Mangalitsa Chef's Pizza Dough


Bryce Lamba, aka Mangalitsa Chef gave me his Mangalitsa lard-based pizza dough recipe. It is similar to Jimmy Fiala's focccacia recipe, in that it uses Mangalitsa lard.

Actually, he didn't "give" me the recipe. He sent it to me, and then the next time he saw me, he essentially coerced me into giving him a packet of Rufus's excellent Mangalitsa ham. It was my last packet, which (like the last stick of gum) is worth 5x every previous packet.
