Ingredients

Meat :

  • 10 slices chorizo sausage

Produce :

  • Fresh basil leaves or parsley, for garnish
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano

Condiments :

  • 1 cup tomato sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Baking & Spices :

  • 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)

Oils & Vinegars :

  • Olive oil, for brushing

Dairy :

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven : Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you’re using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
  2. Prepare the Dough : Flatten the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface, stretching it to your preferred thickness. Carefully lift and place it onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, or onto a pizza peel if you’re using a pizza stone.
  3. Assemble the Pizza : Brush the rolled-out dough lightly with olive oil. Spread an even layer of tomato sauce over the surface, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust. Sprinkle garlic powder and oregano over the sauce.
  4. Add Toppings : Top with shredded mozzarella cheese, followed by slices of chorizo sausage. Ensure even distribution for consistent flavor in every bite.
  5. Bake : Place the pizza in the oven or onto the preheated pizza stone. Let it bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the crust turns a golden brown and becomes crisp, while the cheese melts and begins to bubble.
  6. Garnish and Serve : Remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with fresh basil or parsley. Slice and serve hot.
