Using chorizo instead of pepperoni, in tandem with the manzanilla olives, gives a slightly different flavor profile that feels a little more grown up.

Ingredients

  • 1 Prepared Pizza Dough
  • 1/2 16-oz. Package of Sliced Fresh Mozzarella, torn into pieces (or fresh shredded low moisture mozzarella)
  • 4 oz. Sliced Spanish Chorizo
  • 1/4 cup Manzanilla Olives, sliced in half lengthwise
  • Shaved Manchego Cheese, to finish

Instructions

1

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

First add mozzarella cheese, then evenly place chorizo to cover the mozzarella.

6

Scatter olives over pizza and bake for 15 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

7

When the pizza comes out, evenly scatter thin Manchego slices on pizza.
