Chef Tom Fraker
1 store-bought Pizza Dough or 1 recipe for Dough below
1/2 cup Your Favorite Marinara Sauce
3/4 cup Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
3/4 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
20 slices Pepperoni
1 cup Melissa’s Jalapeño Relish “Escabeche”
1/2 teaspoon Fresh Oregano, chopped
1/2 teaspoon Fresh Basil, chopped
2 - 2 1/2 cups “OO” Pizza Flour or All-Purpose
2 1/4 teaspoons Instant Yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons Granulated Sugar
3 cloves Melissa’s Peeled Garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3/4 cup Warm Water
1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
Preheat the oven to 500ºF. Place a pizza stone in the oven while it preheats.
Spread the marinara over the pizza dough. Add the rest of the ingredients, in the order above, over the pizza and place into the oven. Keeping a close watch, bake until the pizza is slightly charred all over, rotating it every few minutes so it cooks evenly. Cut and served.
In a standing mixer, Add 1 cup of the flour and the next 6 ingredients and mix. Add the salt and more flour, as needed, until the dough is only slightly sticky. Cover and let rest for at least 2 hours.
