For the dough

Step 1:

Make the ‘Pan Pizza Dough’ recipe from Gozney Pizza Volume 01, page 68. Alternatively, use our Sicilian Pizza Dough recipe.

For the pizza

Step 1:

Heat the Gozney to 350°C / 650°F.

Step 2:

Liberally oil the dough and your hands with olive oil and make 8-10 dimples in the dough.

Step 3:

Place the pan into the oven for 4 minutes to par bake, turning halfway through to ensure an even bake.

Step 4:

Carefully remove the dough from the tin and allow to cool on a cooling rack.

For the buffalo style sauce

Step 1:

Place the butter into a saucepan and melt.

Step 2:

Pour in the remaining buffalo style sauce ingredients and whisk until smooth.

For the cornstarch slurry

Step 1:

Add the cold water to the cornstarch and stir continuously.

Step 2:

Pour the cornstarch mix into the buffalo style sauce and whisk to combine.

Step 3:

Place the pan into the Gozney and allow the mix to come to a boil to thicken. Place into the fridge to cool.

For the gorgonzola cream

Step 1:

Place all the ingredients except the gorgonzola into a bowl and stir to combine.

For the pizza

Step 1:

Liberally oil the pizza pan with olive oil and place the par backed dough back into the tin. Olive the crust of the dough for a nice crispy crust too.

Step 2:

Place some of the aged mozzarella, fior di latte, slice onion and chicken onto the pizza. Drizzle with olive oil.

Step 3:

Place the pizza into the Gozney, turn the flame off and close the door. Set timer for 3 minutes, open the door and rotate the pizza. Return to the Gozney for another 3 minutes.
