CRUNCHY SALAMI and Cheese, a stuffed and flattened rustic pizza, easy and quick without yeast, an idea for a dinner you can make in 5 minutes with a simple dough.
This crunchy salami and cheese came about like this: I open the fridge, see some salami, a piece of cheese, and have no desire to wait for dough rising. The result is a flattened rustic pizza, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, perfect as a quick dinner, but also as an appetizer or aperitif cut into wedges.
It’s a yeast-free recipe: quick dough, filling with salami and melting cheese, hot oven and go. The homemade crunchy is ideal when you want something tasty but simple, with ingredients you already have, like cured meats, cheeses, and flour. Also great as a quick pizza in a pan or in a ventilated oven.

Useful tips
If you want an even crunchier, roll it thin and cook it on an already hot tray.
For a melting filling, choose cheeses that melt well, like provola, scamorza, or dry mozzarella.
The salami can be sweet or spicy, depending on how flavorful you want it.
It also keeps well the next day and is great reheated.
