Ingredients
- 500g strong white bread flour
- 7g instant dried yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 300ml warm water
- 200g passata
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 200g fresh mozzarella, torn into pieces
- 120g nduja sausage
- 3 tbsp runny honey
- 50g fresh rocket leaves
- 30g Parmesan cheese, shaved
- Pinch of chilli flakes
- Semolina flour for dusting
Instructions
Combine flour, yeast, and salt in a large bowl. Add olive oil and warm water, mixing until a shaggy dough forms. Knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover with cling film, and leave to rise in a warm spot for 1 hour until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to the highest setting, ideally 250°C fan, with a baking tray or pizza stone inside for at least 30 minutes.
Mix passata with minced garlic and dried oregano to create a simple pizza sauce. Season with salt to taste.
Divide risen dough into 2 equal portions. On a semolina-dusted surface, stretch each portion into a 30cm round pizza base.
Spread half the sauce over each base, leaving a 2cm border. Scatter torn mozzarella evenly over the pizzas.
Dot small pieces of nduja across each pizza, spacing them evenly as the spicy sausage will spread during cooking.
Carefully transfer pizzas to the preheated tray or stone. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling with charred spots, ensuring the pizza reaches an internal temperature of at least 75°C.
Remove from oven and immediately drizzle each pizza generously with honey while still hot.
Top with fresh rocket leaves and Parmesan shavings. Add a pinch of chilli flakes, slice, and serve immediately.
