CACIO E PEPE WHITE PIZZA

Steps:

• Place one pizza stone on the bottom rack of your oven and another one on the top rack. Preheat the oven for 1 hour at 500 degrees F or on broil. This will help the stones absorb some heat and give you an extra 50 to 100 degrees.
• Mix the ricotta, 1/4 cup of the Parmigiano and the whipping cream in a medium bowl.
• Sprinkle a little flour or semolina on a wooden pizza peel. Stretch the dough into a 12-to-14-inch circular shape and place it on the pizza peel. Brush the crust with the oil.
• Spread the ricotta mixture in an even layer over the pizza. (If there is a little leftover, you can use for a dip for the crusts!) Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the ricotta, and then lay slices of the fresh mozzarella on top. Top the pizza with 1 teaspoon pepper and 2 tablespoons of the Parmigiano.
• Slide the pizza onto the bottom pizza stone and let cook until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is brown and bubbling, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Top the pizza with remaining 2 tablespoons Parmigiano, 1 teaspoon pepper and season with salt. Slice and serve with any remaining ricotta mixture.

CACIO E PEPE PIZZA

Steps:

• Make the dough: Combine the flour, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and pour in the warm water. Sprinkle the sugar and yeast over the water and let stand until bubbling, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour the olive oil into the well, then stir with a wooden spoon to make a shaggy dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, tightly cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
• Make the pizza: One hour before baking, put a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 500 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface, stretch the dough into a 12-inch round. Transfer the dough to a well-floured pizza peel or another inverted baking sheet. Dot with the ice and drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Slide the pizza onto the hot stone. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the ice melts, 12 to 13 minutes.
• Transfer the pizza to a cutting board and cover with small spoonfuls of the ricotta. Sprinkle with the pecorino and pepper; drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil on top and season with salt.

Steps:

• Make the pizza dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour and warm water and stir with your hands until a shaggy mass forms (it will be a little dry, but will hydrate after resting). Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let the dough rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Uncover the bowl and sprinkle the yeast and salt over the dough. Stir with a wooden spoon until the yeast and salt are evenly distributed.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until a smooth ball forms, about 10 minutes. It will be very sticky because of the high hydration. Try not to use too much extra flour; instead use a bench scraper or flat metal spatula to scrape the dough from the surface and continue kneading. You can also dip your palms in flour to help keep the dough from sticking.
• Grease a clean large bowl with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then place the dough in the bowl, cover with the kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 90 minutes. Remove the towel and loosely cover the bowl with plastic wrap, then place in the refrigerator overnight.
• Make the Parmesan cream: Add the ricotta, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and heavy cream to a blender and blend on medium speed until just combined, about 15 seconds. Transfer to a zip-top bag and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let come to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C). Place a baking sheet, upside down, in the center of the oven while it preheats.
• Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over a clean baking sheet.
• Transfer the dough from the bowl to the oiled baking sheet. Gently use your hands to stretch it into a 12-inch round. Place the crushed ice in the center of the dough.
• Place the baking sheet with the pizza in the oven on top of the inverted baking sheet. Bake until the edges begin to crisp and the pizza dough is light golden in color, about 8 minutes.
• Remove the pizza from the oven and arrange the mozzarella slices evenly on top, then sprinkle with the Pecorino Romano.
• Return the pizza to the oven and continue baking until the cheese is completely melted, about 4 minutes more.
• Remove the pizza from the oven and use a pepper mill to evenly grind the black pepper over the entire pizza.
• Cut a ½-inch opening from the corner of the zip-top bag with the Parmesan cream, then drizzle in a circular pattern over the pizza.
• Slice into 8 pieces and serve.
• Enjoy!

CHEESES PIZZA

Steps:

• Place a pizza stone or tiles on the middle rack of your oven and turn heat to its highest setting. Let it heat for at least an hour.
• Drizzle the cream over the stretched dough. Break the mozzarella into large pieces and gently place these on the dough. Break the taleggio into pieces and do the same. Grind an exceptional amount of black pepper onto the surface of the pie, approximately 8 to 10 grinds.
• Using a pizza peel, pick up the pie and slide it onto the heated stone or tiles in the oven. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling, approximately 4 to 8 minutes.
• Scatter the Parmesan over the pizza and serve immediately.

CACIO E PEPE

Steps:

• Cook the pasta for 2 mins less than pack instructions state, in salted boiling water. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium frying pan over a low heat, then add the ground black pepper and toast for a few minutes.
• Drain the pasta, keeping 200ml of the pasta water. Tip the pasta and 100ml of the pasta water into the pan with the butter and pepper. Toss briefly, then scatter over the parmesan evenly, but don't stir - wait for the cheese to melt for 30 seconds, then once melted, toss everything well, and stir together. This prevents the cheese from clumping or going stringy and makes a smooth, shiny sauce. Add a splash more pasta water if you need to, to loosen the sauce and coat the pasta. Serve immediately with a good grating of black pepper.
