When a group of elite mid-ams crossed the ocean to play the 2024 Bridges Cup at Haesley in South Korea in October, the competitors weren’t only treated to incredible golf, they also enjoyed some top-notch dining.

Which standout menu item proved to be a true crowd pleaser? Haesley’s stunning Halfway House menu includes a pizza that was a huge hit throughout the event.

What makes the pizza so special? Haesley chef Ji Min Hyeok walked Simon Holmes through his method.

First, Hyeok sprinkled flour on the bottom of the dough to keep it from sticking. Then, he stretched and flattened the dough, creating a slightly thicker crust around the edges.

Two ladles of a thin tomato-based sauce were then added and distributed evenly on the pizza dough, followed by a sprinkles of parmesan cheese and some basil leaves. Next, Hyeok covered the pizza surface with thick strips of mozzarella cheese and topped it all off with extra-virgin olive oil.

With the toppings complete, the pizza was ready to cook. After placing the pizza in the oven, Hyeok revealed that, at a temperature of 400 degrees Celsius, the pizza needed less than two minutes inside to be cooked to perfection, making it a perfect snack to enjoy between nines.
