Tangerine Dream pizza

We like starting debates and it’s amazing how pizza can influence one. As we grab another slice the conversation turns to fruit. Soooo divisive. But this one is real taste bud tickler, the tangy bitter sweetness of tangerine segment coupled against the salty spice of Nduja sausage. Your brain is telling you it shouldn’t work, but your taste buds tell you otherwise. Seriously, if there is one new pizza recipe you try this year, make it this one.

Ingredients

1 Great Balls of Flour dough ball
Flour and semolina mix
65g Tomato Sauce – 2 1/2 desert spoons
15g Thinly sliced red onion (optional)
1/4 yellow pepper (bell pepper
70g Fior di Mozzarella cheese OR ½ ball buffalo di Mozzarella
7 – 8 tangerine segments
25g – Nduja sausage paste.

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.

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.

Transfer to your pizza peel, or parchment paper if cooking in a home oven.

Spread your tomato sauce onto the pizza base then moving quickly add your toppings in your preferred order dropping dollops of Nduja over the cheese and finally adding the tangerine.
