  1. Crumb of first pizza was light and delicious, but a little more “bready” than the second one.

    **Ingredients (1 pizza) :**

    T00 flour : 125g

    Water : 70g

    Starter : 81g (100% hydration)

    Salt : 5g

    **Sauce & Toppings (per pizza) :**

    Tomato sauce : 100g (with dried oregano, chile flakes, salt)

    Pecorino romano : 10g

    Mozzarella : 80g

    Chorizo

    (Basil : a few leaves)

    **Recipe :**

    1. Mix water, starter, flour, salt (1 mn max).
    2. Rest 20 mn.
    3. Slap and fold to create a smooth ball.
    4. Bulk ferment a little (should increase a bit, say +25/50%). Here ~3/4h at ~23°C.
    5. Divide and shape pizza ball.
    6. Final proof for ~4/5h at ~22/23°C (not sure if too much or enough here. I just wait for dough to expand enough).
    7. Pre-heat oven and pizza stone at ~240°C (higher is better). Use grill for the last 10 mn.
    8. Shape pizza and add tomato sauce.
    9. Turn grill off and bake 4 mn.
    10. Add pecorino romano, mozzarella, basil and olive oil.
    11. Bake 2 mn grill still off, and 2 mn grill on.
