Your craving Cacio e Pepe Pizza? Well, you came to the right place!
Here's the recipe:

Ingredients:

  • For the dough:

  • 3 grams dry yeast
  • 400 grams lukewarm water
  • 20 grams salt
  • 600 grams flour

  • For toppings (per pizza):
  • 70 grams of Pecorino Romano
  • Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • Basil leaves
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 80 grams of mozzarella di bufala

Method:

  1. Make the dough:
    In a bowl, add 2 tablespoons of the water
    to the yeast until the yeast dissolves. Set aside. Dissolve the salt
    in the remaining water and mix for 1 minute. Mix the flour with
    the salt water for 3 minutes. Add the dissolved yeast and
    continue to mix, kneading the dough with your hands, for another
    3 minutes. Let the dough rest in a container for 3 hours, covered,
    before rolling the dough into 4 balls of equal size. Cover with a
    wet towel or tight plastic wrap to preserve humidity and
    allow the balls to rise for 5 hours.
  2. Prepare the pizza stone:
    Set the oven to its maximum temperature, ideally 550˚F,
    and place the pizza stone inside. Let it saturate with heat
    for at least 1 hour.
  3. Assemble the pizza:
    Stretch a ball of dough out to a 12-inch round. Add the
    Pecorino, basil, pepper, and drizzle with some extra-virgin
    olive oil. Cook in the oven for 2 minutes, then add the
    mozzarella and cook for an extra minute. Serve immediately.
