Pizza Ingredients

  • 1 pre-made pizza crust Either use a pre-made dough or refer to one of our dough recipes such as our Rye Pizza dough: https://satisfyingslice.com/rye-pizza-dough/
  • 2 tbsp olive oil divided
  • 5 ounces rib eye steak thinly sliced
  • ½ Green bell pepper sliced
  • ¼ Onion sliced
  • ¼ cup Mushrooms thinly sliced or diced
  • 2 pinchs salt to taste
  • 2 pinchs ground black pepper to taste
  • ½ cup Cheez Whiz (best at room temperature)
  • ¼ cup Provolone cheese grated

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to the temperature recommended for your dough.

    Prepare Your Ingredients.

    • Make sure all of your ingredients are ready before you stretch out your dough. Have the meat sliced, veggies sliced and dried, the cheese grated, etc.
    • The ingredient ratios in the recipe assume a pizza that's 12 inches in diameter. So adjust either your dough weight OR your ingredients, if necessary.

    Saute Your Toppings

    • Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a skillet at medium-high heat.
    • Add the onion, green pepper, and mushrooms plus a pinch of salt and pepper together in the skillet over medium-high heat, until onions begin to turn translucent – approximately 4 minutes.
    • Remove from the skillet.
    • Add the beef slices and probably a splash of olive oil to the skillet.
    • Season with salt and pepper, and saute for 3-4 minutes, until just starting to brown.
    • Remove from the heat.

    Prepare Your Dough

    • Stretch or roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface.
    • Place the dough on your peel or pizza pan.

    Parbake the Pizza

    • Because spreading the Cheez Whiz can tear your dough, this pizza benefits from parbaking it - which means partially cooking it.
    • Depending on your pizza recipe and cooking temperature, the length of time for parbaking will vary.
    • I recommend parbaking for 1/3 of the total cooking time. So if your dough recipe says 18 minutes, parbake for 6, then take it out to top it. If it's a Neapolitan at 800+ degrees, you can parbake for about 30 seconds.

    Top Your Pizza

    • Remove the pizza from the oven and put on a heat-resistant surface.
    • Spread a thin, even layer of the room temperature Cheez Whiz over the dough, leaving about 1 inch of crust uncovered.
    • Distribute the sliced beef and sauted vegetables evenly across the pizza.
    • Top it off with the grated Provolone cheese for that irresistible melty finish.

    Finish the Bake

    • Transfer the topped pizza back to the oven.
    • Continue to bake for the remaining 2/3 of the time (per the dough recipe), and until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly on top, and the crust underneath is browned and firm.
    • Allow the pizza to rest on a cutting board for 3 to 5 minutes.
    • Slice and serve immediately!

    Notes

    Parbaking: cook the dough for 1/3 of the total time without the toppings on it to make sure it's more resistant to the moisture from the dressing.
