Original Italian Pizza

Just like in an Italian Pizzeria: my Italian pizza recipe!
Vorbereitungszeit 1 Stunde 30 Minuten
Koch- und Backzeit 10 Minuten
Gesamtzeit 1 Stunde 40 Minuten
Portionen: 3

Utensilien

  • Bowl
  • Cling film
  • Baking tray/pizza stone
  • Baking paper

Zutaten
  

  • 1 pckg. dry yeast
  • 350 ml water
  • 500 g all-purpose flour or spelt flour
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 100 ml tomato sauce
  • 3 mozzarella
  • 1 tbsp oregano
  • 1 handful fresh basil

Zubereitung
 

  • Dissolve the yeast in warm water. Add flour (you can also use 100 g wholewheat flour and 400 g all-purpose flour, tastes amazing) and knead for approx. 1 minute. Add olive oil and salt and knead the dough for 10 minutes (important!). Let the dough rise for approx. 1 hour at room temperature. 
    TIP: Use just a pinch of yeast if you prep the dough in the morning for the evening.
  • Preheat the oven (with the pizza stone in it if you have one, alternatively with the baking tray) to 250 °C for 30 minutes. Divide your pizza dough into 3 pieces. Slowly shape the pizzas with your hands by slightly pulling the dough to the edges until it has the size you want. This is key because if you roll it out all the air bubbles which you wanna have for a fluffy pizza will be destroyed. 
  • For an original pizza, use tomato sauce (passata), mozzarella, some oregano. Of course you can now add all the toppings you want like pepperoni, veggies or olives. Bake the pizza on the very hot pizza stone for 7-10 minutes at 250 °C and serve with fresh basil.

Tipps

For the perfect pizza it's important:
  • that you preheat the oven with the baking tray in it
  • that you don't roll the pizza out but shape it with your hands
  • that you bake it briefly, but in a very hot oven
