Servings: 2 servings (1 pizza)
Calories: 157kcal
Equipment
- pizza stone or pizza oven
- Pizza Peel (optional)
Ingredients
- 1 (9.9 ounce) pizza dough
- flour for dusting
- ⅛ cup 'Nduja sausage
- 2.5 ounces low moisture mozzarella cheese
- honey for garnish
Instructions
- Remove the pizza dough from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature. Arrange the oven rack to the center of the oven. Place a pizza stone on the rack, then heat oven to 450°F (230°C). Allow the oven and pizza stone to preheat for at least 30 minutes. Alternatively, heat a pizza oven to 810°F (432°C).
- Lightly flour a clean work surface. Grab pizza dough and cover both sides in flour. Flatten dough ball slightly with your hands, then use your fingers to make an indent for the crust. Once the dough is circular, use the outer palm of your hand to continue stretching the dough until it reaches a 13 inch (33 cm) circle with even thickness. To help stretch the dough, hang it on your knuckles and allow gravity to pull it downwards.
- Ensure that there is sufficient flour underneath the pizza dough, then build the pizza directly on a pizza peel or the hot pizza stone dusted with cornmeal.
- Place small pieces of 'Nduja sausage around the pizza followed by mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for 10 - 14 minutes until the crust is golden brown. If you are using a pizza oven, bake for 60 - 90 seconds, rotating as needed, until the crust is golden brown and the bottom of the dough is fully cooked. Once the pizza comes out of the oven, garnish with honey.
Notes
Don't use fresh mozzarella. There's too much water in the cheese and it will cause water to pool on the pizza crust.
Can't find 'Nduja sausage? Try shopping at a local Italian market or specialty store.
Always make sure the pizza crust has come to room temperature before stretching.
