Portuguese Chorizo Pizza Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees F. Pull apart and gently stretch pizza dough into 6 inch rounds. (Making 2 pizzas.)
• 2. Put each 6 inch round of pizza dough on a separate greased baking sheet or pizza stone. Pat each out to a 10 to 12 inch round, about 1/8 inch thick.
• 3. Spread 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce on top of each round, leaving about a 1 inch border. Arrange the chorizo on top of the sauce and top with a thin layer of the cheese.
• 4. Bake the pizzas until they are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly - approx. 20 minutes., switching the pans from top to bottom after about 10 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
