Yield Makes one 12" pizza

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 ounces Christian Petroni's Pizza Dough
Semolina, for peel
4 to 6 tablespoons Simple Tomato Sauce for Pizza
2 to 4 ounces fresh mozzarella, drained, cut into 1-inch pieces
13 thin slices spicy soppressata
1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1 tablespoon spicy chili oil, preferably Calabrian
1 tablespoon Calabrian Chili Honey

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to the highest temperature possible with a pizza stone on the upper rack, for 1 hour.
  • Stretch pizza dough with your fingers, working in a circular motion, with your fingers positioned between the center of the dough and the edge, forming a rough disk that will gradually become thinner as you proceed. Then toss dough between the palms of your hands, allowing gravity to stretch it, and the center becomes thinner. Use your fists to move the dough in a circular motion to further stretch it, until it is about 12 inches in diameter, with the edge being slightly thicker. Place dough on a pizza peel lightly sprinkled with semolina to ensure it won't stick.
  • Using a small ladle, evenly spread tomato sauce over the surface of the dough, leaving a 1/2-ich border. Distribute mozzarella uniformly over sauce; top with soppressata. Sprinkle with Parmigiano-Reggiano, and drizzle with chili oil.
  • When transferring pizza to the heated pizza stone in the oven, use one continuous, but quick, jerking motion. Once in the oven, turn the oven off, and turn broiler to high, and cook for 5 to 6 minutes. Serve drizzled with chili honey.
