Recreating NYC’s $8 Pizza Slice That Broke The Internet | Anything with Alvin

Welcome to the episode where we recreate the spicy pepperoni pizza from Prince Street Pizza.

We're making the dough in a food processor. Combine 500 g of bread flour, 1 tablespoon of kosher salt, 4 g of yeast, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and 1.5 cups of water.

Process the ingredients in the food processor until the dough forms.

Press the dough into a greased 9x13 inch pan with a thicker edge.

Let the dough rest and proof for about 1 to 2 hours until it doubles in size.

For the sauce, use canned tomatoes, salt, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Simmer until reduced, then blend until smooth.

Slice the pepperoni very thick, about 1/4 inch, as it will shrink in the oven.

Cut fresh mozzarella into very thin slices for the pizza base.

Once the dough has risen, press it into the edges of the pan to create a lip.

Top the dough with a thin layer of mozzarella cheese, followed by a good amount of sauce, and then the pepperoni slices.

Grate pecorino cheese on top before baking.

Bake in a preheated oven at 450°F for about 20 minutes, checking visually for doneness.

Remove the pizza from the pan and let it cool on a rack before cutting.
