Ingredients
Ingredients
- dough — per 16" round (~332 g); batch below makes 2 rounds
- 420 g bread flour
- 210 g water
- 8 g salt
- 5 g idy
- 12 g oil
- 11 g sugar / turbinado
- 11 g ldmp
- semolina or cornmeal, to dust
- toppings — per 16" round
- 6 oz shredded provolone + a little parm
- 5 oz pepperoni, shingled to the very edge
- 3 oz Italian sausage crumbles (optional)
- 1/2 cup Casa M marinara pizza sauce
- Casa M Spice Co® Chain Reaction® Add
Method
-
01
Mix and knead 3-4 min only — stiff and dry like pie dough, do NOT add water. Rest 20-30 min to roll (no fermentation needed).
-
02
Roll thin with a pin; dock the whole surface hard.
-
03
Par-bake the docked skin to set it (~6 minutes, 3' per side)
-
04
Dress: thin sauce edge to edge, then cheese, then pepperoni shingled to the rim.
-
05
Finish bake ~6 min at 500F convection until the cheese melts and the pepperoni cups and chars.
-
06
The last ~2 min turn it out of the screen to DIRECTLY on the oven rack for a cracker-crisp bottom.
-
07
Party-cut into squares.
-
08
Serve immediately — cracker crust softens fast.
From Mike's Notebook
Dock the rolled skin aggressively and evenly — any missed spots will bubble up during the par-bake and give you an uneven cracker base that breaks under the toppings.
Pull the pizza off the screen and onto the bare oven rack for those final 2 minutes the moment you see the pepperoni starting to cup and the cheese edges turning golden, not after.
Dust your screen with semolina rather than cornmeal for a finer, sandier texture under the crust that won't overpower the Chain Reaction® you're finishing with.
