Linguica Pizza Recipe
Make your pizza dough recipe.
While it is proofing, slice your onions, pepper and Linguica.
Heat your skillet, and saute' your sliced onions and chili pepper.
I threw in a couple of pieces of Linguica to add extra flavor.
The beauty of using a cast iron skillet to make a pizza, is it is almost foolproof. Once you make your dough, you just press it in place and fill it up!
Press in with your finger tips until the dough covers the bottom of skillet and a little ways up the sides.
Use 1/4 of the pizza dough recipe for a thin crust.
Layer all of your ingredients onto the pizza dough.
I went with: sauce, onions, mushrooms, green onions, cheddar cheese, Linguica.
Heat your Camp Chef Pizza oven or grill to 450°F and place your skillet directly in the center to bake.
Time will vary depending on how thick your pizza dough and ingredients are.
(Mine cooked for 20 minutes total)
Just before the pizza is done, add some Mozzarella cheese to the top.
Next time I am going to double the amount of Linguica 🙂
