Ingredients Needed
Ingredient Notes
- flour: I am using all purpose flour.
- yeast: I used active dry yeast.
- oil: olive oil or vegetable oil works fine.
- sauce: I used pizza sauce and added some banana sauce for extra sweet.
- longganisa: i found them from superstore however you can also buy them at Asian or Filipino store.
- toppings: onion, bell pepper, and mozzarella cheese. Feel free to add more topping like jalapeño or olives.
Step-by-step Instructions
Step 1: Activate Yeast: Place the warm water in the large bowl of a heavy duty stand mixer. Add in yeast over the warm water. Let it sit for 10 minutes until the yeast is dissolved.
Step 2: Make the Dough: Add the flour, salt, sugar, and olive oil. Mix using the electric mixer. If you don't have a mixer, you can mix the ingredients together and knead them by hand. The dough should be a little sticky, or tacky to the touch. Add a little bit of flour if needed. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm, draft free environment until doubled in size, 2-3 hours.
Step 3: Pizza Sauce and Toppings: Combine canned pizza sauce and banana ketchup. Thinly sliced bell peppers and onion and cut longganisa into bite-sized. Set it aside.
Step 4: Assemble Pizza: Grease a 10x15 inch dark non-stick pan with a little bit of olive oil or add parchment paper. Preheat your oven to 400 F. Take the dough, and using its own weight, allow it to form a rough rectangle as you lift it. Add olive oil and rub it over the dough. Add in pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, bell peppers, onion and longganisa.
Step 5: Bake: Bake in a pre-heated 400 F oven for 10-15 minutes or until the edges of the crust is golden and the cheese has melted. Serve and sprinkle with chili flakes and cilantro.
