Luca Varuni’s Sun in My Plate Pizza

Instructions

• 1

  Prepare the shishito peppers by sauteing for a few minutes with olive oil, garlic, the halved cherry tomatoes and salt.

• 2

  Preheat the Smart Oven® Pizzaiolo by selecting the Wood Fired setting. Turn the Darkness dial to the Darker setting and select 2 minutes on the Timer dial. This can take up to 20 minutes.

• 3

  Once the oven has preheated, lightly toss the dough ball in flour. Stretch the dough and place on the floured peel.

  Tip: The top of the rested dough becomes the bottom of the pizza

  Add the zucchini blossom flowers. Add a little touch of ricotta on top of the flowers. (This will prevent them from burning, since they are very delicate). Add the buffalo mozzarella, cherry tomatoes and shishito peppers. Season with fresh black pepper and sprinkle with pecorino romano.

  Tip: For extra flavor, you can also add the cooked tomatoes to your pizza.
• 5

  Cook for 2 minutes, turning the pizza after 1 minute. Be sure to turn the pizza quickly so as not to lose any heat.

• 6

  Serve the pizza drizzled with extra-virgin olive oil.
