Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 1 pizza dough
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) pizza sauce
- 1/4 cup (60 g) fresh mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup (60 g) ricotta cheese
Meat Ingredients:
- 2 pieces prosciutto, shredded
- 4 pieces coppa
Finishing Ingredients:
- 12 slivers red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) hot honey
- 1/4 teaspoon finishing salt (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat pizza stone in oven to 550F, ensuring maximum heat absorption for crispy crust.
- Gently stretch pizza dough into a thin, even 12-inch circular shape on a generously floured surface.
- Spread tomato sauce evenly across dough, leaving a small border around the edges for a perfect crust.
- Carefully distribute mozzarella, ricotta, prosciutto, coppa, and thinly sliced onions across the sauced surface.
- Verify pizza slides smoothly on pizza peel by gently shaking, adding extra flour if needed to prevent sticking.
- Slide pizza onto hot stone in oven, rotating halfway through cooking to ensure uniform browning.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until crust turns golden brown and cheese melts completely.
- Remove from oven, drizzle with hot honey, sprinkle finishing salt, slice into wedges, and serve immediately while piping hot.
Notes
- High-heat cooking ensures crispy, perfectly charred crust, mimicking authentic wood-fired pizza results.
- Use semolina flour instead of regular flour on pizza peel for easier sliding and extra crunch.
- Select room temperature ingredients to help even cooking and enhance flavor melding.
- Gluten-free option works by substituting traditional wheat dough with cauliflower or almond flour crust for dietary needs.
