Pizza

As a good Italian, I couldn’t help but write the pizza recipe, although I must confess that for convenience and variety of offerings I often buy the pizza already at the pizzeria. Making pizza at home is very easy, it just takes a little time to prepare. As usual, given that it takes time to prepare and the variety of flavor preferences, I made a double dough, but you take into account the dose that I indicate for a baking tray.

Ingredients for 2/3 people (one baking tray):

-250g(8.82 oz) of flour

-250g(8.82 oz) of manitoba flour –

-25g(0.88 oz) of fresh brewer’s yeast

-1 teaspoon of sugar

-2 tablespoons of salt

-400g(14.11 oz) of tomato puree

-300g(10.58 oz) of mozzarella for the pizza

-1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil

-various fillings/condiments to your liking

Preparation:

First, prepare the dough at least 10 hours before cooking.

1) Place the normal flour and the manitoba flour in the mixer bowl (it is very important to use the manitoba flour). Add 1 tablespoon of salt and the extra virgin olive oil, mix.

2) Fill a glass with water and heat it to medium temperature (do not boil), add 1 teaspoon of sugar, crumble the yeast cubes into it and mix. Add the liquid to the mixer bowl with the flour, mix until you obtain a homogeneous mixture, if it is too thick add a little warm water, if it is too liquid add a little flour.

3) Once everything is homogeneous, cover with cling film and leave to rest for at least 10 hours in a warm, unventilated place.

4) Once the necessary time has passed, take the dough and roll it out with a rolling pin. Place it on a baking tray, make small holes in the dough with a fork and bake at 200°C (392°F) for 15 minutes.

5) Take the pan out of the oven and put the tomato puree on it. Bake for another 4 minutes.

6) Take out the almost cooked pizza and add the diced mozzarella. Bake for another 5 minutes.

7) Finally you can roll out the almost ready pizza and season it to your liking. If you want to use raw ham, I recommend adding it later, when the pizza is ready and not putting it in the oven (because it becomes too salty).
