Dough

Start by mixing 90% of the water with the yeast, letting the yeast dissolve completely. Mix all three flour types together in a bowl. Add 50% of the flour.
Mix to the yeast water and mix briefly. Then, gradually, add the rest of the flour. When the dough starts to come together after about 4-5 minutes, add the salt and half of the remaining water.
Once the salt has been incorporated, gradually add the rest of the water and the oil and mix for a bit. The total mixing time should be about 15 minutes.
Leave the dough to rest for two hours. Take it out of the container and fold it a few times to give it strength. Put the dough in a plastic container and let it rest covered with clingfilm at room temperature for one hour. Then store it in the refrigerator for 18-24 hours to let the yeast work its magic. Before baking, take the dough out of the refrigerator and let it reach room temperature.

Making the pizza

First, add a good bit of flour to your work surface and pour the dough from the container onto the flour. Gently stretch the dough into an oval shape. Bake the base for 4 minutes at 280-300°C with just a drizzle of good olive oil. After 4 minutes, add the mozzarella sticks, tomatoes, red onions and the pancetta and cook for another 4-5 minutes. When the crust is perfectly golden brown and crispy, take out the focaccia and add the pecorino cheese and a few leaves of fresh basil. Drizzle with olive oil and you’re ready to serve.
