Level: Easy
Total: 1 day 45 min
Active: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  2. 1 cup warm water
  3. 2 1/2 cups pizza flour, plus more for dusting
  4. 1 teaspoon sea salt
  5. 4 cups canned San Marzano tomato sauce
  6. Pinch of sea salt
  7. 1 pound fresh mozzarella, sliced
  8. 40 thin slices spicy Italian salami
  9. 16 fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped
  10. 4 tablespoons grated Parmesan
  11. Olive oil, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. For the pizza dough: Prepare the yeast by mixing it in 1 cup warm water. When it’s frothy, add it to the flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Combine until smooth. Portion the dough into 4 balls and let rest for 24 hours.
  2. Heat a wood-fired oven to 350 to 400 degrees F. Flour a work surface, and hand stretch and form the dough balls into the appropriate pizza shapes. Transfer to a floured pizza peel.
  3. For the toppings: Season the San Marzano tomato sauce with a pinch of salt. Scoop a ladleful over each of the pizza dough rounds and spread until it almost reaches the edge of the pizza. Top the pizzas with some mozzarella, salami, basil, Parmesan and a drizzle of olive oil. Bake until golden brown and bubbling, about 1 1/2 minutes.

The oven should be 400 degrees Celsius (750 degrees Fahrenheit), not 400 degrees F. It would not cook in 1-1/2 minutes at a lower temperature. Also, that seems like way too much yeast. I would use 1/2 teaspoon, not 1 tablespoon. It doesn’t say whether to leave the dough out or put it in the fridge, but you can leave it covered in the fridge for a day or two and it will rise even though it is cold.
