Sticky beef and hot-honey pizza with kimchi-mozzarella stuffed crust
This stuffed-crust pizza is full of gooey mozzarella and tart kimchi, and topped with sweet and sticky soy-glazed beef. It's a truly maximalist pizza – but surprisingly easy to make at home. The soft and supple dough is made with Allinson's Strong White Bread Flour. If you don't have a pizza oven, this can also be made in a regular oven preheated for an hour at its highest setting. The pizza will take about 10–15 minutes to cook.

Method
Begin by preparing the hot honey
Bring all of the spices, chillies and honey to a simmer over a medium heat, stirring frequently
- 3 tbsp of chilli flakes
- 2 jalapeños , finely sliced
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 250ml of honey
Remove from the heat and stir in the apple cider vinegar and a pinch of flaky sea salt
- 1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar
- 1 pinch of flaky sea salt
Leave to cool then store in a jar until serving
For the pizza dough, mix the flour, yeast, sugar and salt together in a big mixing bowl
- 500g of Allinson's Strong White Bread Flour
- 7g of Allinson's Easy Bake Yeast , 1 sachet
- 1 tsp Billington's Golden Caster Sugar
- 2 tsp salt
Mix the water and oil together, then stir into the dry ingredients
- 300ml of warm water
- 50ml of olive oil, plus extra for greasing
Tip the pizza dough onto a lightly flour-dusted surface and knead for 10 minutes (or use the dough hook attachment on your stand mixer for 5 minutes)
Lightly grease the mixing bowl with some oil
Put the dough back in, cover the bowl with a clean tea towel and leave to rise until doubled in size
Meanwhile, prepare the sticky beef
Remove the flank steak from the fridge and let it come to room temperature
- 500g of flank steak, finely sliced
In a large bowl whisk together the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ginger, garlic, red chilli flakes and honey
- 3 tbsp of soy sauce
- 1 tbsp of Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp finely grated ginger
- 1 garlic clove , grated
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
- 3 tbsp of honey
Add the sesame oil to a pan over a medium-high heat
- 1 tbsp of sesame oil
Add in the flank steak, searing the pieces on both sides for a couple of minutes until brown
Reduce the heat to low and add in the sauce
Cook the steak with the sauce for about 10 minutes over a low heat, or until the sauce reduces to a glaze
Preheat your pizza oven for cooking the pizza
To prepare the tomato sauce, mix together the tomato passata, chopped basil, oregano and sugar in a large bowl before seasoning to taste with salt and pepper
- 300ml of passata
- 1 bunch of fresh basil , roughly chopped
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp cane sugar
- salt and pepper , to taste
Once risen, divide the dough into two pieces – while you're working on one piece, keep the other one under the tea towel to stop it drying out
Roll a piece of dough out as thin as you can get it on a lightly-floured surface, then transfer it to a pizza peel dusted with semolina
- semolina, for dusting
Add a ring of kimchi and mozzarella strips around the dough, about 2 cm from the edge
- 150g of kimchi
- 250g of fior di latte mozzarella , sliced into thin strips
Fold the crust over the kimchi and mozzarella, then press and seal it with your fingers
Add the tomato passata, sliced mozzarella and sticky beef to the middle of the pizza
- 125g of fior di latte mozzarella , sliced
Cook in the pizza oven for around 1 minute, turning every 10 seconds, or until bubbly and cooked through
Garnish with a generous drizzle of the hot honey
