There’s not really a sauce on this pizza but there is plenty of flavor from the olive mixture that gets spread on the dough. It includes olive oil, red wine vinegar, and garlic.

What Is A Muffaletta Made Of?

A Muffaletta is a famous New Orleans Sandwich made on a round loaf of Italian bread. It contains various meats and cheeses usually including ham, mortadella, salami, and provolone.

Olive Salad

The signature part of a muffaletta is the olive salad and it is what makes this muffaletta pizza recipe outstanding. You’ll spread some of it directly on the pizza dough and then add some more as a topping. If possible, make the olive salad a day in advance so the flavors have time to marry.

Pizza Dough

You will need about 1 pound of fresh pizza dough for this recipe. Either make some yourself or buy some at the grocery store. Most grocery stores have started carrying pizza dough. You can usually find it in a refrigerator in the deli section.

Kitchen Tools I Use

Pizza Stone– a pizza stone helps get a really crispy crust.
Pizza Paddle– a Pizza Paddle is very helpful for transferring the pizza to the pizza stone.
Rolling Pin– you can stretch the pizza dough out by hand or use arolling pin.
Pizza cutter– I love this Stainless Steel KitchenAid Pizza Cutter. It is wonderfully sturdy.
