Salami and Red Pepper Pizzas
Serves 4
1 pound beer bread dough (or other pizza dough)
1/2 cup crushed tomatoes
1 Tbs dried oregano
6 ounces fresh mozzarella, shredded
1 red chili pepper, thinly sliced
12 slices hard salami
Place dough in a greased bowl and cover with a towel. Allow to rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 400. Divide dough into 4 pieces. Gently work each piece of dough into a round, flat disk, approximately 6-inches in diameter. Mix together the crushed tomatoes and oregano and spread onto each piece of dough, leaving a half-inch border around the edge. Divide the cheese among the pizzas and sprinkle with the red peppers. Top with salami.
Bake at 400 for 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted, salami is crisp and crust is cooked through.

This looks great, will definately be giving it a try.
Pizza Express have just launched an interesting take on a low cal pizza, which is relevant to what you spoke about in terms of portion control.
Think I might attempt a combo of the two and see what I come out with.
I reviewed the Pizza Express Leggera on my blog yesterday. Have a look if you get chance.

I’m totally the opposite with pizzas. I always think that a personal pie isn’t enough, and totally need a bigger pie to feel satisfied. But then again, the important thing is knowing what works individually. With personal pies, I just think “Oh, I only ate one…” hee hee.
Oh man – now I need to make pizza at home again!

We were just talking about making pizza tonight! Top Foods sells pizza dough, making it really easy to add your own toppings. Love your sauce suggestion, and I agree with your mini pizzas for automatic portion control!
Happy New Year!

Salami on pizza…I’m almost ashamed that I’ve never thought of that before! but that’s why I have you in my life, Lauren 😛
My parents have always used Red Pack for all of their tomato needs so I can attest to its excellence!
