1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil.

3/4 cup shredded mozzarella.
05 -

03 -
Brush a good amount of olive oil evenly over the dough.

Start with mozzarella, then sprinkle on Pecorino and finish with freshly ground black pepper.

Bake for 8-10 minutes, letting the crust puff and turn golden. Turn on the broiler for 2 minutes at the end if you want a bit of char on top.
06 -
Pop it in a pizza oven for 3-5 minutes to get that perfectly crispy crust.
07 -
Slice it up and enjoy right away.
# Notes:
01 -
A super hot oven is key if you want that crispy crust.
02 -
For the best flavor, crack the black pepper fresh and leave it somewhat chunky.
