Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 475°F. Drizzle a sheet pan with olive oil and stretch dough into a thin, even rectangle, roughly 1/4-inch thick.

  2. Step 2

    Spread tomato sauce evenly over dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border for the crust.

  3. Step 3

    Scatter minced garlic and half the red pepper flakes over sauce, then top with shredded mozzarella.

  4. Step 4

    Arrange salami slices in overlapping layers across the cheese, then sprinkle remaining pepper flakes on top.

  5. Step 5

    Bake for 10–12 minutes until crust edges are golden and cheese bubbles at the center.

  6. Step 6

    Remove from oven, scatter fresh basil over top, and serve immediately with a drizzle of olive oil.
