| 1 lb. Pizza Dough 2 cloves Garlic, minced 1 link Portuguese Chorizo, approx. 1/2 lb. 8 oz. Shredded Mozzarella Cheese 3 tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided Optional, finely diced peppers/onion, your choice.. | |
| Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Remove the casing from the chorizo; then into bite sized pieces. Add a little oil to a skillet and cook the chorizo 3-5 minutes so that it's lightly browned. (Note you can add some jalapeno/bell or other pepper an onion finely diced while browning the chorizo) Next, add the garlic and saute for another minute; then drain the mixture on paper towels to remove any excess oil. Stretch out the dough until you can get it as close to a rectangle as you can. Next, sprinkle the chorizo mixture on top of the dough, then add the cheese. Roll the dough towards you so you form a longer log. Place on a baking sheet that has been greased with oil seam side down; then pinch the ends together so nothing oozes out. Finally, brush a little oil on top of the bread; then bake for 15-20 minutes until the top is lightly browned and the cheese is melting. Remove from the oven and slice into 14 slices. | |
| To help spread the dough, I add a bit of EVOO to a large cutting board. If the dough is room temperature, it will spread a bit easier. You want the dough to be about 1/4-inch thick. If you can see through it, it's too thin. | |
