- 1000 grams 00 flour + 1/2 cup for kneading
- 1/8 tsp yeast

- 1 can Cento Crushed Tomatoes
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
Toppings
- 16 ounces fresh mozzarella ball
- 6 ounces grated parmesan cheese
- fresh basil leaves

Instructions
Pizza Dough
- Measure water in a large bowl with a kitchen scale
- While still using the kitchen scale, add salt. Stir until salt is dissolved
- Add in half of the 00 flour, stir until combined
- Stir in yeast
- Add the rest of the flour and stir until combined
- Pour the dough onto a heavy floured counter surface. I use another 1/2 cup of flour, the dough starts out very sticky.
- Knead the dough for 15 minutes. The texture and elasticity of the dough with change as you are kneading.
- Once fully kneaded use your kitchen scale to measure out 270 grams of dough. Roll the dough into a ball and place into a lightly greased dough proofing box. Repeat until all the dough is used and 6 balls and made.
- Place dough proofing box in your oven with it OFF but the light on. Let sit in there for 2 hours. This creates a warm space for the dough to rest and rise.
- Turn off the light and let it sit in the OFF oven for the remaining 6 hours.
- While you prepare your pizza, start your fire pizza oven. It will need to preheat for about 30 minutes to get to a high enough temperature.
- After resting, take the box out of the oven and lightly flour your counter. Spread & stretch the dough out into a circle.
Sauce
- In a bowl combine tomatoes and seasoning. Stir.
Assemble
- In a bowl, squeeze the mozzarella ball into little bits
- Hand shred fresh basil
- Once the dough is stretched, spread sauce on top. Sprinkle cheese chunks over sauce, place basil & star pepperonis on top, then sprinkle parmesan over it all
- Bake for about 2 minutes, rotating the pizza about 45 degrees every 30 seconds for a even cook.
- Remove, slice and enjoy!
