Ingredients

• 1 ball Pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Garlic cloves
• 1 cup Canned crushed tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 100 grams Plant-based salami
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Red onion
• 0.5 cup Green bell pepper
• 0.5 cup Mushrooms
• 0.25 cup Black olives
• 5 leaves Fresh basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and position a rack in the lower third of the oven.

Step 2

Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to form a 12-inch round crust and transfer it to a pizza stone or baking sheet.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the minced garlic for 30 seconds.

Step 4

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper; let simmer for 5 minutes to form a rich sauce.

Step 5

Spread the prepared sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 6

Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese generously across the pizza base.

Step 7

Arrange slices of the plant-based salami evenly over the cheese.

Step 8

Top with sliced red onion, green bell pepper, mushrooms, and black olives.

Step 9

Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the top of the pizza to help the crust crisp up during baking.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.

Step 11

Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before garnishing with fresh basil leaves.

Step 12

Slice and serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, comforting flavors of a classic vegetarian salami pizza.
