## Tips

- The longer you let your dough cold proof, the better the flavor development.
- A pizza like this needs a little bit of balance from the tomato sauce; using straight up oxtail cooking gravy just creates something that isn't really that balanced or popping.
- For a crispy pizza base, a NYC crispy style base makes a lot of sense for a pizza like this.
