This burger pizza hybrid was actually seriously good! I cooked the patty beforehand and then gave it 8-10 minutes, wrapped, in my oven (carbon baking steel / maximum temperature). Normal pizza dough recipe for one ball:

145g ‘00’ flour
95ml water
4.5g salt
0.1g fresh yeast
(Room temperature ferment for 24hrs)

Giving it a try? Hit save 🍔

This has to be my all-time favourite topping - Spianata Piccante! It comes in a pack as part of a ‘charcuterie board’ in Asda. It’s one of the tastiest I found 😋 Open to recommendations though 🙏🏻

Who remembers the first time they made pizza? When I was growing I had a black & white recipe photocopied from an old book. The dough mix definitely didn’t ferment for more than an hour and was then cooked on a thin baking tray. The results? Flat, underproved and dry 🙈
-
It was then, aged 10, that I started thinking of better ways to cook pizza in a home oven.
Fast forward to now and I’m able to use my carbon steel to get consistent, authentic styles of pizza at home with minimal effort. 10 year old me would have been stoked!
-
I’m so happy now to be able to cook with friends and young ones, hopefully giving them ‘the bug’ that they can carry forward into their future.

What your first memory of making pizza? 🍕👶🏻

Did they reinvent pepperoni? - I’d say yes!
Using the meat as a crumble allows you to experience flavour in every single bite. Sweet smoky delicious that renders out across the entire pizza 😋
-
But the question is, which do you prefer? A crumble or a slice? 🤷🏻‍♂️
-
🐽 | hot honey | basil
[Not and Ad - Just delicious]

Cooked on my carbon steel (sold out right now but new blanks coming asap!) ♨️

Pizza sauce, fior di latte mozzarella, emmental, brisket, mushrooms, onions, rocket, gherkin relish, mustard 😋
-
The beef brisket and Emmental actually came as a meal kit from Tesco (a combination I would not have thought of unless I’d seen it on the shelf). This one worked really well, and I would say it even deserves a place on my pizza menu (if I ever open a restaurant 😋)

Thoughts? 🙏🏻
