I Attempted the Iconic LUCALI PIZZA RECIPE At Home

It's hard to find details about Mark Iacono's famous Lucali pizza recipe. I scoured the internet looking for dough making tips that could help produce something that resembles this iconic, thin crust pizza. Somehow, I managed to cobble together enough information to develop a pizza recipe that's definitely worth a try. This unique pizza has a wide, crispy outer crust with a thin dough profile from edge to edge. I used a straight dough approach with a 36 to 48 hour cold fermentation. The pizza sauce is gently cooked (recipe below) and a blend of whole milk, semi-dry mozzarella, Buffalo milk mozzarella and grated parmesan cheese is used. Mark's signature pizza is a Margherita that's covered by generous amounts of fresh basil and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Lucali pizza is baked in a large brick oven that uses seasoned hardwood for heat. I tried to replicate this by using a small, countertop pizza oven and some premium, mini cut pizza wood from Cutting Edge Firewood. I think the results could definitely compete with the real deal.
