add cubed salt pork to a cold pan and cook for 5-10 minutes on medium heat until it's crispy
add all the meats, pecorino cheese and fat from the salt pork into the dough and knead until it's combined
line a bowl with a kitchen towel and dust with flour. add the dough and cover with plastic. let it slowly rise in the fridge overnight or for 24hrs.
before you cook preheat your oven to 500 degrees and place a Dutch oven inside. let it preheat for at least an hour.
while the oven is preheating take the bread out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature.
flip the bread into the hot Dutch oven and let it cook for 30 minutes covered.
after 30minutes take off the lid and let it cook for another 15-20 minutes u til it's nice and crusty.

Noo not at all, I think I got mine for $200 and it's lasted for 15+ years. Plus you can get them cheap used and they are built to last
