Ingredients
- For the Dough:
- 2 3/4 cups flour
- 1 tbsp. kosher salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp active dry yeast
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- For the Pizza:
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 cup fresh ricotta
- 1 cup finely grated pecorino romano
- 2 tsp black pepper
- Kosher salt
Directions
-
Make the dough: Combine the flour, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and pour in the warm water. Sprinkle the sugar and yeast over the water and let stand until bubbling, 5-10 minutes. Pour the olive oil into the well, then stir with a wooden spoon to make a shaggy dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, tightly cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
-
Make the pizza: One hour before baking, put a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 500. On a lightly floured surface, stretch the dough into a 12-inch round. Transfer the dough to a well-floured pizza peel or another inverted baking sheet. Dot with the ice and drizzle with 2 tbsp. olive oil. Slide the pizza onto the hot stone. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the ice melts, 12-13 minutes.

Transfer the pizza to a cutting board and cover with small spoonfuls of the ricotta. Sprinkle with the pecorino and pepper; drizzle with the remaining 2 tbsp. olive oil on top and season with salt.
