Serves: 4
Prep time: 45 mins + 50 hours proofing
Cook time: 45 mins + cooling

Ingredients
Dough
700g (24.7 oz) bread flour
300g (10.6 oz) wholemeal flour
20g (0.7 oz) sugar, for the dough
5g (0.2 oz) dry yeast
570ml (19.3 fl oz) water
25g (0.9 oz) cooking salt
30ml (2 tbsp) olive oil

Lasagne sauce
¼ cup (60ml) olive oil
500g (1lb) beef mince
1 brown onion, finely chopped
1 carrot, grated
6 garlic cloves, finely grated
sea salt and black pepper
1½ tbsp tomato paste
¼ tsp chilli powder
2 cups (500ml) beef stock
⅓ cup (80ml) milk
1 egg yolk
500g mozzarella, sliced
60g Parmesan cheese, grated
⅓ cup flat leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped

Method

For the dough, combine the flours, sugar, yeast and water in a large bowl.
Start mixing by hand to form a dough, then add the cooking salt and olive oil. Knead briefly to distribute.
Knead the dough on a clean workbench for 8-10 minutes, until you have a smooth texture. Place the dough back into the bowl, cover, and refrigerate for 48 hours for slow fermentation.
Remove the dough from the fridge, divide into 260g (9.2 oz) portions and roll into tight balls.
Place them on a greased tray with a lid. Let them prove at room temperature for 2-3 hours.
For the lasagne sauce, heat half the oil in a large heavy based frying pan over medium high heat. Add the beef and cook, until well browned, for 8-10 minutes, breaking up with the back of a wooden spoon.
Heat the remaining oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook the onion and carrot for 5 minutes, until softened, seasoning with salt.
Add the garlic and cook for a further minute. Stir in tomato paste and cook until starting to darken, 2-3 minutes.
Stir in chilli powder then stock. Add the beef mince to the pan and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10-15 minutes, until thickened slightly.
Stir in milk and return to a simmer, then remove from heat. Add egg yolk and stir in quickly to incorporate.
Transfer mixture to a bowl and set aside to cool.
Preheat a pizza oven to 450°C (840°F).
Stretch the dough on a lightly floured surface to fit your pizza peel or baking surface.
Spread some of the lasagne sauce on dough, then top with mozzarella slices and some Parmesan cheese.
Bake for 90 seconds to 2 minutes, aiming for a crispy bottom and golden cheese topping.
Sprinkle some parsley and drizzle with a little olive oil, then slice to serve.
