Preparation time: 10 minutes
Baking time: 15 minutes
Total time: 25 minutes
Number of servings: 4
Necessary ingredients:
- 1 store-bought pizza base (we recommend Timko, available in Tg. Mureș)
- 2-3 tablespoons of tomato sauce
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
- 100 g salami (preferably a quality salami)
- 50 g raw pumpkin seeds
Recipe history:
Pizza, an iconic dish in world cuisine, has evolved over the centuries, with deep roots in the culinary traditions of various cultures. From simple flatbreads baked on hot stones to the modern version we know today, pizza has become a symbol of conviviality. Over time, each region has contributed its own ingredients and styles, and the combination of salami and pumpkin seeds is an innovation that adds texture and nutrition.
Step-by-step preparation:
1. Preheat the oven: Start by preheating the oven to 200°C. It's essential to have a well-heated oven to achieve a crispy crust, so don’t skip this step.
2. Season the tomato sauce: In a small bowl, add 2-3 tablespoons of tomato sauce. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and oregano, then mix well. This flavorful sauce will give your pizza a special taste.
3. Prepare the base: Place the pizza base on a baking tray (if needed, you can use parchment paper to prevent sticking). Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the entire surface of the base, leaving a little space at the edges to form the crust.
4. Slice the salami: Remove the salami from its packaging and slice it into not-too-thick pieces. They will melt and blend perfectly with the other ingredients.
5. Add salami and seeds: Arrange the slices of salami evenly over the tomato sauce. Once you’re done with the salami, sprinkle the raw pumpkin seeds on top. These will not only provide a crunchy texture but are also an excellent source of protein and healthy fats.
6. Bake the pizza: Place the tray in the preheated oven and let the pizza bake for about 15 minutes. Check occasionally, as baking times may vary depending on the oven. If you like crispier edges, you can leave the pizza in the oven for a few extra minutes.
7. Serve and enjoy: Once the pizza is ready, take it out of the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Cut it into slices and serve warm. The rich taste of salami combined with crunchy pumpkin seeds will delight everyone.
Useful tips:
- If you want to try a lighter version, you can use a whole grain pizza base or skip the salami and use only pumpkin seeds and oregano for an easy vegetarian option.
- You can experiment with other types of salami, such as spicy salami or even ham, depending on your preferences.
- If you like to add vegetables, you can include slices of bell pepper or onion for an extra splash of color and nutrients.
