Ingredients
Steps
Haha, what tasty surprises are in this big box?
Lots of ingredients: a 10-inch dough base, 2 big packs of cheese, and even a complimentary small bag of cheddar cheese (a promotion item) ensuring a cheesy flavor explosion.
A no-brainer instruction manual.
Thin crust — I prefer this style over the thick, bread-like ones.
Even the bottom of this crust looks appetizing, right?
Toppings include mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese (a freebie for the opening promo), shredded cheese, sausage, black olives, cherry tomatoes, bacon sauce, olive oil, etc. (all provided in the box — a generous amount!). (Personally added onions, green, and red peppers.)
Dice the green and red peppers, cut mushrooms into small cubes (add a pinch of salt for seasoning).
Cut bacon into small pieces, slice black olives into rings, unwrap sausage and dried cherry tomatoes from their packages.
Shred all three types of cheese.
Mix the three types of cheese together.
Evenly spread tomato sauce on the dough base.
First sprinkle one-quarter of the cheese mixture.
Add the sausage pieces.
Sprinkle three-quarters of the remaining cheese.
Garnish with a small amount of vegetable cubes and mushroom slices.
Add the bacon pieces.
Add cherry tomatoes and olive rings.
Leave a 2 cm margin without toppings around the edge and brush olive oil on the edges.
Preheat the oven to 180-200°C (356-392°F). Grease the baking tray with salad oil.
Bake for 7-8 minutes until the crust edges turn golden and the cheese melts into a creamy texture. (Adjust depending on temperature deviations in home ovens, which can vary up to 40°C.) For microwaves, place the pizza on a paper base and heat at high power (1000W) for 2.5 minutes. Add another 30 seconds if needed, but avoid overheating. Melted cheese indicates the pizza is ready to cut and serve. Use a dry knife blade for cutting.
