Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 230°C with a pizza stone or baking steel inside, allowing it to heat for at least 30 minutes.
- For the tomato sauce, combine the crushed tomatoes, minced garlic, dried oregano, a pinch of salt, and a dash of black pepper in a small bowl.
- Lightly flour your work surface and stretch each pizza dough ball into a roughly 25 cm round, creating a slight rim for the crust.
- Carefully transfer one dough round to a piece of parchment paper or a lightly floured pizza peel.
- Spread half of the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1 cm border.
- Distribute half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
- Dollop small pieces of half of the 'nduja evenly across the pizza.
- Drizzle 5 ml of olive oil over the assembled pizza.
- Slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking steel and bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and the 'nduja has rendered its spicy oil.
- Repeat the assembly and baking process for the second pizza.
- Remove the pizzas from the oven, immediately drizzle half of the honey over each hot pizza, and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
- Serve the fiery 'nduja pizza while hot, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
