Pinsa Dough Preparation
1. Activate Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Allow it to sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2. Mix Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough begins to form.
3. Knead Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. First Rise
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Porchetta Preparation
5. Prepare Pork Belly
Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F). Score the skin of the pork belly in a crosshatch pattern without cutting into the meat.
6. Season Pork
In a bowl, mix minced garlic, chopped rosemary, fennel seeds, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the pork belly, making sure to get it into the scores.
7. Roast Pork
Place the pork belly on a baking sheet, skin side up, and roast in the preheated oven for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the skin is crispy and the meat is tender.
8. Rest and Slice
Once cooked, remove the pork belly from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes. Then slice it into thin pieces.
Assembly
9. Shape Pinsa
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into an oval or rectangle on a floured surface.
10. Cook Pinsa
Preheat your grill or oven to a high temperature (220°C / 425°F). Cook the shaped dough for about 10-15 minutes until golden and cooked through.
11. Assemble the Panino
Spread light mayonnaise on the inside of the cooked pinsa. Layer with lettuce leaves, slices of fontina cheese, and the roasted pork belly slices.
12. Serve
Close the pinsa and serve immediately, enjoying the warm, melty cheese and flavorful porchetta.
