Buricotta with Peperonata and Oregano
- 1 round of Nancys Pizza Dough (page 126)
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt
- 1 cup peperonata (see page 87)
- 4 ounces buricotta, cut into 4 equal segments, or fresh ricotta
- 1 teaspoon fresh oregano leaves
- Finishing-quality extra-virgin olive oil, about 1 tablespoon
- Maldon sea salt or another flaky sea salt, such as fleur de sel
- Prepare and stretch the dough and preheat the oven according to the instructions given in Nancys Scuola di Pizza (page 128).
- Brush the rim of the dough with the olive oil and season the entire surface with salt.
- Spread the peperonata over the pizza, leaving a 1-inch rim without any topping.
- If you are using ricotta, put it in a bowl and stir it vigorously to fluff it up.
- Place one segment of the buricotta or spoon the ricotta into each quadrant of the pizza.
- Slide the pizza into the oven and bake until the crust is golden brown and crispy, 8 to 12 minutes.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and cut it into quarters, taking care not to cut through the cheese.
- Scatter the oregano leaves over the pizza, drizzle the finishing-quality olive oil over the cheese, sprinkle with sea salt, and serve.
