Instructions

Prevent your screen from going dark as you follow along.

Step 1

Add the yeast to the water and quick mix to combine. You can mix by hand but for better results use a mixer.

Step 2

Add the flours and mix to combine for 5 to 7 minutes. Scrape down the mixer as you go. Rest for 5 mins.

Step 3

Turn the mixer onto high and slowly add the 30ml of water (not all at once).

Step 4

Next add the salt and sugar and mix for a further 5 to 7 mins.

Step 5

Place the dough into an oiled bowl, cover and place in the fridge for an hour.

Step 6

Ball the dough and place in the fridge for 24-48 hours.

Step 7

Open up the dough and top lightly with the quince paste. You can use a high-end apple sauce instead.

Step 8

Add mozzarella and the duck confit.

Step 9

Bake in your Gozney Dome or Roccbox at a temperature of 280°C.

Step 10

Once cooked, add your sliced pears and drizzle with truffle oil. Slice and enjoy!
