Ingredients

• 450 g all-purpose flour
• 15 g salt
• 40 g cornmeal
• 12 g sugar
• 9 g dry active yeast
• 110 g cold butter
• 275 g water
• 1/4 onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 5 g salt
• 40 g tomato paste
• 28 oz crushed tomatoes
• 10 g sugar
• 1 g dried basil
• 1 g dried oregano
• 1 lb fatty ground pork
• 7 g salt
• 1 g black pepper
• 3 g paprika
• 1 g chile flake
• 1 g dried sage
• 1 g garlic powder
• 5 g sugar
• 2 g toasted and crushed fennel seed
• 5 g red wine vinegar
• 10 to 12 oz whole milk mozzarella
• 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
• parmesan cheese
• chili flakes

What it concludes

• Cutting cold butter into the flour mixture yields a tender, flaky crust compared to lamination methods.
• A 9 to 10-inch cast iron pan provides amazing heat transfer and a well-fried, brown crust.
• Layering the cheese directly on the crust acts as a foundation that protects the dough from getting soggy.
• Using full-fat mozzarella gives a superior stretch and a rich, milky flavor compared to part-skim skim milk mozzarella.
