Ingredients:

  • Pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • Olive oil

  • Fresh basil leaves
  • Toppings of your choice (pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, etc.)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to its highest setting, typically 500°F or higher. If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat as well.

  3. Lightly dust a pizza peel or the back of a baking sheet with cornmeal or flour.
  4. Transfer the stretched dough onto the peel or baking sheet.
  5. Brush the dough lightly with olive oil, then spread a thin layer of tomato sauce over it, leaving a small border for the crust.
  6. Arrange slices of mozzarella and your chosen toppings evenly on the sauce.
  7. Season with salt and pepper.
  8. Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or a baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
  10. Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh basil, and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

]]> While you may think that you need to travel to Italy to indulge in an authentic pizza, with the right ingredients, you can create the perfect Sicilian-style pizza in your own kitchen. Here’s how you can craft a delicious and authentic Sicilian pizza at home.

Bake the Base

Whether you pre-purchase the pizza base or make your own, you’ll need to ensure that it is well-coated in oil and baked in the oven until it becomes puffy and rises. Make sure to keep checking on your base and ensure that it remains flat and that it doesn’t become too oily. Blot out any areas where there is too much moisture.

Prep the Toppings

Once your base is ready, set it aside to cool for around 20 to 30 minutes. Then, cut some squash into spirals and grate your mozzarella cheese. Cut up some slices of salami and pour one and a quarter cups of pizza sauce into a jug or container so you can pour it later.

Time to Put it All Together

Take a spoon and spread the sauce evenly across the pizza base. Once you have the amount of sauce you want, sprinkle the cheese evenly before adding your slices of squash and salami. Finally, bake the pizza until the bottom is golden brown and enjoy.
