Pizza al taglio is a large, Italian style rectangular pizza that’s absolutely delicious. The dough is light and airy yet has a crispy crust on the bottom. Since it’s so big, I love mapping out four different flavor zones. Once baked, it’s sliced into squares and reheated as necessary.
Add flour and yeast from the Delallo Pizza Kit to a large mixing bowl and add 1 ¼ cup lukewarm water. Stir together with a fork until lose dough starts to form.
Knead for 3 minutes then place in a clean, oiled bowl (using 1 tablespoon olive oil) and tightly cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm area for 45 minutes or until the dough has tripled in size.
Preheat oven to 450F degrees.
Meanwhile, use the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to grease a half-sized baking sheet (also known as a regular cookie sheet). Add dough and stretch it from end to end and corner to corner.
Add sauce to the middle of the pizza, leaving room for a thin crust around the edges. Cover the whole pizza with low moisture mozzarella.
Add each topping zone (leaving off the honey, pine nuts, and basil) length wise to create 4 rectangular quadrants.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is golden and melted and the pizza has a crispy bottom crust.
Remove from heat and drizzle the hot soppresata side with honey, add the pine nuts to the eggplant side and add basil to the whole pie.
Serve immediately or reheat in the oven as needed.
