INGREDIENTS

• 1 package DeLallo Pizza Dough Kit
• 2 tablespoons DeLallo Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided
• 1 jar DeLallo Roasted Pepper Bruschetta
• 1 large russet potato, baked until tender then sliced in 1/4 inch rounds
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
• 1 stick DeLallo Hot Calabrese Dry Cured Sausage, thinly sliced
• 2 cups grated Asiago cheese
• 1 cup grated pecorino cheese
• 10 large basil leaves

DIRECTIONS

1. Make the pizza dough according to the package instructions. Let rest for 45 minutes.
2. Preheat your oven to 450° F.
3. Roll out the dough to a rough 14 inch circle.
4. Warm a large cast iron skillet over medium heat then add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the bottom of the pan. Carefully lay the pizza dough in the pan with the edges draping over the side of the pan.
5. Turn off the heat.
6. Cover the bottom of the pizza with the roasted red peppers. On top of that layer on the sliced potatoes then scatter the rosemary over that. Next add the salami.
7. Cover the pizza with cheese then tuck in the edges of the dough to form a crust in the pan. Drizzle the crust with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
8. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is deeply golden and the cheese is bubbly and bronzed in parts.
9. Scatter on the fresh basil to finish.
