When Andris Lagsdin, who invented the Baking Steel (sort of a giant deal) provided to ship me a few of his 72 hour dough to attempt, I used to be psyched. The 72 hour dough is at the moment on kickstarter and I can’t stress sufficient how excellent it’s for somebody like me. I gained’t need to really feel any extra dough-shame simply because I don’t have the kitchen / consideration span / time to make dough myself as a substitute of shopping for it on the retailer. Home made dough, delivered to my door? Amen.
As soon as I knew the 72 hour dough was on its manner, I received to planning the toppings I’d use. I had a hunk of Vermont Creamery goat cheese in my fridge that wanted for use up, so I figured I’d as properly shoot for the celebs and attempt to recreate Frank Pepe’s quattro formaggi pizza recipe!
Pepe’s really posted this video some time in the past which exhibits their quattro formaggi pizza being made. This led me to my subsequent adventure- deciding to slice my very own mozzarella. At first I used a knife, which was a fail- I couldn’t get the cheese slices skinny sufficient. Fortunately I remembered I had a cheese slicer like this one laying round the home, which received the job achieved rather a lot higher. Anyway right here’s the recipe!
Elements
- 1 ball 72 hour dough
- Pizza sauce (I actually like the type you will get from Complete Meals’s ready meals part)
- Complete milk mozzarella, sliced
- goat cheese, crumbled up
- Shredded asiago
- Grated romano cheese
Instructions
- On the similar time you set out the dough to get to room temp, begin heating up your baking metal or pizza stone. I preheat my oven as excessive as it is going to go, 550F, with the baking metal on my prime rack for 45 min.
- As soon as the dough is at room temp, stretch it out on a calmly floured floor. I exploit parchment paper on a wood peel. Don’t stretch it too skinny – it’s simple to do! (see under)
- Lay the sliced mozzarella down in your pizza in a single layer.
- Unfold about 3 spoonfuls of sauce on prime of the mozzarella. Be sure to not use an excessive amount of – you don’t need your pizza weighed down and soggy.
- Prime the mozzarella and sauce with the goat cheese, asiago, and romano.
- As soon as the baking metal is pre-heated, slide your pizza onto it and let it bake for 4 min.
- On the 4 min mark, take out your parchment paper (if used) and provides the pizza a spin. At this level I swap to my metal peel as a result of it slides underneath the pizza rather a lot simpler than my wood peel.
- Bake the pizza for 2-3 extra minutes whereas keeping track of it, till the crust is barely browned and the cheese is melted. You may also broil your pizza for the previous few minutes to get a extra well-done crust.
- Slice the pizza and revel in!
