Spicy BBQ Diavola Pizza

A meeting of two worlds: Italian Diavola (spicy salami) pizza placed on an American BBQ base instead of Neapolitan tomato. The result is a wild, smoky, spicy, and sweet flavor bomb, where the chili's heat is tempered by the sauce's sweetness.

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to max. Stretch the dough by hand.

Tip: Don't use a rolling pin, or you'll push the air out and the crust won't be airy.
2

Spread with BBQ sauce.

Tip: Use less sauce than you think so the dough doesn't get soggy.
3

Tear mozzarella on top, distribute salami and chili.

Tip: Cheese should bake onto the sauce, and salami should crisp up on top of the cheese.
4

Bake on the hottest rack (usually bottom) for 10-15 minutes.

Tip: It's done when the crust is spotted (leopard spots) and the cheese is bubbling.
