Ingredients

Dough

  • 125 ml water
  • 113 grams bread flour
  • 113 grams all purpose flour
  • 15 grams fresh yeast
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Toppings

  • 250 grams mozzarella cheese
  • 40 grams pepperoni
  • 4 tablespoons tomato sauce
  • 4 cherry tomatoes
  • Oregano
  • Basil

Instructions

1)First step, ingredients

  • Sift bread flour and all purpose flour with a flour sifter, add salt and mix with a whisk. Add water and extra virgin olive oil.

2)Second step, knead

  • you need to knead this dough for about 20 minutes or 25, until the dough is elastic and stretchy. You want to add the fresh yeast on the last five minutes of kneading so it doesn’t start to proof in the middle of the kneading.
  • We use a stand mixer on medium low speed, dough hook attachment.

3)Third step, proof

  • Make sure to proof this dough in a clean bowl for about 1h, cover with plastic wrap. It should look like this after this time. Leave the dough in a warm place so it proofs faster.

4)Forth step, crust

  • Separate a part of this dough to make the body parts, such as the paws, tail, head and ears. Then stretch the dough with your hands or a rolling pan and make this round shape. Stuff the crust with lots of cheese, whatever cheese you prefer, we are using mozzarella.

5)Fifth step, shape

  • You want to stuff the head with some mozzarella cheese, then make the other body parts, and slightly press the dough on where you wanna put them so they don’t fall from the pizza. Allow this to rest for 20 minutes.
  • For the tomato sauce we like to blend raw tomato, salt and extra virgin olive oil. You can use whatever tomato sauce you prefer for this. Add oregano, mozzarella cheese, cherry tomatoes and pepperoni. Use whatever toppings you prefer.

6)Sixth step, bake

  • Now you want to bake this at 200C or 390F for about 15 minutes, you can bake it more time if you want we just wanted the pizza to not have a lot of color. decorate with food coloring, or chocolate for the eyes.
