I looove homemade pizza – With homemade pizza dough, and not that pre-made-supermarket-stuff .. you know 🙂 🙂
At our house we have homemade pizza, every other friday – and my stepson loves it ♥
He think it is absolutely amazing… We call it pizza-friday 🙂
So the few fridays, where i choose to make something else – of different reasons – he just looks weird at me, and asks: “isn’t it friday?” ♥
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 package of fresh mozzarella
- 2 chicken breast
- Fresh basil
- Tomatosauce (bought or homemade)
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
- Dice the chicken breast & fry it
- 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
- Slice or dice your mozzarella
- 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 (all out to the edges), then mozzarella & diced chicken breast
- 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, top with fresh basil leaves and cut it in delicious pieces
⇒ 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 🙂
