Ingredients

600 g water
1000 g 00 pizza flour
30 g salt
2 g fresh yeast or 1 g instant dry yeast
Good quality tomatoes, as needed
Mozzarella, as needed
Parmigiano-Reggiano, as needed
Pepperoni, as desired
Jalapeño (fresh or pickled), as desired

Instructions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, pour in the water and dissolve the yeast. Add half of the flour (500 g) and mix by hand for about 30 seconds until combined.

Step 2

Add the remaining flour and mix for another 30 seconds, then add the salt and mix again for 30 seconds to fully incorporate.

Step 3

Transfer the dough to your work surface and knead by hand for 10 minutes. Cover with a tea towel and rest for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Shape the dough into a smooth ball by dragging it across the counter to create surface tension. Cover and rest for 45 minutes.

Step 5

Portion the dough into 250 g balls using a dough cutter. Place them in lightly oiled containers or trays, cover, and proof for 8 hours at room temperature.

Step 6

Preheat your Gozney Roccbox or Dome to 850°F (454°C). Open a dough ball, top lightly with tomatoes, mozzarella, pepperoni, and sliced jalapeños, then transfer to a floured peel. Bake for about 90 seconds total, turning every 20–30 seconds until evenly cooked. Remove, slice, and serve.
