HOMEMADE PIZZA
The ingredients
250g common wheat “0” flour
250g wholemeal flour
15g fresh brewer's yeast
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
250ml warm water
A pinch of sugar
STEP 1 - THE DOUGH
Dissolve the brewer's yeast in the warm water and then add a pinch of sugar. Pour the common wheat flour into the Pasta Mixer and add a teaspoon of salt. Start the mixer for a few seconds. Add the water with the dissolved yeast and 4 tablespoons of oil. Start the Mixer and knead for 3 minutes. Take out the dough from the machine and shape it into a ball with your hands. Dust it with flour and place it in a large bowl. Cover it with a cotton cloth and let it rise for at least 1 hour in a warm spot, away from any draughts.
STEP 2 - BAKING
When it has finished rising, place it in the Mixer and knead it for another 3 minutes. Remove the dough from the mixer and shape it into small balls of about 200g and let them rest for 90 minutes. Roll out the dough with your hands or a rolling pin until you obtain a pizza of the desired thickness. For pan pizza, place the dough on a previously oiled baking pan. Top the pizza, starting with the tomatoes and then add the other ingredients toward the end of the cooking time. Pre-heat the oven to 220°C and cook the pizza for approximately 20 minutes.
