Ingredients
- Pizza dough
- 1 lb
- Tomato sauce
- 1 cup
- Mozzarella cheese
- 2 cups, shredded

- 6 oz, thinly sliced
- Fresh basil leaves
- 1/2 cup, torn
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons, for drizzling
- Salt

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it preheats.
- On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness, ensuring it's evenly shaped.
- Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce, creating a luscious layer.
- Evenly arrange the slices of Calabrese salami on top of the cheese, allowing for maximum flavor in every bite.
- Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (or onto the pizza stone if using) and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
- Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and immediately top with the torn fresh basil leaves for a burst of freshness.
- Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
- Slice the pizza into wedges and serve hot, enjoying the symphony of flavors!
Tips
- For an extra kick, consider adding red pepper flakes on top before baking.
- You can experiment with different cheeses like provolone or fontina for added depth of flavor.
- If you're feeling adventurous, try adding some roasted red peppers or olives for an extra layer of taste.
