Ingredients
For the Crust:

- 1 cup warm water
- 2½ cups bread flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
Toppings:
- 1 pound flank steak, sliced into thin strips
- 2 green bell peppers, thinly sliced
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 7 slices provolone cheese
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon oil
Sauce:
- Oil/drippings from meat/veggies
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
- ¼ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon Slap Ya Mama® seasoning
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
In a bowl, combine 1 cup warm water, 1 tsp sugar, and 1 package yeast. Let sit for 10 minutes until foamy.
Add 2½ cups bread flour, 2 tbsp olive oil, and 1 tsp salt. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
Shape and Pre-Bake the Crust
Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C).
On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle.
Place on a lightly oiled pizza pan.
Brush dough with olive oil and poke holes with a fork.
Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and set aside.
Cook the Toppings
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat.
Add steak strips, onions, and bell peppers. Cook until steak is browned and vegetables are soft, about 5–7 minutes.
Remove steak and vegetables, reserving drippings in the pan.
Make the Sauce
In the same pan with drippings, add 1 cup heavy cream and ½ cup milk. Bring to a boil.
Reduce to medium heat, stir in ½ cup Parmesan and ¼ cup mozzarella until melted.
Add ½ tsp garlic salt, ½ tsp pepper, and ½ tsp Slap Ya Mama® seasoning. Simmer for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
Assemble the Pizza
Spread prepared sauce evenly over the pre-baked crust, leaving a 1-inch border.
Lay down 7 slices of provolone cheese.
Top with the cooked steak, peppers, and onions.
Sprinkle with 1 cup shredded mozzarella.
Bake and Serve
Bake pizza for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
Remove from oven, slice, and serve hot.
Notes
Resting the dough is crucial—don’t skip the rise time.
Use a pizza stone for a crispier base.
If you don’t have Slap Ya Mama® seasoning, substitute with Cajun seasoning.
