Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 450Β°F and place the oven rack in the lower third position.
-
Prepare Dough: In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, fast rise yeast, and garlic salt.
-
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a measuring cup, mix together the water, extra virgin olive oil, and honey until the honey dissolves.
-
Combine Ingredients: Stir the water mixture into the flour mixture until it forms a ball of dough.
-
Knead Dough: On a floured surface, knead the dough for 3 to 4 minutes until it becomes elastic and is no longer sticky. Add more flour if needed to prevent sticking.
-
Let Dough Rest: Cover the dough with an inverted mixing bowl and let it rest for 10 minutes.
-
Prepare Pizza Pan: Lightly grease a 14-inch pizza pan and dust it with cornmeal.
-
Roll Out Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 15-inch round. Note that the dough may shrink slightly when lifted.
-
Assemble Pizza: Place the rolled-out dough onto the prepared pizza pan. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, then top with sliced green bell pepper and onion.
-
Bake First Round: Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 8 minutes.
-
Add Toppings: After 8 minutes, remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle the Manchego and mozzarella cheese over the top. Arrange the chorizo sausage links and Spanish olives with pimento on top of the cheese.
-
Bake Second Round: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 4 to 6 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown around the edges.
-
Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the Spanish-Style Pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Additional Notes:
- Chorizo is a highly seasoned pork sausage, typically smoked, which adds a distinctive flavor to this pizza. Look for it in the meat department of your grocery store. If chorizo is unavailable, feel free to substitute any spicy or garlicky smoked sausage of your choice.
