step one, prepare the dough ingredient

1. Sift bread flour and all purpose flour together using a flour sifter or sieve to remove lumps and ensure a smooth texture. Add salt and mix it evenly using a whisk. Add water and extra virgin olive oil to the mixture.

step two, knead the dough

1. Knead the dough four 20 to 25 minutes until it becomes stretchy. Add the fresh yeast during the last 5 minutes of kneading to ensure it doesn’t proof too early. Use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment on medium low speed for convenience.

step three, proof the dough

1. After kneading, it is time to let the dough proof. Place the dough in a clean, lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out. Leave the dough to proof for about 1 hour in a warm place. The dough should double in size during this time.

step four, prepare the crust for the piggy pizza body

1. Once the dough has proofed, it’s time to shape it into your pizza base and create the adorable pig features. Separate portions of dough to create body parts such as head, tail, ears and paws. Stretch the dough using your hands or a rolling pin to create the round pizza base shape.
2. Stuff the crust with plenty of shredded mozzarella choice for a cheesy, gooey center.

step five, shape the pig pizza design

1. Stuff the head with shredded mozzarella for a gooey surprise. Create the ears, paws and tail by shaping small dough portions and pressing them gently onto the body to ensure they stay put. Allow the pizza dough to rest for 20 minutes.
2. We recommend making a fresh, simple tomato sauce to complement your toppings, blend raw tomatoes, pinch of salt and extra virgin olive oil, add oregano. Spread it evenly over the pizza base, and add cherry tomatoes, pepperoni slices and mozzarella cheese as toppings.

step six, bake your adorable pizza

1. Preheat your oven to 200ºC (390ºF), bake the pizza for 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. You can bake it longer if you want it more golden brown but we recommend a lighter bake for the best look. For added charm, decorate the eyes with melted chocolate or food coloring to give your pig pizza personality.
