Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour. Mix until a dough forms.

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  3. 3

    Shape the Dough

    Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into two portions. Shape each portion into a ball and let rest for another 30 minutes.

Pizza Assembly

  1. 4

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your wood-fired oven to about 700°F (370°C).

  2. 5

    Prepare the Pizza

    Stretch out one dough ball on a floured surface to form a pizza base. Drizzle with olive oil.

  3. 6

    Add Toppings

    Layer the wood-fired shiitake mushrooms, fior di latte mozzarella, and caciocavallo cheese evenly over the pizza base. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. 7

    Bake the Pizza

    Carefully place the pizza in the wood-fired oven and cook for about 6-8 minutes or until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.

  5. 8

    Finish and Serve

    Remove the pizza from the oven, garnish with fresh basil, and let it cool slightly before serving. Pizza comes uncut.
