Ingredients
Pizza Dough
- 1 cup warm water
- 2¼ teaspoon active dry yeast
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon sugar
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 2½ cups flour
Pizza Sauce
- 1 (398ml) can pizza sauce
- ⅓ cup banana ketchup
Toppings
- ¼ cup onion thinly sliced
- ¼ cup bell peppers thinly sliced
- 1 cup longanisa
- 1 cup mozzarela cheese
- chili flakes optional
- 1 teaspoon olive oil for rubbing
Instructions
- Place the warm water in the large bowl of a heavy duty stand mixer. Sprinkle the yeast over the warm water and let it sit for 10 minutes until the yeast is dissolved.
- Add the flour, salt, sugar, and olive oil, and using the 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. If it's too wet, sprinkle in a little more flour.
- Transfer the dough into a lightly greased bowl. Turn to coat and cover for about 2-3 hours, or until it double the size. For a quick rise, place the dough in a warm place (75°F to 85°F) for 1 ½ hours.
- While waiting for the dough to rise, prep sauce and toppings. Combine canned pizza sauce and banana ketchup. Thinly sliced onion and bell pepper. Set aside.
- After the dough has risen, grease a 10x15 inch dark non-stick pan with a little bit of olive oil. Preheat your oven to 450 F. Take the dough, and using its own weight, allow it to form a rough rectangle as you lift it. Lower it on the baking pan and pat and press it to occupy the space of the pan.
- Add olive oil and rub it over the dough. Add in pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, bell peppers, onion and longganisa.
- 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.
Notes
- For leftover pizza sauce you can store in the fridge and can also be use for pasta.
