Inspiration

This one is Ted's tribute to late-night slices from the corner shop, but puffier and way more dramatic.

The goal is a light, pillowy crust that still snaps on the edge, so the dough gets a slow rise and a hot pan.

Fresh basil comes in at the last second for the most aromatic bite.

Ingredients

  • Pizza dough (24-hour cold rise)
  • Crushed San Marzano tomatoes
  • Fresh mozzarella
  • Basil leaves
  • Olive oil
  • Sea salt

Steps

  1. Stretch the dough into a puffy round and press into a hot oiled pan.
  2. Spoon tomato sauce in a spiral and add torn mozzarella.
  3. Bake until the edges blister and the cheese bubbles.
  4. Finish with basil, olive oil, and a pinch of sea salt.
