A classic favourite, our take on the American Hot combines sizzling chorizo slices in the place of pepperoni, red chilli for extra heat and a glaze of honey for sticky sweetness. With ready-made pizza dough, all you need to do is roll out, layer with toppings and bake for a pizza night at home.

Cooking Instructions and Tips

Start the Prep
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Remove the dough from the fridge and allow to come to room temperature. 

Pop the garlic (unpeeled) into a small piece of foil with a drizzle of oil and scrunch to enclose it. Roast the parcel until soft, 10-12 mins.

Drain the mozzarella and squeeze out as much liquid as you can. Pat dry with kitchen paper, then tear into small pieces.

Get Rolling
2

Halve, peel and thinly slice the red onion. Thinly slice the red chilli. Cut the tomato into 1cm chunks.

Halve the ball of dough. Sprinkle a little flour on a clean worktop, then roll each piece of dough into a thin circle, roughly the size of a dinner plate about 30cm wide and around ½cm thick.

Transfer to a large baking tray. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary. To get a crisp, well-cooked base, roll the dough out thinly. If the dough is too thick, it can end up too soft or doughy after baking. 

Top the Pizza
3

Spread the tomato passata over the pizza bases, leaving a 1cm border around the edge.

Top evenly with the mozzarella, chorizo slices, onion and red chilli (add less if you'd prefer things milder).

Time to Bake
4

When the oven is hot, slide the pizzas onto the top shelf and bake until the bases are golden and the cheese has melted and is bubbly, 15-18 mins. TIP: Oven temperatures may vary, so bake until the dough is cooked through and crispy. If you've used more than 1 tray, swap the trays around halfway through to ensure they cook evenly.

Finishing Touches
5

While your pizzas bake and once the garlic has cooled, cut the end with scissors, squeeze it out of the skin and mash with a fork.

In a small bowl, combine the mashed garlic with the mayonnaise (see pantry for amount). 

Once the pizzas are cooked, remove from the oven and drizzle over the honey (see pantry for amount).

Serve
6

When ready, transfer the pizzas to your serving plates.

Toss the rocket and the tomato together and serve alongside, drizzled with the balsamic glaze

Finish with the garlic mayo for dipping.
