Step 1

Place a heavy based / cast-iron pan in your Dome or Roccbox at 400°C and get it up to temperature.

Step 2

Add 100ml olive oil to the pan, followed by the clams and the white wine.

Step 3

Place in your Gozney oven with full flame on until the clams are open. Drain the clams in a sieve set over a bowl.

Sweat down the shallots until translucent then add in the grated garlic and cook off for a minute. Add in the quartered Datterini tomatoes. Finally add in the ’nduja, butter, clams & cooking liquid. Reduce until sauce consistency, check seasoning. Allow to cool before using.

Stretch out the dough (simple pizza dough recipe) and top with the clam mix. Bake at 400°C. Remove from the oven add some basil and a good squeeze of lemon juice and olive oil. Enjoy!
