  1. Stretch your dough to roughly 30cm - being careful not to damage the edge (cornicione).

  2. Add your pizza sauce, cheese, the cooked red onions and then a few generous dollops of 'nduja.

  3. Dust your peel with semolina and launch directly onto your baking steel. Bake for around 5 minutes (starting with the grill on) and turning halfway through.
