I just love pizza … Or more correctly …. I just looove Italian pizza. Italian pizzas are just the best pizzas ♥
If I am out buying fasfood, I only buy Italian pizza. I do that, because I think it’s more delicious, not as fatty as an ordinary pizza, and they are always using good and fresh products ♥
It can be very expensivem if you sometimes buy one or two pizzas in a month, and thats why I tried to make my own Italian pizza, with my favourite stuffing on top.
It is so delicious. I don’t have a pizzastone, but this pizza has a really crispy bottom anyway! The secret is to making the bottom very thin 🙂
Recipe
Yield: 2 pizzas
Ingredients:
Pizza dough:
- 1/4 liter of water
- 500 grams of Manitoba flour or Tipo ’00’ flour
- 15 grams of yeast
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp sugar
- Salt
Pizza:
- 1 bag of fresh mozzarella
- Tomato sauce
- Parmesan
- 1 bag of ruccola
- 1 package of cherry tomatoes – 250 grams (Different colours are beautiful)
- 1 package of serano ham (Min. 6 pieces)
How to make it:
Pizza dough:
- Dissolve the yeast in the water and add the other ingredients
- Mix it, and knead the dough very well. The dough has to be firm and elastic. Knead it for min. 10 minutes (I always use my Kenwood kitchen machine)
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or put it in a plastic box with lid
- Let it raise for min. 4 hours or more
Pizza:
- When the dough is finish raising – Take it out of the fridge and let it rest (take it out, at least 1 hour before you start making the pizza, so the dough isn’t to hard)
- Pre heat the oven to the highest degrees, your oven can manage – Hot air
- Grate the parmesan
- Wash the ruccola and put it a side
- Slice or dice the mozzarella and slice the tomatoes (in slices or in halfes)
- Now .. work with the dough. Roll it and stretch it with your hands, so it becomes flat and thin. (use a small amount of durum flour for rolling the dough out)
- When the doug is thin enough – place it on a baking paper
- Take the hot baking plate out of the oven, and slide the pizza on baking paper on to the hot baking plate
- Put tomato sauce on the pizza and mozzarella on the pizza
- Put in the oven (the bottom shelf)
- Bake the pizza for aprox. 10 minutes – keep an eye on it
- Take the pizza out of the oven, put serano ham on it, then tomatoes and at last ruccola
- Top with a lot of delicious parmesan
⇒ TIP:
You will always get the best result with a dough, if you use a kitchen machine
⇒ TIP:
I always make the pizza dough in the morning, before work – It takes no time :). Then it will be in the frisge to raise all day – and be ready for me when I come home 🙂
