Quick Margherita Pizza Recipe

This is a quick version of our classical pizza recipe. Compare to the classical pizza recipe, the dough has less volume and will result in a pizza with a more flat bound.

Dough:
◦15g fresh yeast
◦1 tea spoon of salt
◦4 table spoon olive oil
◦2 table spoon of milk
◦375 cl. water
◦650g white flour

Toppings for 4 pizzas:
◦1 can of tomatoes
◦400g Mozzarella cheese
◦Basil
◦Olive oil

Disolve the yeast in the water and mix it with the flour until all ingredients are well mixed. Let ithe dough rest 1 hour before making the pizzas.

Switch oven to 250 degrees celcius (480 fahrenheit). To improve your result, I recommend to use one of the pizza stone that you can find on amazon for example. Otherwise you can use your oven tray and place some baking paper on it.

As the quantity we used is suitable for 4 pizzas, divide the dough in 4 pieces and form pizza by adding a little bit of flour on top while making the dough flat using a kitchen roller. The flour will help you to work with the dough by making the dough more elastic and avoid it to stick on the kitchen roller or the table.

Spread three spoon of tomatoes on the dough, add the mozarella cheese and set in the oven around 10 to 15 minutes until the dough becomes crispy.

Serve with basil and a little bit olive oil.

Pizza with Parma ham, black olives and parmesan

The secret of good Pizzas resides in the dough and the quality of the ingredients. Dont buy cheap olives, discount ham or grated Mozarella that tastes like plastic. Italian cuisine is based mostly on the taste of ingredients, so go to your Italian favorite shop and buy some real parma ham, good mozarella (Galbani f.x.), tined plum tomatoes, and marinated black olives. One good tip is to buy a piece of mozarella that you grate yourself, so the cheese is not too dry.

When I talked to my Italian friend, I was also very curious to know how they make pizza sauce in Italy. His answer was very simple; take a plum tomatoes tined and mix it with 2.5 table spoon of tomato concentrate. Wow ... so simple it could not be ... I tried and it turned out as a very good advice.

So to start with our pizzas, we will prepare the dough using our pizza crust recipe. Once the dough is ready, preheat oven at 250°. Take a tined plum tomatoes and use a mixer to make the pizza sauce. Add 2.5 table spoon of tomato concentrate.

Roll the pizza dough to make the crust and place it on a metal tray. Then cover the crust with the pizza sauce. Then add grated mozarella, Parma ham, black olives and finally grated parmesan. Place the pizza in the oven for 10 minutes. Top it with oregano and serve.
