As you know, the most popular Italian dish in the world is pizza. There are many varieties of this dish. In addition, for sure, each of us created our own pizza, filling it with the ingredients that were found in the refrigerator. Today we offer to consider a few recipes for the most famous type of this dish. It's about cheese pizza.

Classic recipe

This cheese pizza at home is prepared quite simply and quickly. So even a novice hostess can do it. It is prepared from yeast dough, on which two types of cheese and tomato sauce are laid out.

Ingredients

So, to prepare this Italian dish, we will need the following products: wheat flour - 4 cups, dry yeast - two teaspoons, s alt - one and a half teaspoons, olive oil - two tablespoons and one and a half glasses of warm water. From the listed products we will make dough. To prepare the sauce, we need twogarlic cloves, two tablespoons of olive oil, 800 grams of tomatoes, s alt and black pepper - to taste. For the pizza topping, we will use two types of cheese, pre-shredded on a grater - parmesan - a quarter cup and mozzarella - 3 cups.

Instructions

First, let's take a test. To do this, combine flour, s alt and yeast. We mix. Then add water and olive oil. Mix until a homogeneous consistency. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more flour. Now it must be laid out on a floured work surface and kneaded. Then transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a towel and leave for about an hour and a half in a warm place to rise.

Since the cheese pizza, the recipe of which we are considering, should be prepared with sauce, let's make it. We chop the garlic. We put it together with olive oil in a pan. We put on a small fire and heat for 1-2 minutes. Pre-peeled and chopped tomatoes are then also spread in a pan. Cook the sauce, stirring constantly, until thickened. This will take about a quarter of an hour. After that, s alt and pepper it and remove it from the stove.

Turn on the oven at 250 degrees so that it warms up well. Punch down the risen dough and divide into two parts. We put one of them on the table, and return the second to the bowl and cover with a towel. Roll out the dough on the work surface into a circle. Its diameter should be approximately 35centimeters. We cover the baking sheet with parchment or grease with oil and carefully shift the pizza base onto it. This is most conveniently done by wrapping a rolled circle of dough on a rolling pin. Grease one centimeter from the edge of the base with oil. Now spread 1 cup of the resulting sauce on the dough. We distribute it evenly, without covering the sides smeared with oil. Top with Mozzarella (one and a half cups) and Parmesan (two tablespoons). We send pizza to a well-heated oven. Our cheese pizza, the photo of which can be seen in the article, will be ready in 8-13 minutes. It should turn golden. While the first pizza is baking, you can start preparing the second one. The sequence of actions remains the same. The finished pizza will only have to be transferred to a large plate or dish, cut into portions and served. Bon appetit!
