Ingredients
Method
Techniques
- 500 g bread flour
- 1 tbsp kosher salt
- 4 g yeast
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1½ cup water
Combine bread flour, kosher salt, yeast, olive oil and water in the food processor and process into dough; the blades shear the dough and develop gluten.
Food processor pizza dough
- olive oil
Press the dough into an oiled 9x13 pan and proof 1 to 2 hours until about doubled.
- canned tomatoes
- salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
Simmer canned tomatoes with salt and a tablespoon of sugar until somewhat reduced; blend smooth and reduce further until pizza-sauce thick, by eye.
- 1½ whole pepperoni
Cut a whole pepperoni sausage about a quarter inch thick; thick slices shrink in the oven and curl into cups.
- fresh mozzarella
Slice the fresh mozzarella very thin.
Press the risen dough into the edges to form a lip. Top with a thin layer of cheese, then a good amount of sauce, then pepperoni, then freshly grated pecorino.
- pecorino
Bake at around 450 degrees for about 20 minutes, until the pepperoni cups are close to burning.
Slide out of the pan in one piece and cool on a rack before cutting.
Cooling and verdict on batch one
- low moisture mozzarella
- hot honey
Variation (second batch): same dough with pizza yeast, low-moisture mozzarella, about 50% more sauce and double the pepperoni, heavier pecorino, hot honey drizzled over the top and along the crust edge; bake the same until the pepperoni cups are almost too dark.
Second batch: more sauce, double pepperoni
