Steps
🍕✨ It’s National Pizza Week, and this homemade pizza is a total crowd-pleaser! Perfect for parties or cozy nights in, it’s all about crisp crusts, melty cheese, and endless topping fun (pepperoni + jalapeños, anyone? 🌶️🧀). Pro tip: the Roccbox makes baking this an absolute dream. Let’s pizza!
1. Pour all of your water into a large mixing bowl and add all of the yeast, stirring to dissolve. Add in half the quantity of flour (500g) to the bowl and mix with your hand for 30 seconds to combine.
2. Add the remaining half of the flour to the bowl and mix for another 30 seconds to combine and then add the salt and mix for a further 30 seconds.
3. Empty out the dough mass onto your counter and knead with your hands for 10 minutes, and then cover the dough with a tea towel and rest on your kitchen/work surface for 10 minutes.
4. Shape the dough mass into a smooth ball by dragging across the counter surface to form tension on the outside of the dough. Cover and leave the dough to rest for a further 45 minutes.
5. Using scales, portion the dough into 250g portions using a dough cutter. Form the dough into balls and place into lightly oiled containers or a tray and cover with a lid, leaving them to proof for 8 hours at room temp.
6. Preheat your Gozney Roccbox (or Dome) to 850°F.
7. Open out a dough ball, top lightly with tomatoes, mozzarella, pepperoni, and sliced jalapenos and transfer to a placement peel. PRO TIP: Ensure that you have lightly dusted the peel with flour first to avoid the dough from sticking.
8. Gently re-adjust the pizza if necessary to stretch to the edges of the peel. Give the pizza a quick shuffle test on the peel, it should freely move and not be stuck. Then transfer to your oven.
9. Allow the pizza to bake for 20-30 seconds before giving it a turn with the turning peel. Turn every 20-30 seconds for about 90 seconds total or until the pizza is baked just how you like it.
10. Remove the pizza from the oven onto a board and slice.
Enjoy and remember, you got this!
