Sicilian Extra Crispy Thin Crust Supreme Pizza with Side Salad (The Works, Balsamic)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 250°C (480°F) with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside for at least 30 minutes to ensure maximum crispiness.

2. 2

   On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough (160g) as thin as possible, aiming for a large, even circle or rectangle.

3. 3

   Carefully transfer the rolled dough onto a piece of parchment paper.

4. 4

   Brush the dough with 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, making sure to cover the edges for extra crispiness.

5. 5

   Spread 80g homemade tomato pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

6. 6

   Sprinkle 80g part-skim mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.

7. 7

   Distribute 40g turkey pepperoni, 40g cooked and crumbled lean Italian chicken sausage, 60g sliced bell peppers, 40g sliced red onion, and 40g sliced black olives evenly over the cheese.

8. 8

   Sprinkle 1 tsp dried oregano over the toppings.

9. 9

   Using a pizza peel or the back of a baking sheet, slide the pizza (with parchment) onto the preheated stone or baking sheet.

10. 10

    Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and extra crispy, and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.

11. 11

    While the pizza bakes, prepare the side salad: In a large bowl, combine 120g mixed salad greens, 40g halved cherry tomatoes, 20g sliced cucumber, 20g thinly sliced red onion, and 20g sliced black olives.

12. 12

    Drizzle the salad with 2 tbsp balsamic vinaigrette and toss gently to coat.

13. 13

    Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing.

14. 14

    Serve the extra crispy thin crust supreme pizza hot, accompanied by the fresh side salad.
