizza sauce
  • Fresh mozzarella cheese
  • Spanish chorizo
  • Dried oregano
  • Extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Prepare Dough: Follow any of our dough recipes. For this particular bake, we used our classic dough recipe.
  • Prepare Sauce: 
    We recommend our standard pizza sauce which is versatile, simple to make and is perfect for Neapolitan style pizzas.
    Spice up this sauce however you like, remember the best part about making pizza is the creative process!
  • Prepare Cheese:
    Place your fresh mozzarella in a container or bowl with a paper towel at the bottom to allow some of the water to drain. Set aside for assembly.
  • Preheat Oven:
    Outdoor Pizza Oven: If using an outdoor pizza like an Ooni pizza oven, aim for a temperature of 450-500°C at the center of your pizza stone. Use an infrared thermometer to ensure accuracy. It should take around 25-30 minutes to reach temperature.
    Home Oven: Place pizza steel or stone inside the oven and preheat to the highest temperature for at least 30 minutes.
  • Prepare Base: 
    On a lightly floured surface, stretch out the dough by hand according to the steps outlined in our dough recipe.
    Once you're happy with the shape of the base, lightly dust your pizza peel and transfer the dough onto the peel.
  • Assemble Pizza: 
    Spread a ladle of sauce onto the dough in a circular motion, starting from the center and working outwards.
    Evenly distribute mozzarella cheese pieces across the base, then top with chorizo slices.
    Finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
  • Bake Your Pizza:
    Outdoor Pizza Oven: Launch the pizza into the oven and bake for 60-90 seconds. Keep an eye on the pie and rotate every 10-15 seconds to ensure even cooking and to prevent burning.
    Home Oven: Launch pizza onto a pizza steel or stone, the bake time should be around 7-10 minutes.
  • Serving:
    Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and place it on a serving board. Sprinkle over some dried oregano and let it rest for a minute before slicing.
    Now it's time to enjoy the rich, smoky flavours of your Spanish chorizo pizza!
