Ann Kim's Lady Zaza Pizza
Here's How to Make Ann Kim's Lady Zaza Pizza from the Netflix Show "Chef's Table: Pizza". This is a somewhat simpler version of Chef Ann Kim's creation, mostly because it uses store-bought kimchi. It is the best way to get a Lady Zaza Pizza without having to go to Minneapolis. It is spicy, but approachable.

Instructions
Preheat Conventional Home Oven
- I baked this in a conventional home oven. I have a pizza stone on the bottom rack, and a pizza steel on the top rack. The oven gets preheated to 525º F, and then holds for one hour before baking the pizza. (If your oven will go to 550º, do that.)
Spicy Korean Sausage
- Add ground pork to a bowl and mix all of the dry spices together.
- Add the spices, ginger, and garlic to the pork and mix together.
- Mix together squeezing with your hands, like you're making meatloaf or meatballs.
- Cook the mixture in a high-sided pan over medium-high heat, continually breaking up the meat as you go until it is all cooked. Set aside to let cool. Refrigerate if doing a day ahead.

Notes
I baked this in a conventional home oven. I have a pizza stone on the bottom rack, and a pizza steel on the top rack. The oven gets preheated to 525º F, and then holds for one hour before baking the pizza. (If your oven will go to 550º, do that.)
I went for 7 minutes on the stone on the bottom, and then switched to high broil, and moved the pizza to the steel on the top rack for 1-2 minutes - turn it 90 degrees half way through. (Keep an eye on it though. It may need more or less time on broil.)
If you only have a stone, just keep it on the bottom rack the whole time. If you only have a steel, keep it on the top rack, and just switch to broil at the end.
The prep time does not include making and fermenting the dough, which is linked in a separate recipe.
