Procedure
0. Dissolve the yeast in room temperature water. Gradually add the flour and begin kneading. Once the dough has formed, add the salt and finally the oil (optional). Knead for 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Let it rest, covered, for 30 minutes, then fold it once or twice in the bowl every 15 minutes. Cover tightly (with plastic wrap or a lid) and let it rise for 8 hours at 22–24°C in a draft-free place.
1. After 8 hours, divide the dough into 2 balls of about 280 g each, cover them with a cloth and let them rest for 30 minutes before rolling them out.
2. Guanciale: Cut into strips and dry-fry in a pan until crispy. Set aside on paper towels. Passata: Season with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt (or heat gently for 5 minutes). Mozzarella: Drain well and dice.
3. Preheat the oven to 250°C (480°F) with a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet inside. Spread the pizzas out with your hands, leaving a thick crust. Top with tomato sauce, a few cubes of mozzarella, and some of the guanciale (not all). Bake in the lower third of the oven for 7–10 minutes, until the edges are puffed and golden. Once removed from the oven, add the remaining crispy guanciale, sprinkle with grated pecorino cheese, and a generous sprinkling of black pepper.
