With artisan bread dough always on hand, you can whip up a mouthwatering pizza in under 10 minutes! Let's start the culinary adventure! Preparation time: 5 minutes Cooking time: 8 minutes Total time: 13 minutes Servings: 2 Necessary ingredients: For the dough: - 250 g bread dough (can be made from flour, water, yeast, salt, and a little olive oil) or pizza dough For the sauce: - 200 g tomato paste - 1 teaspoon dried oregano - 1 teaspoon dried basil - ½ teaspoon garlic powder - Salt and pepper, to taste - 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil For the toppings: - 150 g sausage (preferably smoked or spicy, depending on preference) - 150 g grated cheese (you can use mozzarella or a mix of cheeses, depending on taste) Practical tips: - Make sure the pizza dough is at room temperature for easier stretching. If you have artisan bread dough, it can be used directly from the fridge. - If you want a lower-calorie pizza, you can replace the sausage with roasted vegetables or lean meat, such as chicken. - For an extra flavor boost, add slices of bell pepper or mushrooms to your pizza. Step by step - How to make pan pizza: 1. Prepare the dough: If you don't have dough ready, mix 500 g of flour with 325 ml of warm water, 1 packet of dry yeast, 10 g salt, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Knead well until you get an elastic dough. Let it rise for 1 hour or refrigerate it for 24 hours. 2. Roll out the dough: Take the dough out of the fridge and roll it out on a lightly floured surface, forming a round sheet. Make sure the size of the sheet fits the pan you are using. 3. Preheat the pan: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil and ensure it is well distributed on the bottom of the pan. 4. Cook the dough: Place the pizza sheet in the pan and cover it with a lid. Let it cook for about 4 minutes, until the bottom is golden and crispy. 5. Prepare the sauce: In a bowl, mix the tomato paste with oregano, basil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and olive oil. This sauce will give your pizza an intense and aromatic flavor. 6. Add the toppings: Flip the pizza to the other side, then spread the sauce evenly over its surface. Place the slices of sausage and sprinkle the grated cheese on top. Cover again with a lid and let it cook for another 4 minutes, until the cheese melts. 7. Serve with style: Once the cheese has melted and the pizza is well-cooked, remove it from the pan and let it cool for a few minutes. Cut it into slices and serve it with a fresh salad or a yogurt sauce with mint for an explosion of flavors. Nutritional benefits: This pan pizza is a quick and delicious option, offering a combination of carbohydrates from the dough, protein from cheese and sausage, and antioxidants from the tomato sauce. With quality ingredients, you can create a balanced meal that satisfies your hunger. Frequently asked questions: 1. Can I use other types of meat? Yes, you can replace the sausage with ham, chicken, or even beef. Also, for a vegetarian option, try roasted vegetables or tofu. 2. What is the secret to perfect dough? Use good quality flour and ensure the dough is well-kneaded. Let it rise sufficiently, and the texture will be slightly elastic. 3. How can I customize my pizza? Add your favorite toppings, such as olives, pepperoni, pineapple, or even seafood. This makes each pizza unique!
