1. 1Preheat oven to 400°F
2. 2Place water and yeast in a mixing bowl and let stand for 5-10 minutes or until frothy.
3. 3Add olive oil to the water yeast combo. Shift together salt, sugar and flour in a separate bowl. Using a dough hook attachment, add dry mixture to wet in cup increments until the dough comes together to form a slightly tacky ball.
4. 4Remove dough from mixer and lightly knead. Leave to rest covered by a clean tea towel for ten minutes. Divide dough in two and stretch one half to fit an 11-inch pizza pan.
5. 5Place other half in the fridge for another time or form into a second pizza.
6. 6Spread pizza sauce over the dough and sprinkle with chili pepper flakes and the red onion.
7. 7Sprinkle with cheese and arrange the salami so it is evenly distributed over the entire pizza. Top with remaining red onion, red pepper and basil leaves.
8. 8Place in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes rotating halfway through. When golden and bubbling, remove from the oven and let stand for ten minutes before slicing.
9. 9Serve with a sprinkling of fresh ground pepper and a nice cold beer.
