Antipasto Pizza

I love, Love, LOVE homemade pizza!  This one is pretty basic.  It is simple and wonderful!

Ingredients:  Pizza dough (I use Pioneer Woman's recipe), pizza sauce, balsamic vinegar, fresh mozzarella, olive oil, kosher salt, salami or sopressata, black olives, pepperoncini peppers, roasted red bell peppers, cornmeal for dusting.

I would have also added artichokes if I wasn't sharing this pizza with my husband.

Sprinkle your baking sheet with some cornmeal.  This helps keep the dough from sticking and give the crust a nice texture.

Roll out your pizza dough, rub it with olive oil and season with kosher salt.

Add a splash of balsamic vinegar to your pizza sauce.

Spread it all over the dough then top it with fresh mozzarella.  I usually buy the mozzarella pearls which cuts out the step of slicing the cheese, but they were out of it.  The joys of shopping at Wal-Mart.


Then add the salami/sopresatta.

Then top with the veggies.

Bake at 500 degrees for about 12 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden.

Yummy!  So easy and wonderful!
