Diavolo (Devils!) Pizza

Moments Cookbook
Course Mains
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • extra virgin olive oil
  • fresh pizza dough
  • 1 medium red onion, halved and thinly sliced
  • 6 ounces pizza sauce *We prefer Carbone's spicy pizza sauce (if you use this, skip the Calabrian chili peppers step).
  • 2 teaspoons Calabrian chilis
  • 3 ounces spicy salami
  • 8 ounces shredded mozzarella
  • Parmigiano Reggiano, for sprinkling
  • crushed red pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Bring the pizza dough to room temperature if it's frozen.
  • Place oven rack in the top third of the oven. Preheat to 500℉.
  • Lightly spread olive oil on pan.
  • Roll out the pizza dough. We use a drinking glass that we've rolled in the olive oil on the pan. The dough won't stretch to the edges yet. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm area (covering with a kitchen towel helps).
  • Once the dough has become more pillowy, gently push to the edges of the pan. Then, remove the plastic wrap.
  • Add Calabrian chili peppers to the sauce, and mix well. Then, spread all over the dough. Add the onions, mozzarella, and spicy salami (in that order).
  • Place in the oven and cook 10-15 minutes until the crust is golden.
  • Enjoy!
