Equipment

Ingredients
  

For the dough:

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cups all purpose flour (360g)
  • 1 tsp. honey
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 tsp. active dry yeast

For the Arrabbiata Sauce:

  • 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup minced onion
  • ⅛ tsp. red pepper flakes
  • 2 slices chopped bacon
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 4 plum tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 cup tomato puree
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 tsp. oregano
  • ½ tsp. sugar
  • 2 sliced pepperoncini peppers
  • 1 Parmesan rind

For the Roasted Peppers:

  • 2 red peppers
  • ½ cup white vinegar
  • 1 tsp. sugar
  • ¼ tsp. kosher salt

To finish the pizza:

  • 2 cups fresh mozzarella, shredded
  • ¼ cup sliced olives

Instructions
 

For the Pizza Dough:

  • Put all the ingredients in your bread machine, in the order suggested by the manufacturer. Select the dough cycle.
  • When the dough cycle ends, using your fingers, push out half the dough on a parchment covered pizza peel. Brush with olive oil and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise 30 minutes.

For the Arrabbiata Sauce:

  • In a Dutch oven, heat the olive oil on low heat. Add the onion, red pepper flakes, bacon, and bay leaf and cook until the onion is softened.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove the bay leaf and Parmesan rind before serving. You will have sauce left over after topping your pizza.

For the Roasted Peppers:

  • On a baking sheet, roast the peppers at 350° for 1 hour. Remove the skin and seeds and chop in one inch pieces.
  • Mix the rest of the ingredients together and let them pickle, in the refrigerator, while the dough rises.

To Finish the Pizza:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°. Heat the pizza stone for 30 minutes, and then, slide the parchment and dough onto the stone. Bake for 20 minutes.
  • Using the pizza peel, remove the dough and parchment from the oven. Top with about a cup of sauce, the mozzarella, the peppers, and the olives. Bake 10 more minutes.
  • Remove the pizza and sprinkle with basil.
