Wild Broccoli, Sausage and Mozzarella Neapolitan Pizza

During my last trip to Italy one of the wood fired pizza restaurant in Florence served a Wild Broccoli, Sausage and Fresh Mozzarella Pizza. It is was simply succulent!

I have been trying to reproduce this master piece and after much trial, here we are.

Ingredients:

– 1 Double Zero Neapolitan Flour dough ball 250gr, 8 to 9 oz for 12″ pizza

– 1 bunch of wild broccoli

– 1 lb of Fresh ground pork

– 1 lb of Fresh Mozzarella cheese

– Salt

– Pepper

– Garlic powder

Recipe:

  1. Heat-up you oven to Neapolitan Pizza temperature. I suggest 750 F on the floor and 900 F + on the dome
  2. Steam the wild broccoli until they are very soft
  3. Sauté the ground pork with a little salt, fresh ground pepper and garlic powder to taste
  4. Stretch the dough to get a 12″ pizza
  5. No sauce, I know it is crazy but no sauce
  6. Place about 3 oz of sausage and 2 oz of fresh mozzarella
  7. Cut in half and place the broccoli branches across the pizza
  8. Cook for about 90 second

Bon appétit!
