step by step
Method
- Step 1
Preheat the oven
- Place the baking tray or pizza stone in the oven and heat to the highest setting.
- Step 2
Stretch the dough
- Stretch the pizza dough into a round on a floured surface.
- Transfer it to the hot baking tray.
- Step 3
Add the ice
- Scatter the crushed ice over the raw dough.
- The ice melts in the oven and mixes with the starch from the dough, creating a thin layer of starchy water on top.
- Step 4
Bake the pizza
- Bake until the crust is puffed and golden and a starchy liquid has formed on top.
- Step 5
Make the cacio e pepe sauce
- Pull out the pizza and mix the grated pecorino by hand into the starchy water on top, the same way you would make a pasta sauce.
- Add the butter if using and stir until the sauce is creamy.
- Step 6
Finish and serve
- Grind black pepper generously over the top.
- Drizzle with olive oil and serve immediately.
