Instructions

1
Prepare sauce — crush tomatoes with salt.
2
Stretch dough, add sauce and torn mozzarella.
3
Distribute salami slices evenly — they'll cup up in the oven.
4
Bake at 900-950°F for 60-90 seconds.
5
Finish with honey drizzle and optional chili paste.

Tips

→Thin-sliced salami cups better than thick slices
→The honey drizzle is non-negotiable — sweet + spicy + salty is perfection
→Natural-casing pepperoni cups more reliably
