Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pizza dough
- 2 slices prosciutto (shredded)
- 4 slices coppa
- ¼ cup (60 ml) mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup (60 ml) ricotta cheese
- ¼ cup (60 ml) pizza sauce
- 12 thin slivers red onion
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) hot honey
- ¼ tsp finishing salt (optional)
Instructions
- Stone Preparation: Position pizza stone in outdoor pizza oven, heating to an intense 700°F (371°C) for achieving an authentic, crispy crust.
- Dough Foundation: Dust wooden pizza peel with flour, then stretch dough into an 11 to 13-inch rustic circular shape, maintaining consistent thickness.
- Sauce and Cheese Layer: Spread pizza sauce evenly across dough, leaving a border for classic crust, then distribute mozzarella and ricotta cheeses to create a creamy, textured base.
- Topping Arrangement: Carefully place prosciutto, coppa, and red onion slices across the surface, ensuring balanced and aesthetic coverage.
- Stone Transfer: Verify dough’s mobility on peel, then confidently slide pizza onto blazing hot stone using a swift, smooth motion.
- Precise Baking: Rotate pizza every 15 seconds using turning peel, achieving an evenly charred golden crust within approximately 2 minutes.
- Finishing Touches: Immediately remove pizza from oven, drizzle with hot honey, sprinkle with finishing salt, then slice into wedges and serve while piping hot and crisp.
Notes
- Preheat with Precision: Heat pizza stone to exactly 700°F for achieving that perfect crispy, restaurant-quality crust with authentic charred edges.
- Flour Power: Generously dust pizza peel with flour to prevent dough sticking and ensure smooth, effortless pizza transfer without tearing or clumping.
- Master Rotation Technique: Use turning peel to rotate pizza every 15 seconds, creating an evenly charred surface and preventing uneven burning or cold spots.
- Finish with Flair: Immediately drizzle hot honey after baking and sprinkle finishing salt to elevate flavor complexity and add professional-level gourmet touch.
