Fresh jalapeños bring crunch, bite and bright green color. Juicy sweetness of pineapple; Calabrese salami and fontina are savory and rich.

Ingredients

  • 1 Prepared Pizza Dough
  • 1/4 cup Crushed San Marzano Tomatoes and their juices
  • 1 cup Grated Fontina Cheese
  • 4-6 oz. Calabrese Salami or Pepperoni

  • 1 Large (or 2 small) Fresh Jalapeños, sliced into rounds

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

2

On a floured pizza peel, dust the dough with flour and create a crust around the perimeter of the dough and flatten down the center.

3

Stretch it out on the backs of your hands, left hand over right hand, until the dough is roughly 12-inches around.

4

Add more flour evenly on the peel and lay the dough on the peel.

5

Spoon and spread the crushed tomatoes evenly around the dough and add a layer of fontina cheese.

6

Evenly distribute the Calabrese salami over the cheese and sauce – use as much as you like!

7

Place several mozzarella pearls over the Calabrese and evenly place the thin pineapple wedges around the pizza.

8

Top with jalapeño slices.

Bake for 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
