Hi everyone,
I recently got this recipe from my elder sister. It is a recipe for a delicious pizza. I would like to share it with you, also introducing a new kind of content we will be adding to this blog in the future. I would ask you to comment and let me know if these instructions are clear or not and of course whether or not you liked the recipe?
Pizza:
Dough:
- 500 gram flower
- a pinch of sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 small package of fresh yeast
- about 250 mL of lukewarm water
- a bit of oil for the baking sheet
Preheat your oven at the highest setting. For the dough, mix the flower sugar and salt in a bowl. Now crumble the yeast over the mix and then mix everything together. Slowly add the water and then knead the dough until you get a smooth dough (If you dough seems dry and you can’t seem to get it to hold together just add some more water).
Next cover the dough and put it for about 15 minutes in a warm place to let it rise.
Afterward knead the dough a bit and then spread it on an oiled backing sheet. Cover it again and let it rise for another 10 minutes.
Sauce:
- 2 tomatoes
- 200 ml sieved tomatoes
- 2 soup spoons of tomato paste
- 2 garlic cloves
- about 1 teaspoon of oregano or majoram
While waiting for the dough to rise put 2 tomatoes, sieved tomatoes, tomato paste and 2 peeled garlic cloves together and puree the mix. Now you can put the tomato sauce on the pizza dough and put on your desired toppings.
Last but not least bake the pizza on the lowest level of your oven rack for about 15 minutes at the highest setting.
I hope these instructions are helpful. I had to translate them from German so I am unsure about whether they are in proper English, though I am sure everyone should be able to make a delicious homemade pizza now!
Happy cooking,
Marius
