Calabrian Cowboy Pizza

Serves 2

We often associate cowboys with their smokin’ hot guns. Well this cowboy has a really hot smoking gun that can really fire you up once you’ve tasted it.

Calabria’s famous Nduja sausage delivers a real shot of heat with the calabrian chilli’s, and then your taste sensation continues with the Calabrian sausage meat that adds a real texture to the pizza whilst adding a subtle touch of heat of it’s own. But the real door swinger in town on this pizza is the Roquito peppers. They come and smack you right in the mouth with a combination of juicy sweetness and firety hot chilli heat.

This pizza will blow your head off.

Ingredients

1 Great Balls of Flour sourdough pizza ball
Flour and semolina mix
65g Great Balls of Flour Pizza Tomato Sauce
70g Fior Di Latte Julienne cut.
25g Red Onion, thinly sliced
25g Nduja sausage paste
75g Calabrian sausage meat
25g Roquito chilli peppers

Method

Ensure you have prepared your Great Balls of Flour pizza dough ball so it is rested and has got up to temperature. This will make it really easy to press and stretch your dough ball into the pizza base.

Fire up your pizza oven, or home oven to it’s maximum setting (250ºC), waiting until your stone or steel has had sufficient time to get to temperature. Remove your Great Balls of Flour Pizza Tomato Sauce from your fridge and allow to warm for 45 minutes before building your pizza.

Sprinkle your work surface with flour and semolina mix and roll your dough ball lightly covering it all over to ensure it doesn’t stick to the surface. Spread and stretch like in this video

Springkle your pizza peel or parchment paper with flour and semolina mix. Transfer to your pizza peel, or parchment paper if cooking in a home oven. Remember to shuffle the pizza base a couple of times throughout the building process to ensure your base doesn’t stick to the peel/parchment paper.

Spread your tomato sauce, work quickly now to top the rest of the pizza so as to ensure your base doesn’t get soggy. Next add your red onions, Nduja, Roquito peppers and Calabrian sausage meat.
