Instructions
Get Prepared
Preheat your oven to 460°F. If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
Lightly oil your pizza pan.
Chiffonade (cut) the basil into small strips and set aside.
Grate your fresh mozzarella cheese and set aside.
Prepare the Dough and Pizza
Spread a light amount of buckwheat flour on your work surface. You can use regular flour if you don't mind it having some gluten.
Place the dough ball onto a floured surface and roll out the dough into a circle 14" across. I recommend using a rolling pin for this dough, rather than stretching by hand.
Transfer the dough to the pizza pan.
Use your fingers to gently shape pinch closed any tears and reshape it if it changed shape during the transfer.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Distribute the basil over the tomato sauce.
Distribute the mozzarella cheese over the entire pizza.
Evenly distribute the koji pepperoni over the cheese.
Bake the Pizza
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 8 minutes.
Rotate the pizza in the oven and cook for another 8 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing.
Slice and Serve
Cut and serve the pizza after the cheese has set slightly.
