Instructions

  • 1To make the pizza dough, place the flour, salt and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the dough hook, mix to combine. Add the water and knead on low speed for 5 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  • 2Transfer the dough to a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to proof in a warm, draft-free place for 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
    Tip: If you have a Breville oven with a proof function; set to 30°C and proof for 1 hour.
  • 3Turn the dough onto a lightly floured bench top and divide into 4 even pieces, approximately 240g each. Shape each piece into a smooth ball.
  • 4Sprinkle a proofing box or deep sided container with semolina. Place the dough balls in the box, leaving 10cm between them. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or up to 5 days.
  • 5An hour before cooking, remove the dough from the refrigerator. Meanwhile, make the pizza sauce.
  • 6To make the pizza sauce, place the tomatoes, oil, garlic, oregano, salt and chilli flakes (if using), in a large jug. Process with an immersion blender until smooth.
  • 7About 30 minutes before the dough has finished resting, preheat the oven. Select the Wood Fired setting. Turn the Darkness dial to the Lighter setting and select 5 minutes on the Timer dial.
  • 8Place the bacon in the pizza pan. Once preheated, place the pan in the oven, press the Timer dial and cook for 5 minutes, or until the bacon is lightly browned, stirring halfway through cooking. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined plate to cool.
  • 9Sprinkle semolina on the bench top. Place one of the dough balls on the bench top. Sprinkle semolina over the dough. Keep the remaining dough covered to prevent it from drying out. Gently press out the dough working from the centre into a 26cm round, leaving a 1cm border. Lightly sprinkle the pizza peel with semolina. Carefully transfer the dough onto the pizza peel.
  • 10For each pizza, leaving a small border, spread 1/4 cup of the pizza sauce evenly over the dough. Scatter with 1/4 cup mozzarella, then top with a quarter each of the bacon, pepperoni and sausage meat. Finish with 1/4 cup mozzarella and a quarter of the parmesan.
    Tip: The excess sauce can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. It can be used on pasta or wherever passata/tomato puree is used.
  • 11Place the pizza in the oven and adjust the Timer dial to 3 minutes. Press the Timer dial and cook for 3 minutes, or until the crust is spotted brown and the cheese has melted.
  • 12Transfer to a cutting board, slice and serve.
