Steps:
- Whisk together yeast, sugar, and warm water in a small bowl. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Mix together flour and salt. Add olive oil, yeast mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix with a wooden spoon until the dough just begins to come together.

- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Grease a 9-inch round baking pan with olive oil. Place the dough into the pan. Stretch the dough by gently flattening the dough ball. Use a fork to poke holes across the surface of the dough.
- Brush the dough with olive oil. Spread tomato sauce evenly on top of the dough.

- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted, and the crust is golden brown.

Steps:

- Heat the oven to 425°F with the pizza stone in the oven. Heat an extra 10-15 minutes to ensure the stone is thoroughly heated.

Steps:
- For the pizza dough: Pour the flour, water and yeast into the bowl of a stand mixer and mix for 2 1/2 minutes. Scrape the bottom of the bowl and mix for another 2 1/2 minutes. Throw sea salt on top of the mixed dough; cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes. Uncover and mix in 1-minute increments until the dough passes the "window test" to verify gluten development (see Cook's Note).
- Leave the dough in the mixing bowl. Cover and refrigerate until it doubles in size, about 2 hours.
- For the Cuban pork: Process the orange juice, white onion, garlic, lemon juice, lime juice, oregano, cumin, salt and pepper in a blender. Continue to blend, streaming in the oil. Transfer to a bowl and add the pork. Marinate overnight, refrigerated.
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
- Pour the pork and marinade into a Dutch oven and braise in the oven, covered, for 12 hours. Let meat rest, then shred.
- For the pickles: Slice cucumbers 1/4-inch thick. Place in a storage container along with the dill.
- Combine the vinegar, salt and turmeric in a medium saucepan. Make a sachet with the pepper, mustard seeds and garlic and add it to the saucepan. Bring to a boil, then remove the pan from heat. Add the ice and allow to cool fully before removing the sachet and pouring the liquid over the cucumbers. Make sure all ingredients are submerged in the brine and refrigerate. Let sit at least 24 hours before using.
- For the pizza: Preheat a wood-fired pizza oven to 750 degrees F or a regular oven to the highest it will go, 500 to 550 degrees F. Place a pizza stone in the regular oven, if you have one.
- Oil a 300-gram ball pizza dough (save the rest for another use) and stretch into a pizza round, then top with 100 grams Cuban pork. Top with shredded cheese and shaved ham.
- Bake, checking occasionally, until the crust is cooked through, about 8 minutes. Let cool 1 to 2 minutes.
- Stir together mayo and mustard in a bowl. Top pizza with pickles and Dijon mayo.

Steps:
- 1 We mix the ingredients and when they are well-integrated we knead for 10 minutes, stretching and folding the dough so that it gets enough air and gets spongy enough.
- 2 After 10 minutes we make a ball with the dough and we put it in a container, we cover it with a clean cloth and we let it ferment for 2 hours, until it doubles in size.
- 3 We grease the bottom of a frying pan with just a few drops of oil and we save it for later.
- 4 We remove the dough from the container and we hit it a little to eliminate any excess air.
- 5 We give it a round shape, a little squished, to put it on the pan. We pour the tomato sauce, the grated cheese and the ham chopped in cubes.
- 6 We take the frying pan to the stove, cover it, and cook it on medium heat for 20 minutes. After this time, our Cuban pizza will be ready, with a spongy texture, the bottom and the crust golden and crunchy.

CUBAN PIZZA
This is the most delicious homemade pizza I've eaten. It's a borrowed recipe I tweaked to make lower sodium. It is versatile. It makes a lot of sauce, so you can either make the whole lot or you can make a couple of pizzas and freeze the remaining sauce and use when you are short on time. You can use whatever cheeses and toppings you want in whatever amounts you want. It's really a recipe that is "add to taste." It can be spicy or not. It might take a little work to make the sauce, but it's well worth it!!!
