Ingredients
Scale
Meats and Proteins:
- 1 pound flank steak, sliced into thin strips
Cheeses:
- 7 slices provolone cheese
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
Crust and Sauce Ingredients:
- 1 package active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 1/2 cups bread flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Slap Ya Mama
Vegetables:
- 2 green bell peppers, thinly sliced
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- Oil/drippings from meat/vegetables
Instructions
- Activate the yeast by mixing it with sugar in warm water (110°F), allowing it to become frothy for 5 minutes. Incorporate flour, olive oil, and salt to form a smooth dough, kneading thoroughly for 6-7 minutes until elastic.
- Let the dough rise in a covered bowl for approximately 1 hour until doubled in volume.
- Sear the flank steak in a hot skillet over medium-high heat until nicely browned, creating a caramelized exterior. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté green bell peppers and onions until they become translucent and slightly softened.
- Create a creamy sauce using the skillet’s drippings, blending heavy cream, milk, parmesan, mozzarella, garlic salt, black pepper, and Slap Ya Mama seasoning. Simmer until the mixture thickens and develops a rich consistency.
- Preheat the oven to 475°F, ensuring it reaches the full temperature before baking.
- Roll the dough into a desired shape, maintaining an even thickness.
- Spread the prepared sauce across the pizza crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Layer the cooked steak, sautéed peppers, and onions evenly over the sauce.
- Distribute provolone slices and sprinkle shredded mozzarella across the pizza.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, watching for a golden-brown crust and melted, bubbling cheese.
- Remove from oven, let rest for 2-3 minutes, then slice and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Customize the dough thickness based on personal preference, from thin and crispy to thick and chewy.
- Replace flank steak with other meats like chicken or plant-based alternatives for dietary restrictions.
- Use a pizza stone or preheated baking sheet to achieve a crispier crust with better heat distribution.
- Control sauce consistency by adjusting cream and milk quantities for a richer or lighter texture.
