Your new favorite pizza hack? The Pepperoni Sombrero! Tear, fold and pop your way from flat to fantastic salami slices. Shaping each slice into a mini, meaty hat means keeping all that delicious, spicy oil in one spot and added texture for the flames in your Ooni to ripple across.
Step 1. Tear
Step 2. Fold
Next, where the tear was made, pull the two tips of the slice together and lay them on top of one another, so that the slice is slightly folded and forms a cone shape. The two ends will naturally stick together, as your hands will warm up the fat in the pepperoni a little bit and help them to adhere to each other.
Step 3. Pop
Once you place these on a pizza, they’ll sit flat and hold any melted oil that melts out of the pepperoni inside the curved ‘brim’ of the hat. Plus, creating a wave in the slice by folding it up means some parts of each pepperoni slice will crisp up in the oven faster than others – all of that makes for perfectly crunchy little mouthfuls of spicy-oil-laden pepperoni.
There’s one final step – fire up your Ooni pizza oven and get cooking a delicious sombrero-topped pizza.
