Name: Anthony Falco’s Thin and Crispy Cheese Pizza
Cook time: 300 s
Total time: 2100 s
Yield: Makes 1 pizza
Ingredients: Flour - for dusting; 1 pizza dough ball - (see Anthony Falco’s Thin and Crispy Pizza Dough recipe); 7 oz shredded 50/50-part skim and whole mozzarella cheese; Pinch Sicilian oregano; ¾ oz finely grated parmigiano reggiano; 1 oz tomato-based sauce - (whole peeled tomatoes drained, blended & seasoned to taste with salt & extra-virgin olive oil)

This is a very simple pizza with a couple of special twists. The blend of part skim and whole milk mozzarella is a trick many pizzerias in New York City use. Do yourself a favor and take the time to source the Sicilian oregano. Its flavor is so much more flavorful and floral than the old stuff in your spice cabinet.

Instructions

1
On the Smart Oven® Pizzaiolo with the interface magnet in place, press and hold the deck temp dial and turn the top temp dial from off to 350°F, then release the deck temp dial. The manual mode light will flash 3 times, then stay on to indicate it is in Manual mode. Turn the Deck Temp to 600°F, the Top Temp to 500°F and the Top Control to Even Heat. This can take up to 20 minutes.
2
Once the oven has preheated, stretch and shape the dough on a lightly floured surface, then place on the lightly floured peel.
3
Scatter with mozzarella, oregano and parmigiano reggiano, then dollop over the tomato-based sauce.
Tip: Allow a 1-inch border around the edges to prevent the cheese bubbling over.
