Quick and Easy homemade ITALIAN PIZZA
Posted by NaimaAug 8
here we are with a common, easy yet delicious recipes of the traditional italian cuisine. LA PIZZA!
This is the recipe we use in my family since lots of years and I can assure you, it’s delicious. It takes some time but just to rest as the preparation won’t take you more than 30 minutes.
here it comes the timings:
preparation 30 minutes
time to rest 50 minutes
cooking time 15-20
you can have your pizza every day of the week, I usually back from work at 6 pm and at 8 pm it’s served.
ingredients:
- 600g flour type 00
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup seed oil
- 1 cube brewer’s yeast (25g)
- 150-200ml water
- salt
this is for the dow. The stuffing is upon your preference, the basic pizza is MARGHERITA with simple tomato sauce and a very good mozzarella, olive oil and oregano, otherwise the MARINARA is with tomato sauce, parsley, garlic and olive oil.
Preheat the oven at 60°C for about 10 minutes than turn it OFF and leave the door closed to keep it warm.
Heat the milk a little bit, it shouldn’t be hot or the yeast will loose all its properties. Dissolve the yeast in the milk using a fork until it’s all dissolved.
In a blender, put the flour, a good pinch of salt, milk with yeast and start blend it with the correct spatula for the dow. After a few blitz, start adding the water slowly inside the mixer, don’t put too much water per time, it shouldn’t be too soft. The dow is ready when it naturally detach from the borders of the blender.
On a clean large surface (a wooden table would be perfect as you need space), dust some flour and remove the dow from the blender and start working it hardly. Keep on working up to 10 minutes than make a ball with the dow. In a large bowl with high edges, dust some flour, put the ball of dow and cover with a clean canvas than put in the oven turned OFF for 50 minutes. NEVER OPEN THE OVEN DURING THIS PERIOD!!
now.. relax.. take it easy with the world famous “dolce far niente”
When the dow is ready, dust again some flour on the table and start working it again but this time, slowly and just for a couple of minutes (otherwise the yeast will loose all its effect and you’ll eat a piece of marble), in the meantime preheat the oven at 250°C.
Prepare the tray brushing a drizzle of seed oil all over the surface just to avoid sticking. If you prefer, you can use some parchment paper too.
Now, it’s easy and you’re pretty done, just lay the dow on the tray, make some high edges allover and leave it rest for about 5-10 minutes again, before stuffing.
Remember to season the tomato sauce if you use it, add oregano (we ALWAYS use it) and a drizzle of olive oil before cooking.
It will take about 15-20 minutes, check it out after 15 minutes and be sure the edges are not too brown and nothing is burned.
enjoy!!
in this picture I used tomato sauce, a gorgeous mozzarella, bacon, green bell peppers (actually.. these are yellow though), oregano and olive oil.
