Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Preheat the oven

    Turn the oven to 220 °C, convection if you can. Let it heat while you prep the toppings.

  2. Prep the veggies

    Cut the bell peppers (70 g) into thin strips and the onion (35 g) into thin slices. Slice the chorizo (35 g) into thin rounds.

  3. Cut the mozzarella

    Cut the mozzarella (60 g) into small pieces or tear it by hand, then set it aside.

  4. Oil the baking sheet

    Line the baking sheet with parchment paper and brush it with half the olive oil (1/2 tbsp). If your sheet is small, bake the pizzas one after the other.

  5. Roll out the dough

    Spread each pizza dough on the oiled sheet, or both side by side if there's room. Make them pretty thin, with a small border.

    Tip · Flour or oil your hands so the dough doesn't stick; if it shrinks back, let it rest 2 minutes before rolling it out again.

  6. Top the pizzas

    Spread half the tomato sauce (45 g) on each crust, then scatter the onion, bell peppers, chorizo and mozzarella, splitting them into two equal parts. Finish with the oregano, pepper and a drizzle of the rest of the olive oil.

  7. Bake the pizzas

    Bake at 220 °C until the edges are golden and the mozzarella is fully melted. If you have two baking sheets, put them on two racks and swap them halfway through.

    Tip · Start checking at 10 minutes, since the onion slices and chorizo brown fast. Serve with a green salad if you have one.

  8. Take them out and serve

    Take the pizzas out of the oven and let them rest a minute. Serve right away.
