Step 1

Preheat the Gozney to 400°C / 752°F and place a cast iron pan into the oven until hot.

Step 2

To prepare the charred herb salsa, add the parsley, rosemary, thyme, garlic and half of the extra virgin olive oil to the hot cast iron pan. Place the pan back into the oven for 3-5 minutes until nicely charred. Remove from the oven and tip the herbs onto a chopping board. Finely chop everything together and place into a bowl. Add the Calabrian chilli paste and lemon zest, season generously, and stir in the remaining extra virgin olive oil. Set aside.

Step 3

To prepare the pizza, shape the dough by pushing the air to the crust. Spread the cream over the base and top with the Parmesan, Fontina and mozzarella.

Step 4

To cook the pizza, launch it into the oven and bake for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally until evenly browned.

Step 5

To finish, slice the pizza and top with the blue cheese and drizzle over the charred herb salsa and serve.
