Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    Preheat your wood-fired oven to around 800°F (427°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Pizza

    Spread the wood-fired tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the mozzarella and caciocavallo cheese on top.

  3. 3

    Add the Toppings

    Place the meatballs evenly across the pizza. Tear the spicy salame into small pieces and scatter it over the pizza. Add the bacon slices, cut in half for easier placement.

  4. 4

    Season the Pizza

    Drizzle olive oil over the toppings. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Add fresh basil leaves on top.

  5. 5

    Bake the Pizza

    Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated wood-fired oven. Bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Serve uncut for guests to slice themselves.
