How to Make Neffy's Spicy Italian Pizza

  1. **Make the Dough:** In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F) and 1 teaspoon sugar. Sprinkle 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast over the water and let stand for 10 minutes until foamy.
  2. **Activate Yeast:** Add 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons olive oil to the yeast mixture. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. **Knead the Dough:** Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. **First Rise:** Lightly oil a large bowl. Place the dough in the bowl, turn to coat, and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place for 60 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  5. **Prepare for Two Pizzas:** Punch down the dough and divide it in half.
  6. **Shape the Crust:** On a lightly floured surface, shape each dough half into a 12-inch circle or your desired pizza shape.
  7. **Pizza Sauce:** Spread ½ cup pizza sauce evenly over each crust.
  8. **Layer the Meats and Veggies:** Top each pizza with 4 slices of salami, 4 slices of pepperoni, ½ cup sliced onions, and ½ cup sliced mushrooms.
  9. **Cheese and Spice:** Sprinkle 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese over the toppings. Evenly distribute 4 ounces raw Italian sausage and 2 jalapeños, thinly sliced, over the cheese.
  10. **More Cheese:** Top with the remaining ½ cup of mozzarella cheese.
  11. **Olive Oil Finish:** Brush the edges of each crust lightly with olive oil.
  12. **Preheat & Bake:** Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place pizzas on baking sheets or pizza stones in the middle rack.
  13. **Bake to Perfection:** Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Check frequently to prevent burning.
  14. **Cool and Serve:** Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
