To many Italians, there are only two true pizzas: The Pizza
Marinara and the Pizza Margherita.
The Pizza Marinara is by far the older of the two, and dates
back even further to the classic pizza from 16th-century
Naples. On it you will find, in addition to fresh tomatoes, the
herb oregano and fresh garlic, as well as extra olive oil.
The colours of the Italian flag can be seen clearly on this Margherita
Pizza: red (tomato sauce), white (Mozzarella cheese) and green (basil).
The Perfect Pizza
Dough
Ideally, you should start to prepare the pizza dough 24
hours in advance. If you don't have 24 hours, try to leave the
pizza dough in the fridge for at least a few hours. In this
time the fermentation of the yeast takes place, which is
what gives pizza its typical taste.
1 kg flour
Cold tap water
Sea salt
¼ cube of fresh yeast
A pizza stone really brings out that authentic Italian flavor in your
pizza. It removes excess moisture while at the same time evenly
distributing heat.
If you use your pizza stone for baking, heat it up for 25 to 40 minutes at
220°C to 300°C. The pizza stone stores thermal energy during the
heating process and then transfers it to the baked goods. Coat the
pizza stone with flour before the baking process, as described in the
previous section, so that the bottom of the pizza does not stick and it
can be easily moved. Before putting the pizza in the oven, switch off
the oven fan and possibly even the top heating element. The bottom
heating element is enough to give you that crispy pizza dough
reminiscent of your favourite Italian restaurant. Bake the pizza for
about 5 to 7 minutes (at 300°C) or 8 to 12 minutes (at 220°C), until it is
golden brown. The hotter the stone, the shorter the baking time, and a
short baking time prevents the toppings from getting burnt while
conserving the flavor.
Baking Pizza on the Grill
Roll out the pizza dough, pressing down with your hands from the
center and working outwards to form a rim. This way, the rim will
rise a lot and have a light, airy taste. If you are not a fan of a thick
rim, simply press the rim flat too and later, place the toppings all
the way to the edge. Finely chop the garlic and add it to the pureed
tomatoes, together with the basil, salt and pepper. Spread the
mixture on the pizza. Add the salami, ham, washed and chopped
mushrooms, and the bell pepper. To top it off, sprinkle the grated
Mozzarella on the pizza and pop it in the oven. At 180°C the pizza
should take about 15 minutes.
Pizza Tonno
1 pre-prepared ball of dough
Tomatoes
Pureed tomato
Basil, garlic, salt, pepper
Mozzarella cheese
200g tuna
2 onions
Roll out the pizza dough, pressing down with your hands from
the center and working outwards to form a rim. This way, the
rim will rise a lot and have a light, airy taste. If you are not a
fan of a thick rim, simply press the rim flat too and later, place
the toppings all the way to the edge. Finely chop the garlic and
add it to the pureed tomatoes, together with the chopped up
basil, salt and pepper. Spread the mixture on the pizza. Cut the
onion into slices and spread the tuna and the onion rings on
the pizza. To top it off, sprinkle the grated Mozzarella on the
pizza and pop it in the oven. At 180°C the pizza should take
about 15 minutes.
Hawaiian Pizza
Wash the zucchinis and grate them to a pulp. Mix this pulp with salt and
set it aside for 10 minutes. Subsequently, wring out the pulp to get rid of
the water and mix the dry mass with the egg, 50 g Mozzarella and the
Parmesan. Cut the aubergine into thin strips.
Form the dough into a pizza shape and pre-bake it for 15 to 20 minutes.
In the meantime, wash the tomatoes and cut them in half. Peel and dice
the onions and garlic and sauté them until they are translucent. Add
sugar and tomato paste and brown it briefly. Add the halved tomatoes
and finally, the strained tomatoes. Season the mixture with salt, pepper
and oregano leave it to simmer on low heat for ca. 5 minutes. Take the
pizza base out of the oven, turn it over spread the tomato sauce on it.
Top with the aubergine strips, sprinkle 100 g Mozzarella on it, and bake
the pizza for a further 10-15 minutes in a pre-heated oven. Finally, take
the pizza out of the oven and sprinkle it with 25 g Parmesan and basil
leaves.
Dessert Pizza
Pizza Cupcakes
1 glass (185 g) sun-dried Cherry tomatoes on the vine
tomatoes in oil 4 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp tomato paste 250g Mozzarella cheese
Salt 150g Ricotta cheese
Ground pepper Baking paper
Fresh pizza dough
Fresh basil
Drain the sun-dried tomatoes and allow them to drip dry. Puree half of
the tomatoes together with the tomato paste, and season with pepper.
Cut the rest of the tomatoes in strips, roll out the dough and spread the
tomatoes out on the dough. Next, wash the basil, chop it up finely and
sprinkle it on the dough. Roll up the dough and cut it into 12 pieces of
equal size. Put small pieces of baking paper in the muffin tray and place
the dough pieces on them. Bake at 200°C with the oven fan in a
preheated oven for approximately 12 minutes.
Wash the rest of the cherry tomatoes on the vine, coat them in oil and
season with salt and pepper. After 5 minutes, put them in the oven with
the dough pieces. Coarsely shred the Mozzarella and mix the pieces in
with the Ricotta cheese and the salt and pepper.
When the cupcakes are finished baking, decorate them with the
Mozzarella mixture, the baked tomato vines, and basil.
Fruity Muesli Pizza with Quinoa Dough
280 g dates
50 g quinoa
2 tbsp coconut oil
150 g granola muesli
250g natural soya yogurt with coconut
120 g coconut flakes
2 bananas
100g blackberries
150 g raspberries
Oil
For the Fruity Muesli Pizza, start by cutting in half and stoning
the dates. Subsequently, grease the bottom of a springform pan
(22 cm Ø) with a thin layer of oil. For the base, shred the dates,
quinoa, coconut oil and muesli (except for one tablespoon) in a
food processor. Place this mixture in the springform and press
it down into a smooth, compact base. Refrigerate the
springform for 30 minutes.
In the meantime, mix the yogurt and the coconut flakes
together, peel the bananas and cut them in half lengthways.
Next, wash the blackberries and pat them dry, and sort the
raspberries. Carefully remove the base from the springform and
spread the yogurt mixture on it. Finally, arrange the bananas,
blackberries and raspberries on the jogurt layer and sprinkle
the rest of the muesli on top.
Chocolate Pizza
380g flour
180ml water
Salt
Dry yeast
1 ½ tbsp sugar
1 ½ tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
4 tbsp oil
Butter
Nut nougat cream
Chocolate drops, dark, white and milk and white
Mini marshmallows
Slivered almonds
For the yeast dough, dissolve the yeast and some of the sugar in a bit of
lukewarm water. Mix the flour with cocoa powder and the rest of the sugar.
Knead the flour mixture with the dissolved yeast and the rest of the water,
adding the salt and oil later. Continue to knead the dough until it looks nice
and smooth and detaches itself from the edge of the bowl. Cover it with
plastic wrap and leave it to rise for ca. 1 ½ hours. Once the dough has risen
and without kneading it, cut it into four pieces and roll it out thinly. The
pizzas can be baked on a baking tray or a pizza tray. To bake, prick the base
with a fork and spread the melted butter on it. Bake the pizza at 200 °C with
both top and bottom heat for 5 to 6 minutes until crispy.
Straight after baking, spread the nut nougat cream on the hot base and and
add the other toppings to taste. The pizza then needs to go back into the
oven until the marshmallows are light brown and the chocolate is slightly
melted.
The pizza tastes best fresh out of the oven.
Pear, Honey, Sage and Taleggio Pizza
Preheat the oven and the pizza stone. Cut the pear in half,
remove the core and cut it into thin slices.
Remove the rind of the Taleggio cheese and chop it up. Roll
out the pizza dough into a flat base, coat it with olive oil, and
spread the Taleggio and the pear slices on the base. Round it
off with grated Pecorino and sage leaves. Finally, drizzle the
pizza with honey and season with salt and pepper. Bake it on
the pizza stone for 6 to 8 minutes.
Baking Bread
Simple Rye Bread on the Pizza Stone
210 g wholegrain rye flour 60 g old bread
230 ml water 240 ml water
4 g salt 8 g salt
For the sourdough starter, or mother, on the first day you need 20 g rye flour
and 40 ml lukewarm water. Stir this to a smooth porridge and leave the
dough to prove for a day at a warm room temperature in a glass or a bowl,
with a cover or a lid on it.
On the second day, mix the ingredients for the sourdough (210 g wholegrain
rye flour, 230 g water, 4 g salt and 40 g sourdough starter) and let it prove for
12 to 16 hours at room temperature.
For the scald soak, mix boiling water (240 g) with the salt and the old bread,
cover it and leave it to cool off to room temperature. This makes it possible
to store it for up to 12 hours.
For the main dough, mix all the sourdough, the scald soak, 370 g rye flour
(type 1370) and 120 g water (70°C) by hand or with an electric mixer on the
lowest setting for 5 to 8 minutes, until you get a smooth, even mixture
(dough temperature ca. 28°C). More water can be added, if necessary.
Allow the dough to rest for 30 minutes at room temperature. Then knead it
again and leave it to rest for another 80 minutes. The dough is now ready to
bake at 250°C for approximately 50 minutes, on the pre-heated pizza stone .
Indian Naan Bread on the Pizza Stone
500 g flour
150 ml lukewarm milk
2 tbsp sugar
2 tsp dry yeast
1 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp oil
150 ml yogurt
1 egg
Salt
Pour the milk in a bowl and stir in 0.5 tbsp sugar and yeast. Allow the
mixture to rest for ca. 20 minutes in a warm place, until the yeast is
dissolved and the mixture starts to bubble. Put the flour in a big bowl and
mix in 1/2 tsp salt and baking powder. Add 2 tbsp suger, the milk with the
dissolved yeast, 2 tbsp vegetable oil, the lightly beaten yogurt and the
lightly beaten egg. Knead the mixture for a good 10 minutes, until the
dough is smooth and malleable. Add 1/4 tsp oil to a bowl an roll the dough
ball around in it. Cover the bowl with cling wrap and leave the dough to
rise in a warm place for 1 hour, so that it doubles in size. Then knead the
dough again, divide it into 6 balls of equal size, and cover it with a cloth.
With a bit of flour, roll the first ball into a thin layer with either a round or
an oval shape.
In the meantime you will have pre-heated your pizza stone. Lay the first
portion of flattened dough on it and turn it over after 3 or 4 minutes.
The bread is best served warm!
Whole Grain Spelt Bread on the Pizza Stone
Put all the dry ingredients (that is, the flour, seeds, salt and dry
yeast or crumbled fresh yeast) in a bowl and mix them lightly with
your hands. Then add the fruit vinegar and water and mix it all
together with a hand-held blender. To put the finishing touches on
the dough, give it a good knead with your hands.
Put the yeast dough in a bread tin that has been previously-greased
with a neutral-tasting oil. Sprinkle a handful of sesame seeds on the
dough and pop it in the cold oven.
Set the oven to 200 °C (top and bottom heat) bake the bread for ca.
50 minutes. The time it takes for the oven to heat up is enough to
allow the dough to rise. Switch off the oven after 50 minutes and
leave the bread in the residual heat of the oven for another 15
minutes. Your bread is ready!
