For the Dough

Step 1

Make the ‘Pan Pizza Dough’ recipe from Gozney Pizza Volume 01, page 68. Alternatively, use our Sicilian Pizza Dough recipe.


For the pizza

Step 1

Heat the Gozney to 350°C / 650°F.

Step 2

Liberally oil the dough and your hands with olive oil and make 8-10 dimples in the dough.

Step 3

Place the pan into the oven for 4 minutes to par bake, turning halfway through to ensure an even bake.

Step 4

Carefully remove the dough from the tin and allow to cool on a cooling rack.


For the buffalo style sauce

Step 1

Place the butter into a saucepan and melt.

Step 2

Pour in the remaining buffalo style sauce ingredients and whisk until smooth.


For the cornstarch slurry

Step 1

Add the cold water to the cornstarch and stir continuously.

Step 2

Pour the cornstarch mix into the buffalo style sauce and whisk to combine.

Step 3

Place the pan into the Gozney and allow the mix to come to a boil to thicken. Place into the fridge to cool.


For the gorgonzola cream

Step 1

Place all the ingredients except the gorgonzola into a bowl and stir to combine.

Step 2

Add the gorgonzola and using a stick blender pulse until smooth.


For the chicken

Step 1

Place the chicken into a mixing bowl and add in enough of the cooled buffalo style sauce to coat the chicken generously, stir to combine.


For the Pizza

Step 1

Liberally oil the pizza pan with olive oil and place the par backed dough back into the tin. Olive the crust of the dough for a nice crispy crust too.

Step 2

Place some of the aged mozzarella, fior di latte, slice onion and chicken onto the pizza. Drizzle with olive oil.

Step 3

Place the pizza into the Gozney, turn the flame off and close the door. Set timer for 3 minutes, open the door and rotate the pizza. Return to the Gozney for another 3 minutes. If the pizza requires more colour turn the flame back on and allow to cook for another couple of minutes. Repeat with the remaining pizzas.


To finish

Step 1

Allow the pizza to rest for a couple of minutes.

Step 2

Drizzle with some of the buffalo style sauce, gorgonzola sauce, gorgonzola picante, sliced spring onion or scallion and a grating of pecorino-Romano. Then slice and serve!
