Ingredients
9ouncespizza dough(AVPN style Neapolitan)
3ouncesPassataMutti Sal Campo
2bulbs black garlicPolar brand organic - cut into pinky-fingertip sized pieces
½tspvolcanic soil sea saltParadise brand
¼cupmozzarella pearls
Instructions
Preheat your outdoor pizza oven (like our Solo Stove Pi) until the stone temperature reaches at least 800°F (425°C).
While the oven is preheating, prepare your ingredients including peeling and cutting the garlic into finger-tip sized pieces.
When the oven is nearly ready, on a lightly floured surface, stretch your Neapolitan dough ball to your desired size, typically 10-12 inches, leaving a puffy edge (cornicione).
Transfer your dough a floured pizza peel.
Spoon the passata into the center and spread evenly, leaving a small border around the edge.
Strategically distribute the pieces of black garlic across the sauce.
Place one mozzarella pearl next to or on top of each piece of garlic to ensure a balanced bite.
Sprinkle the volcanic sea salt evenly over the entire pizza to taste.
Give the peel a shake to ensure the dough isn't stuck and then launch the pizza into the preheated oven.
Bake for approximately 90 seconds, rotating the pizza every 20-30 seconds for an even cook and beautiful leopard spotting on the crust.
Remove the pizza from the oven, let it rest for two minutes, then slice and serve immediately.
Notes
Home Oven Method: If using a standard home oven, preheat a pizza stone or steel for 1 hour at the highest temperature (ideally 550°F / 285°C). Bake for 5-8 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
