Ingredients

• 1 ball (12-inch crust) Pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Crushed tomatoes
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
• 8 ounces (sliced into rounds) Fresh mozzarella
• 4 ounces (thinly sliced) Hot soppressata or spicy salami
• 0.25 cup, sliced Pickled jalapeños
• 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 2 tablespoons, grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon (for dusting) Semolina flour or cornmeal

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to its maximum temperature (typically 500°F or higher). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven and allow it to heat for at least 30 minutes to ensure a crispy crust.

Step 2

On a clean surface, lightly dust with semolina flour or cornmeal to prevent sticking. Stretch the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle, leaving a slightly thicker edge for the crust.

Step 3

Brush 1 tablespoon of olive oil evenly across the entire dough surface to help it crisp up in the oven.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the crushed tomatoes with the minced garlic and red chili flakes. Spread this sauce evenly onto the dough, leaving about 1/2 inch of space around the edges.

Step 5

Evenly arrange the slices of fresh mozzarella across the pizza base, allowing space for melting and bubbling.

Step 6

Add the hot soppressata or spicy salami slices on top of the cheese, followed by the pickled jalapeños for an extra kick.

Step 7

If using a pizza stone, carefully transfer the prepared pizza to the stone using a pizza peel. Alternatively, place the pizza onto a preheated baking sheet for cooking.

Step 8

Bake the pizza for 8-10 minutes, or until the crust is charred and crispy, the cheese is melted and bubbling, and the toppings are slightly caramelized.

Step 9

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly for 2-3 minutes. Finish by garnishing with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 10

Slice and serve immediately to enjoy the bold, spicy flavors of Coal’s Firecracker Pizza!
