With a thicker and sweeter dough, Cuban Pizza is cheesy and delectable. This traditional Cuban sandwich pizza recipe, also known as Pizza Cubana, is simple to make with only a few simple ingredients. It’s my go-to supper when I’m in the need for something warm and comforting.

  • 1 packet active dry yeast 2 ΒΌ teaspoons
  • 1 cup warm water 110-120Β°F

Notes

  • The dough can be made ahead of time. Allow it to rise first, then cover it in plastic wrap and store it in a freezer-safe bag. Thaw in the refrigerator before bringing to room temperature.
  • To reheat leftover pizza, bake it for 5 minutes, or until the crust is crispy.
