Instructions

Step 1

To preheat the oven, set the Gozney to 450°C / 845°F and allow it to fully heat up.

Step 2

To stretch the dough, lightly flour your work surface and open up one dough ball into a 10–12 inch base, being careful not to knock out the air from the edge.

Step 3

To assemble the pizza, spread 2 spoonfuls of crushed tomatoes evenly over the base. Sprinkle with Parmigiano Reggiano, followed by 1 pinch of dried oregano. Scatter over half the mozzarella, then arrange 5 slices of soppressata and 5 olives. Repeat with the second pizza.

Step 4

To bake the pizza, dust a peel with flour, launch the pizzas into the oven, and cook for 3–6 minutes, turning regularly for an even bake and charred crust.

Step 5

To finish, remove from the oven once the cheese is melted and bubbling and the crust is golden with dark spots. To serve, slice and enjoy immediately.
