1.  Preheat oven to 500 degrees. If using a pizza stone for baking, preheat your stone on the bottom rack of your oven for at least 1 hour prior to baking your pizza.

2.  Roll out and shape the pizza dough to your desired shape and thickness. The thinner the dough, the crispier the pizza crust. For this recipe, a medium to thick crust is recommended. If using a pizza peel, place semolina flour or a bit of cornmeal on your peel and then place the pizza dough on the peel. If baking the pizza in a pan, make sure the pan is non-stick. Otherwise, line your pan with parchment paper to prevent the pizza sticking to the pan.

3.  Using a fork, make holes throughout the dough so that it doesn’t develop bubbles while cooking.

 

 

 

4.  Once your oven or pizza stone is heated, place the dough in the oven to precook for 4 - 6 minutes, until it just begins to brown.

5.  Remove immediately from the oven and top with the tomato sauce, the mozzarella, the diced cutlets, chopped tomato, and the sliced onion. Cook for another 8 - 10 minutes or until the crust is a golden brown.

6.  Remove the pizza from the oven immediately and let cool for approximately 3 - 5 minutes. Slice and serve.
