Instructions
- In a large bowl add water, oil, honey and yeast. Let sit for about 5 mins to make sure the yeast is alive. If you’re confident you have fresh yeast, no need to wait.400 g warm water, 2 tsp honey or sugar, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp active dry yeast
- In a separate bowl, combine flour and salt. Whisk well.500 g flour, 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- Add the flour mixture to your water and yeast mixture. Stir to combine. You don’t need to excessively mix this, just make sure you don’t have any pockets of dry flour, you want everything hydrated.
- Cover bowl and let rise for about 5 hours at room temp or overnight in the fridge.
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper, and plenty of olive oil. Dump dough onto baking tray, and stretch to fit pan. You may need to let it rest for 20 mins and gently stretch it again if it keeps springing back on you. Let rise for about an hour at room temp.
- Get your oven preheated to as hot as it will go and place rack in center of over. I baked ours at 550°F (~285°C).
- Top pizza with mozzarella, leeks, salami, pepperoncini and Parmigiano. Bake pizza for 12-16 minutes. This will depend on your oven temp. If you have an oven that goes to 500°F you will bake it closer to the 16 min mark. After those initial 12-16 minutes, set the oven to broil and let that pizza get bubbly and crisp on top. It usually takes 3 or 4 mins. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn.5 Pepperoncini, handful Salami, 1 Leek, 8 oz Fresh Mozzarella, 1/4 c Parmigiano Reggiano
- Remove pizza from oven and let sit for 10 minutes before removing from the tray and slicing. Then eat up!
