About this recipe
Pizza Diavola Thermomix TM7 brings the bold flavours of an Italian pizzeria straight into your kitchen. If you have been searching for easy pizza recipes with spicy salami and mozzarella, this all-in-one kitchen machine version delivers a quick weeknight dinner with genuine character. The magic lies in the dough: strong bread flour, water, instant yeast and extra virgin olive oil are kneaded into a supple, elastic base without any heavy work by hand. The TM7 kneading function, highlighted in the manual, guarantees consistent dough every time so even beginners get a crispy yet airy crust. Topped with creamy mozzarella and slices of peppery spicy salami, finished with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of sea salt, this pizza is ideal for casual Friday dinners, movie nights or weekend gatherings with friends who love a bit of heat.
Preparation tips
- Let the kneaded pizza dough rest in a warm spot until it visibly doubles in size; this makes the base lighter and much easier to stretch into a thin, even round without tearing near the edges.
- Pat the mozzarella dry before slicing so the Pizza Diavola does not turn soggy during baking; distributing the spicy salami evenly ensures every slice carries the same peppery punch.
- For a milder family version, swap half of the spicy salami for mild ham and add a touch of honey on top; children love the sweet-spicy balance while adults keep the authentic Diavola character.
- Drain and dice tinned tomatoes, then season with sea salt and olive oil before spreading; a thin, even layer prevents the pizza base from becoming soggy under the mozzarella.
Recipe variations
- Lactose-free Pizza Diavola: replace the mozzarella with a plant-based melting cheese and keep the spicy salami (check the label for lactose-free). The crust already contains no dairy apart from the topping, so this swap is simple and delicious.
- Festive Diavola bianca: skip the tomato base and brush the dough with olive oil and garlic, add mozzarella, spicy salami and fresh rocket after baking with a drizzle of honey for a Christmas or party version that guests will remember.

Thermomix TM7 Benefits
- Weigh the bread flour and water directly in the mixing bowl, because the TM7 scale measures every pizza ingredient to the gram for a consistently balanced dough. [Built-in Scale]
- The TM7 kneads the bread flour dough into a smooth, elastic ball far quicker than kneading by hand, saving you ten minutes of effort. [Time Savings]
- Grinding the sea salt finely in the Thermomix ensures it dissolves evenly throughout the pizza dough for well-seasoned crust every time. [Time Savings]
- Heating the water and sugar gently in the Thermomix activates the instant yeast reliably, giving the Diavola base a light and airy rise. [Multi-Function]
- Mixing the olive oil into the dough at the right moment, the TM7 blends it uniformly so the crust bakes up crisp and golden. [Multi-Function]
