Many people like the taste of a real, thin and fragrant pizza. But going to a pizzeria every day and even calling a delivery service is expensive for some people. Let's remember that this dish originated in the minds of zealous Calabrian housewives, who were poor enough to throw away what the family did not finish at dinner. Therefore, in the morning they rolled out the dough and spread on it everything that was left from yesterday: pieces of ham, vegetables, cheese. Why don't we follow their example? So, how to make pizza at home, read on.
The hardest part is making the dough
Of course, the most lazy ones can limit themselves to buying ready-made cakes in the store. But with the same result, you can buy frozen pizza. The sandwich that is sold in supermarkets bears little resemblance to an authentic product. Homemade pizza should be made from carefully rolled dough into a thin layer. If the cake has a heightmore than a centimeter is already Georgian khachapuri, Kyiv perepichka, but not pizza at all. For "dummies" it is permissible to buy raw yeast dough (not rich) and roll it out at home. For cooks with experience, we offer a different option.
How to make homemade pizza
Sift one and a half glasses of flour on the board, put half a spoonful of dry yeast, a spoonful of s alt and some dry Italian herbs there. We mix, form a “volcano”, into the mouth of which we pour a glass of warm water and 2 and a half tablespoons of olive (at worst, sunflower) oil. Knead for ten minutes, wrap with a towel and leave to swell in a warm place away from drafts for an hour. During this time, the dough should double in size.
Filling
While the dough is rising, let's think about what the top will be. Homemade pizza does not limit your imagination in any way, however, it involves two mandatory products. This is ketchup, which can be replaced with tomato paste, and cheese (preferably grated parmesan with mozzarella cut into small pieces, but any is allowed - hard, cheese and even melted). Open the refrigerator and look for other ingredients there. They can be: garlic, bell pepper, tomatoes, ham, any sausage, sprats, seafood, green peas or sweet corn, smoked fish and meat. The choice is yours.
Assembly
Turn on the oven at 220 degrees and take the dough. Sprinkle the cutting board with flour, lay out our dough and knead again. Roll out well to make a thin crust.(preferably round). Lubricate the baking sheet with any vegetable oil and place the workpiece there. Lubricate its top with ketchup or tomato paste. Put the ingredients of the chosen filling on top. Cheese should be at the very top: sprinkle with grated parmesan or crush with chopped mozzarella. Drizzle lightly with vegetable oil and place in the oven. Homemade pizza should be baked for about a quarter of an hour.
A few little secrets
If you use several types of cheese products, then the softest type is placed directly on the dough, for example, ricotta curd, then harder - some kind of yellow (emmental, gouda, etc.), and sprinkle should be hard. Since homemade pizza is baked for a short time so that the vegetables do not look crispy, like in a salad, marinate the onions, and fry or stew the carrots, mushrooms and the like.
