Method

  1. 1

    Freeze grated butter at least 30 minutes. Mix and knead dough ingredients; rise 30 minutes. Roll out, scatter most butter over two-thirds and fold in thirds.

  2. 2

    Add reserved butter and give another fold. Roll gradually to fit a 33 × 46cm tray, resting or chilling whenever the dough resists.

  3. 3

    Rest in the tray 15 minutes, stretch to the edges, then proof another 15–30 minutes. Add sauce, Parmesan and both mozzarella portions.

  4. 4

    Bake at 245°C/475°F for 15–17 minutes. Finish with Parmesan and the mixed garlic-basil oil.
