Il Diavolo Pizza Recipes

Steps:

• For the focaccia bread: Mix the flour, olive oil, salt, yeast and 2 to 3 cups water in a mixer; let it rest in the bowl for about 2 hours.
• Mix the dough again for a few seconds, divide into 2 portions and roll each out in a sheet pan on parchment paper. Let it rest for another 30 minutes.
• Preheat a convection oven to 356 degrees F.
• Drizzle a mix of 1 ounce of water and 1 ounce of olive oil on each dough and bake until cooked through and golden, about 18 minutes.
• For the spicy sauce: Chop the peppers and the onion in large pieces. In a blender, mix the chopped peppers with seeds, onion, minced garlic, tomato paste, olive oil, and vinegar until a paste is formed. Add the oregano and salt. Cook it in a saucepan on medium heat until the flavors combine, about 10 minutes.
• For the meats/cheese: After the bread has cooled, cut in 6 equal squares. Slice each square in half. Spread about 2 ounces of the spicy sauce on each bottom slice of bread. Add the spicy soppressata, spicy coppa, fresh mozzarella and pepper salami. Add the top slice of bread to each and grill in a panini press for about 5 minutes. Cut the sandwiches in 4 pieces, drizzle with spicy olive oil and sprinkle with Secret Spices.
• Mix the dried lemon peel, paprika, rosemary, garlic and onion in a small bowl.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees with rack in lower third. Drizzle a 12-inch (measured from top) skillet (preferably cast iron) with oil. Wipe with a paper towel to evenly coat and remove excess. Turn dough out into skillet (do not punch down). Starting in center and using both hands, press down and stretch dough outward with your fingertips to edges of skillet, leaving a 1/2-inch border of undisturbed dough. Cover skillet with plastic wrap and let stand until dough puffs slightly, about 20 minutes.
• Lightly drizzle dough with oil; season with salt and pepper. Spread sauce evenly to border and sprinkle with mozzarella. Top evenly with feta, sausage, olives, chile, and oregano.
• Bake until crust is golden brown, mozzarella is melted and bubbly, and sausage is just cooked through, 20 to 22 minutes. Let cool in skillet 5 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve.
