Ingredients
Home-kitchen amounts for 2–3 — standard home-cooking quantities for this dish, not the chain’s recipe (chains do not publish theirs). Difficulty: Medium.
- Pan dough: 2½ cups (375 g) plain flour, 1 tbsp dry milk powder, 1 tbsp sugar, 2¼ tsp instant yeast, 1 tsp salt, 1 cup (250 ml) warm water, 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil, for the pan
- ½ cup (125 ml) BBQ sauce
- 200 g mozzarella, grated (low-moisture, grated from a block)
- 80 g pepperoni slices
- 80 g cooked Italian sausage, crumbled
- 80 g cooked bacon, chopped
- 80 g sliced leg ham
- 1 tbsp grated parmesan
Method
- Whisk the flour, dry milk powder, sugar, yeast and salt together. Add the water and oil and knead 5–7 minutes until smooth. Cover and rise 1–1.5 hours until doubled.
- Pour the oil into a 28 cm round cake pan or cast-iron skillet and tilt so it coats the bottom and climbs the sides. Press the dough to the edges. Rest 20 minutes. Heat the oven to 240°C.
- Spread the BBQ sauce to the edge. Scatter half the mozzarella, then the pepperoni, sausage, bacon and ham, then the rest of the mozzarella and the parmesan.
- Bake 15–18 minutes until the edge is deep golden and the cheese is bubbling.
- Rest 3 minutes in the pan, then slide out, slice and serve. Tip: cook the sausage and bacon before they go on — raw meat steams the base soggy — and use BBQ sauce as the base, not tomato; a Meatlovers on tomato sauce is just a Supreme with a different name.
