Calabrese & Sweet Cherry Pepper Bar Pie
  1. Put the flour, salt, sugar and yeast in a large bowl and stir briefly.

  2. Add the water & oil, then mix until everything comes together and there’s no dry flour remaining.

  3. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

  4. After the 30-minute rest, knead the dough by hand for 2 to 3 minutes, until it becomes smoother, tighter and slightly springy.

  5. Cover and let rest for another hour.

  6. Divide the dough into two equal pieces, approximately 7½ ounces each.

  7. Shape into balls, put each in a lightly oiled covered container and let proof at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours.

  8. Generously grease two 10-inch bar-pie pans with Crisco or neutral oil.

  9. Put one dough ball in each pan and gently flatten it a little.

  10. Let it relax in the pan about 30 minutes.

  11. Use your fingertips to gently press the dough all the way to the edges.

  12. Top with half the toppings for each: the sauce, mozzarella, sliced Calabrese, the sliced sweet cherry peppers and a bit more mozzarella.

  13. Preheat the pizza oven until the stone reaches approximately 750°F.

  14. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, rotating the pan regularly for even browning.

  15. Remove from the pan and finish with a drizzle of hot honey and some freshly grated Parmesan.
