Pizza al Salame

Pizza al Salame is a delicious and simple dish that comes from Italy, where salami is a common and beloved topping on pizza. Let me show you how I make my own version, combining classic flavors with my personal preferences.

What to Expect:

When making Pizza al Salame, you’ll get a delicious, crispy crust paired with the rich flavor of tomato sauce, gooey mozzarella, and savory salami. The key is to avoid overloading the pizza with too many toppings to ensure it bakes evenly and stays crispy.

Method:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you’re using a pizza stone, let it heat up along with the oven for a crispy crust.
2. Prepare the Dough: Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. You can make it thin for a crispy crust or thicker if you prefer a softer base.
3. Spread the Sauce: Evenly spread the tomato sauce over the dough. Don’t overdo it—too much sauce can make the crust soggy.
4. Add Cheese and Toppings: Sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then layer your sliced salami on top. Feel free to add any other toppings like onions or fresh basil for extra flavor.
5. Bake the Pizza: Transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (or pizza stone) and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
6. Serve: Once done, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before slicing. Enjoy!

Variations:

• Spicy Salami Pizza: Add a sprinkle of chili flakes for a bit of heat.
• Veggie Salami Pizza: Include some bell peppers, mushrooms, or olives for extra flavor and texture.
• Cheese Variations: Swap mozzarella for provolone, parmesan, or a mix of cheeses for different flavors.

• Feel free to experiment with different types of salami, such as the milder cotto salami or the spicier soppressata​
