Ingredients
  

  • 10 slices chorizo sausage
  • Fresh basil leaves or parsley for garnish
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 cup tomato sauce store-bought or homemade
  • 1 lb pizza dough store-bought or homemade
  • Olive oil for brushing
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions
 

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Add Toppings : Top with shredded mozzarella cheese, followed by slices of chorizo sausage. Ensure even distribution for consistent flavor in every bite.
  • 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.
  • Garnish and Serve : Remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with fresh basil or parsley. Slice and serve hot.
