Directions
- 1Mix together the lukewarm water and instant yeast. Set aside and let the yeast bloom (become bubbly) for about 10 minutes.
- 2Mix the Tipo 00 flour and fine sea salt in a bowl, then pour in the yeast mixture. Knead for 10-12 minutes until smooth and elastic, using the window pane test to check for readiness.
- 3Place the kneaded dough into an oiled bowl and leave to rest in the fridge for 24-48 hours until it doubles in size.
- 4Remove the dough from the fridge, portion it into 4 balls, then cover and leave to rest for 4-6 hours until doubled in size.
- 5Drain the mozzarella by tearing it into small pieces and placing it in a sieve over a bowl.
- 6Open a can of peeled tomatoes and transfer them to a small bowl.
- 7Add a clove of garlic to the tomatoes and blend them to create a basic tomato sauce.
- 8Slice the chorizo into thin rounds.
- 9Take a portion of the dough, sprinkle some semolina on the counter, and use your hands to press the dough ball into a disc, starting in the middle and working outwards to form the pizza base.
- 10Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza base.
- 11Distribute the torn mozzarella pieces over the sauce.
- 12Add shredded cheese over the mozzarella.
- 13Grate parmesan cheese over the pizza.
- 14Place the sliced chorizo on top of the cheese.
- 15Transfer the prepared pizza to a preheated pizza oven using a pizza peel and cook until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- 16Sprinkle the cooked pizza with some salt and pepper, and a grating of Parmesan before serving.

Tips
- The longer the dough proofs (24-48 hours), the more flavor it will develop.
- When shaping the pizza base, start pressing from the middle and work outwards.
- If using a regular oven, preheat a baking sheet to the highest heat possible and cook for 6-8 minutes until crisp on the bottom and the crust is golden brown.
