For the Pizza
Step 1
To prepare the dough, remove it from the refrigerator and allow it to rest at room temperature for 2½–3 hours. Preheat the Gozney to 280°C / 540°F.
Step 2
To prepare the work area, lightly flour your surface and pizza peel. To shape the base, place the dough on the floured surface and gently press with your fingertips from the centre outwards in a circular motion, keeping an even thickness. Stop about 1.5cm / ½in from the edge to form the crust. Lightly dust any sticky or damp areas with flour. Once you can comfortably fit your hand inside the bordered area, move to stretching.
Step 3
To stretch, lift the dough and work it to an 18in circle, ensuring even thickness, then place on the lightly floured peel.
Making the Green Sauce
Step 1
To prepare the greens, add the basil, baby spinach, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and black pepper to a blender.
Step 2
To make the sauce, blitz until smooth and vibrant green, adding a little cold water or extra olive oil until you reach a loose, spoonable consistency.
Step 3
Spread a thin layer directly onto stretched pizza dough before adding toppings.
To Finish the Pizza
Step 1
Spoon the Green Sauce into the centre and spread evenly outwards with the back of the ladle, stopping about 2.5cm / 1in from the edge.
Step 2
Sprinkle evenly with the Parmigiano Reggiano.
Step 3
To add the cheese, arrange the Caciocavallo slices evenly across the sauce layer, leaving the centre lightly topped to avoid drooping once baked. The sauce should still be visible between slices. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with oregano.
Step 4
Slide the pizza into the oven and cook for 9½–10 minutes, rotating 180° halfway through if needed for even cooking.
Step 5
Remove the pizza and place it on a cooling screen or wire rack for about 3 minutes. Drizzle with more olive oil, slice into 6–8 pieces, and enjoy hot.
