Wood-Fired Style Meat Pizza with Beef or Lamb
"Bring the hearth of a rustic Italian pizzeria into your kitchen with this charred, savory masterpiece featuring tender shaved meats and vibrant Mediterranean aromatics."
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F), allowing it to fully heat so the crust bakes evenly and develops good texture.
Lightly grease a baking sheet. Roll the pizza dough into a thin, even round and transfer it to the prepared sheet.
Spread an even layer of tomato sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edge for the crust.
Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella over the sauce, then place a few fresh basil leaves on top for aroma.
Arrange the thinly sliced beef or lamb evenly over the pizza, followed by the red onion slices and bell peppers.
Season lightly with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano to enhance the flavor of the meat and vegetables.
Scatter the remaining mozzarella over the toppings and drizzle lightly with olive oil.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the crust is fully cooked and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
Remove from the oven, garnish with additional fresh basil if desired, slice, and serve immediately while hot.
