Method

  1. Stretch the dough into an oiled rectangular pan and let it relax until airy.

    About 8 min

    Tip: A well-oiled pan is what creates the fried bottom crust.

  2. Cover the dough all the way to the edges with cheese, then add pepperoni and sauce stripes on top.

    About 6 min

    Tip: Cheese touching the pan edge creates the signature frico border.

  3. Bake until the edges are dark bronze and the bottom is crisp, then finish with Parmesan.

    About 6 min

    Tip: Rest a few minutes before slicing so the crumb sets.
