Cooking Steps

• Follow the easy no-knead pizza recipe through step 5, including shaping the pizza and preheating the oven.
• If using fresh mozzarella cheese in water, cut it into ½ inch thick pieces. If it's very watery, dab the mozzarella with paper towel to remove excess moisture.
• Place the dough on a parchment paper sheet and starting from the center, gently press it out with your fingers until you get approximately a 9×13 inch pizza. Then gently place the dough onto a pizza peel or onto the back of a rimmed baking sheet.
• Add all brine ingredients to a glass jar with a lid. Shake until well emulsified.
• Once the dough is stretched out, make a few dimples with your fingers, scatter the brine evenly over the dough, trying to fill the dimples with it. Add the mozzarella cheese.
• Use the pizza peel to carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone. Bake until the cheese and crust are nicely browned, about 8-10 minutes in a forced fan oven. Each oven is different, so keep an eye on it.
• Top your freshly baked pizza with the fresh lemon juice, then sprinkle the parmesan cheese and the parsley. Finish with more black pepper or a touch of chilli flakes if desired. Slice and serve immediately.
