Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Base
- 1 ball pizza dough
- 1 tsp olive oil
Toppings
- 4 chorizo sausage links, diced (see notes for alternate options)
- 1/2 cup red onion, sliced
- 1/4 cup poblano pepper, diced
- 3/4 cup mango, diced
- 1 ball burrata cheese
- 1/4 cup goat cheese
Garnish
- Microgreens (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking; then set aside.
- Prepare Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness, then transfer it carefully onto the lined baking sheet.
- Cook Chorizo: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chorizo and cook for about 8 minutes until crispy and browned. Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked chorizo, leaving excess oil behind, and evenly distribute the chorizo pieces over the pizza dough.
- Add Vegetables and Mango: Layer the sliced red onion, diced poblano pepper, and diced mango evenly on top of the chorizo to build vibrant flavor and texture.
- Bake Pizza: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the pizza for 10 minutes, allowing the toppings to cook through and the crust to start turning golden.
- Add Cheeses and Finish Baking: Remove the pizza from the oven, then dollop burrata cheese and sprinkle goat cheese over the top. Return the pizza to the oven for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the cheeses have melted beautifully and the crust is golden and crisp.
- Garnish and Serve: Once baked, sprinkle fresh microgreens on top to add a burst of freshness and color. Slice the pizza and serve immediately for the best flavor experience.
Notes
- For a milder option, substitute chorizo with cooked Italian sausage or turkey sausage.
- Ensure the mango is ripe but firm for the best texture that holds up in the oven.
- If burrata is unavailable, fresh mozzarella can be used as a substitute.
- To make the crust crispier, you can pre-bake the rolled-out dough for 5 minutes before adding toppings.
- Microgreens are optional but add a lovely fresh bite and visual appeal.
