How to make
Double Pepperoni Pizza
Preheat your oven to its maximum temperature, recommended between 270 and 300°C. The hotter, the better!
Take the 2 pre-prepared dough balls and stretch each one into an individual base by pressing with your fingers and pushing the dough out to the edges. Keep rotating, then very carefully stretch the dough over the backs of your hands into a pizza base shape of approximately 11 to 12 inches in size. If you find this authentic Italian method difficult, do feel free to use a rolling pin.IMPORTANT: if using gluten-free doughballs, please follow the method card on the other QR code provided, to prepare your pizza base. Then proceed as follows below.
When your pizza base is ready, spread the tomato sauce evenly over the top, leaving a border of dough at the edges for the crust.
Add the mozzarella and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Scatter the pepperoni all over your pizza.
Transfer to a pizza stone or baking tray with parchment paper and cook for 6 to 7 minutes. Please be aware that the cooking time will vary depending on oven temperature, so check the pizza frequently to avoid burning. If using a conventional fan oven, the cooking time should be between 7 and 15 minutes. If you are using an Ooni or equivalent pizza oven, cook for approx 60 seconds, following the appliance instructions. Once cooked, tranfer your pizza onto a plate or chopping board, and garnish with the fresh basil.
Your perfectly prepared pizza is ready to enjoy!
Season the yoghurt with black pepper, salt and cumin powder to taste, mix well, then leave to one side.

To dispose of the ice packs, cut them open and pour the gel down the sink – it's totally nontoxic. In fact, you can even use it to give your houseplants a little boost.
