Ingredients

1 pizza dough (16 oz / 454 g)1 cup (8 fl oz / 240 ml) of tomato sauce1/2 pound (8 oz / 227 g) of smoked chouriço sausage, thinly sliced8 ounces (227 g) of grated mozzarellaHot banana pepper rings (to taste)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 260°C or 500°F.
Lightly grease two baking sheets.
Separate the dough into 2 balls, pull, stretch or use a roller to stretch each pizza dough into a 6-inch round.
Put each piece on a greased baking sheet, then roll out a bit more to a 10- to 12-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick.
Spread 1/2 cup (4 fl oz / 120 ml) of the tomato sauce on each round, leaving a 1-inch border.
Arrange the cheese on top of the sauce and add half of the chouriço on top of each pizza and then hot banana pepper rings to taste.
Bake until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly, about 20 minutes, switching the pans from top to bottom after 10 minutes.
Serve immediately.
