Mix the dough ingredients in a large bowl to form a shaggy dough. Cover and let rest for 1 hour.

With wet hands, stretch and fold the dough onto itself in the bowl 6 to 8 times, rotating a quarter turn each time. Cover and rest for 1 hour. Repeat the stretch and fold 6 to 8 times for a total of 3 sets at 1 hour intervals. (Two sets would be adequate if you’re short on time).

Place the dough into a well-oiled pan right after the last set of stretch and folds. Leave the pan in a closed conventional oven (turned off) with a bowl of ice to keep it cool. In the morning, the dough should more than double.

Fire up your gas-powered Ooni Pizza Oven on high for 10 minutes, aiming for 550 to 600°F (287 to 315°C).

Generously drizzle olive oil on top of the risen dough. Dimple the dough with your fingers by poking the dough sporadically to the bottom of the pan. Add herbs, garlic and salt on top as desired.

Turn the oven to its lowest setting and place the pan in the oven. Parbake for 5 minutes, turning halfway for an even cook.

Turn off the flames and cook in the residual heat for another 3 to 4 minutes until the base has set.

Remove the pan and return the oven to its highest setting. Preheat for 15 minutes and aim for 700°F (371°C).

In a blender or food processor, blend the plum tomatoes and tomato pesto until a smooth purée forms. If you find the consistency too thin, simmer in a pan until it reduces to your desired thickness.

On the parbaked crust, layer the meats, then top them with mozzarella, Cheddar, and grated Pecorino Romano. To create the cheese crown, place extra cheese high up along the edges. Top the pizza with three horizontal lines of tomato purée (roughly 8 tablespoons).

Turn the oven to its lowest flame and place the pan inside. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, turning the pan every 30 seconds until evenly browned.

Remove the pan and gently loosen the edges with a fish spatula or a knife to keep the cheese crown intact. Transfer to a rack to cool for a few minutes before serving.
