Ingredients
- All-purpose flour for dusting
- 1 batch basic pizza dough, divided into 4 equal balls (see related
- recipe at left)
- 2 cups tomato sauce (see related recipe at left)
- 1 1/2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
- 1 1/2 oz. salami, sliced paper-thin
- 2 Tbs. thinly sliced fresh basil
Instructions
- Preheat a beehive pizza oven according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- On a floured work surface, roll out each dough ball into a 10-inch round, dusting with flour as needed. Place 1 dough round on a floured pizza peel. Spread 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce on the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle one-fourth of the cheese on top.
- Transfer the pizza to the oven, tapping the peel lightly to release the pizza. Bake until the cheese has melted and the crust is golden, 8 to 10 minutes, rotating the pizza occasionally to ensure even browning.
- Transfer the pizza to a cutting board and arrange one-fourth of the salami on top in an overlapping pattern. Sprinkle with 1/2 Tbs. of the basil. Cut the pizza into slices and serve immediately. Repeat to top and cook the remaining pizzas. Makes four 10-inch pizzas.
