Steps

🍕 Happy National Pizza Week, friends! 🎉 There’s no better way to kick things off than with my all-time favorite: a classic cheese pizza. This recipe is perfect for beginners, and trust me, you’ll be slinging pies like a pro in no time—especially if you’ve got a Gozney pizza oven to help you learn. My husband and I have made this one a tradition, and let’s just say... we’re guilty of piling on a criminal amount of cheese every single time (because honestly, is there ever such a thing as too much cheese?). So grab your apron, let’s roll up our sleeves, and celebrate the start of pizza week with the ultimate cheesy, crispy creation! 🧀🍅🔥

1. Add the yeast to the water and quick mix to combine. PRO TIP: You can mix by hand but for better results, use a mixer! 

2. Add the flours and mix to combine for 5-7 minutes. Scrape down the mixer as you go. Rest for 5 minutes.

3. Turn the mixer onto high and slowly add the 30ml of water. 

4. Next add the salt and sugar and mix for a further 5-7 minutes.

5. Place the dough into an oiled bowl, cover and place in the fridge for an hour. 

6. Ball the dough and place in the fridge for 24-48 hours.

7. Open up the dough and top with a tomato base, fresh mozzarella, parmesan, olive oil and basil.

8. Bake in your Gozney Dome or Roccbox at a temperature of 450°F, air temp of 750°F - on a low flame until golden brown. 

Enjoy and remember, you got this!
