Homemade Cheese Pizza

The Original Cold Smoked Salt and Pepper Co.

One of the most common questions we are asked is simply this: How do we use smoked salt and peppercorn? It’s always interesting how adding the singular word “smoked” before salt or pepper can cause apprehension when it comes to cooking. But don’t let this word leave you perplexed. Rather, allow it to bring a new dimension of flavor and creativity to your home cooking. 

One of the most asked-for meals in our family is Homemade Pizza. It usually finds its way to our table on a Sunday night after a busy weekend. The ingredients are simple and already prepared. You just have to put it together, but the flavor twist is using our Maple Smoked Lime Peppercorn and Whisky Smoked Sea Salt to add an amazing finish to a traditional pizza. 

Ingredients: 

1. Pre-made Pizza Dough 
2. Pizza sauce 
3. Mozzarella Shredded Cheese 
4. Oregano 
5. Maple Smoked Lime Peppercorn
6. The Original Cold Smoked Whisky Smoked Sea Salt
7. Feel free to add any toppings that your family requests.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Roll out pizza dough on a greased cookie sheet. Once pizza dough is rolled out to the edges on the cookie sheet, sprinkle the Maple Smoked Lime Peppercorn and Whisky Smoked Sea Salt over the dough. Place in the oven for 8 minutes until dough has risen. Do not leave it in past 8 minutes or dough will harden and could possibly burn. Remove the crust from the oven, spread the pizza sauce, then add shredded mozzarella cheese, oregano and any other toppings you prefer. Next, sprinkle a dash of the Maple Smoked Lime Peppercorn on top or to desired taste. Place back in oven for another 8 minutes or until crust is lightly browned and cheese is fully melted. Remove and let set for a few minutes to cool. Lastly, slice and serve. Enjoy!
