Equipment

  • Stand Mixer
  • Baking sheet
  • blender

Ingredients
  

Pizza Dough

  • 1.5 cups cold water preferably filtered or bottled
  • 1 teaspoon instant dry yeast
  • 4 cups bread flour
  • 1 tablespoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 0.25 cups extra-virgin olive oil plus more for proofing and prepping the pan

Pizza Sauce and Cheese

  • 1 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes
  • 2 large cloves garlic
  • 4-5 leaves basil plus more chiffonade for serving
  • 4-5 pieces pickled cherry peppers plus more for topping
  • 0.75 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 6-ounce block low-moisture whole-milk mozzarella cheese shredded on the large holes of the box grater
  • 1-2 balls burrata for topping
  • Parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In the base of a stand mixer, stir cold water and yeast. In a large bowl, lightly whisk flour, salt, and sugar.
  • On the low setting, add in your bread flour mixture until combined, about 6 to 7 minutes. Then add in your oil, and let this relax for another 10 minutes.
  • After 10 minutes, turn the stand mixer back on low for 30 seconds to incorporate the dough completely. Transfer your dough to a surface, cover, and allow it to rest at room temperature for about an hour.
  • After an hour, form the dough into a tight ball, and add it to an oiled bowl. Cover well, and transfer to the fridge overnight.
  • When ready to bake, bring your dough to room temperature for 1 hour.
  • In the meantime, make your sauce. Blend tomatoes, garlic, basil, cherry pepper, sugar, salt, and pepper until combined.
  • Transfer your dough now to a well-oiled baking sheet, and allow it to relax here for another hour or two, until the edges of the dough reach the edge of the pan.
  • When your dough is ready, preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Layer your tomato sauce over the dough and parbake for about 5 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven, top with your shredded cheese, and add more sauce over the cheese.
  • Transfer to the top part of the oven to fully cook your pizza dough and melt the cheese, about 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven, slice into squares, and top each square with a dollop of burrata, sliced basil leaves, black pepper, shredded parmesan, and a drizzle of hot honey.

Notes

Ensure you are oiling the base of your pan for a crispy crust. Store slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or toaster until hot and crisp. Avoid the microwave.
