This indulgent little pizza is the perfect way to showcase fresh Italian buffalo mozzarella. Chef Rosanna Marziale cuts the base for the pizza and the strips from a large 1kg ball of mozarella. If you cannot obtain a ball of this size, use a smaller one and stretch it as close to the dimensions as you can.
