Instructions for 5 Dough Balls:

1. Prepare the Dough: 

• In a large bowl, add half of flour and the yeast mixture (water + yeast) and mix well. 
• Then add the salt and remaining flour. 
• Dump the mixture onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8 to 10 minutes. 
• Drizzle the bottom of the bowl with olive oil, place the dough back into the bowl, and dash a bit more olive oil on top.

2. Let the Dough Rise: 

• Cover the bowl with a dishcloth and set it in the sun or another warm place for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the dough has doubled in size — whichever comes first.

3. Divide the Dough: 

• Divide the bulk-proofed dough into five 250-gram or four 330-gram pieces. 
• Ball up the dough, ensuring the tops of the balls are smooth. 
• Brush each ball with olive oil or warm water, cover with a dishcloth, and rest in a warm place for 15 to 20 minutes, or until doubled in size.

4. Preheat Your Oven:

4.1 Preheat your Glowen Raptor or Dragon pizza oven to 450°C (842°F). Measure the temperature at the middle of the stone using a Glowen IR thermometer.
 
5 Prepare the Dough:

5.1 Take the pizza dough out of the Dough Proofing Boxes.

5.2 Spread it to the desired size, preferably 30cm (12 inches), to create your pizza base. Leave a bit of space around the edges for a nice crust.

 
6. Layer the Toppings:

6.1 First, you gently spread the tomato sauce over the pizza in a circular motion.
6.2 Put the chorizo 
6.3 After that, put on the mozzarella (about 100g)
6.4 Some onion for the finish  
 
7. Baking process

7.1 Place the pizza in the preheated oven.
7.2 Wait a few seconds to allow the bottom of the pizza to warm up.
7.3 Safely turn the pizza using a pizza peel or spatula.
7.4 Bake for approximately 30 seconds on each turn, or until the crust turns a 7.5 beautiful golden brown (avoid blackening).
 
8. Final Touch 

Once the pizza is baked to perfection, remove it from the oven and drizzle some Hot Honey all over the pizza.
