Ingredients: 1 cup warm water; 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast; 1 tbsp sugar; 1 tbsp olive oil; 1 1/2 tsp salt; 3 cups all-purpose flour; 2 garlic cloves; 1/3 cup pistachios; Heaping 1/2 cup grated parmesan; 2 cups fresh basil; 1/2 cup olive oil; 2 tsp lemon juice; Salt to taste; 20-24 slices of thinly shaved mortadella; 4 cups shredded mozzarella; 2 Burrata (torn); Finely chopped pistachios; Fresh basil; Truffle oil (optional)

Instructions

To prepare dough:

Mix warm water, yeast, sugar and olive oil in a measuring glass. Allow to sit for 5 minutes for the yeast to bloom.
In a large bowl, combine flour and salt.
When the yeast is bloomed, add the yeast mixture to the flour and stir until it becomes a shaggy dough.
Transfer dough to a work surface, and knead for about 10 minutes or until it becomes a smooth dough.
Add dough to a greased bowl and cover with a kitchen towel and allow to rise for 1 hour.

In a food processor, first blitz the nuts, cheese and garlic until it's a fine crumb.
Then add in your basil, and blitz it until it the basil is fully combined.
Stream in olive oil until it forms the consistency of pesto, add in your lemon juice, and season with salt to taste.

To assemble pizza:

Preheat oven to 450 F. While your oven is preheating, you can add in your pizza stone or steel so it can warm up.
Split the dough into 2 (it makes 2 pizzas) and roll out thin. You want to leave an outer ring of the pizza that's slightly thicker so that you have a nice crust.
Add a layer of your pesto and spread evenly. Add on 2 cups of shredded mozzarella.
Transfer your pizza to your pizza steel and cook for about 18-20 minutes or until it's golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Slice your pizza into 6-8 slices and top with 10-12 mortadella slices. Tear your burrata into bite-sized pieces and add to your pizza in any empty spots. Sprinkle with finely sliced basil, crushed pistachios and a drizzle of truffle oil.
Repeat the steps for the 2nd pizza and enjoy!
