Slide the pizza (on its baking paper) onto the preheated tray and bake at 250°C for 8 to 10 min until the crust is golden, the cheese is bubbly and the salami edges are starting to crisp.
Notes & Tips
Tear, don't grate
Pre-grated mozzarella has anti-caking powder that stops it melting properly. Buy a block and tear it.
Less cheese than you think
Beginners pile cheese on like it's a schoolboy toastie. 120 g for a 28 cm pizza is plenty.
