Ingredients
Instructions
After a 3-hour final proof, gently press out the dough with your fingertips, leaving the edges untouched to maintain a puffy crust. Place the dough on the back of your knuckles and rotate it with a gentle pull, letting gravity stretch it evenly. Let the dough rest at room temperature (72°F) for 3 hours to ensure the glutens are relaxed.
Preheat your Baking Steel Original in the oven at 550°F for at least an hour. This ensures the perfect heat for a crispy crust.
Spread a thin layer of Bianco DiNapoli organic tomatoes over the dough. Spread it with the back of a spoon.
Distribute the shredded low-moisture mozzarella evenly over the crust. Add the pepperoni slices, spacing them out for even coverage and charred edges. Fit as many as you can on top.
Launch your pizza onto the scorching hot Baking Steel Original and bake for 5-7 minutes. After 3-4 minutes open the oven and rotate 180 degrees.
Remove your pizza from the oven and admire the bubbling cheese and charred pepperoni. Give the cheese a minute to cool to allow the cheese to set. Slice it up and enjoy!
