Pasta/Pizza - Pizza simply by Catinca O. - Recipia

Homemade pizza is made with minimal preparation, especially when you already have the toppings ready. The dough is simple, rises quickly, and you can add exactly the combination from the recipe: sausage, mushrooms, pickles, olives, onion, and cheese. It's a hearty pizza with a homemade crust and easy-to-prepare ingredients. QUICK INFO Total time: approximately 30-40 minutes, depending on the time needed to prepare the ingredients and rise the dough Preparation time: approximately 15-20 minutes for the dough and toppings Baking time: 15-20 minutes Rising time: 15-20 minutes or until the dough doubles in volume Servings: unspecified in the original recipe Difficulty: easy Recipe type: homemade pizza INGREDIENTS 300 g flour 150 ml warm water A pinch of salt 1 teaspoon dry yeast 200 g sausage 100 g mushrooms 100 g pitted olives 1 red onion 100 g cheese 1 pickle Tomato paste Oregano Oil The amount of tomato paste and oil is not specified exactly in the basic recipe. Use enough paste to spread on the dough and a little oil for the dough and the baking tray. PREPARATION METHOD 1. Prepare the dough Sift the flour into a bowl, then add the dry yeast and salt. Pour in the warm water and mix until the ingredients come together and you obtain a smooth dough. Finally, add a little oil and incorporate it into the dough. You don't need to add a large amount; its role is to help make the dough easier to work with. 2. Let the dough rise Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for 15-20 minutes. The recipe states that it should double in volume, so the time may vary slightly depending on the temperature in the kitchen. 3. Prepare the topping ingredients While the dough is rising, chop the sausage, mushrooms, and pickle into small cubes. Slice the red onion into rings. Use pitted olives; if they are large, you can leave them whole or cut them, according to your preference. In a small bowl, mix the tomato paste with a tablespoon of water and a little oregano. The mixture should be easy enough to spread over the dough. Grate the cheese and set it aside until you assemble the pizza. 4. Roll out the dough Once the dough has doubled in volume, roll it out. Grease the baking tray with a little oil and place the dough in it. The shape and thickness of the crust depend on how much you roll it out. It’s important that it covers the tray and can support the toppings without tearing. 5. Add the toppings Spread the crust with the tomato paste mixture. Distribute the sausage, mushrooms, pickle, olives, and onion rings on top. Finally, sprinkle the grated cheese over all the ingredients. It’s easier to distribute the toppings evenly so that each slice has a bit of everything. 6. Bake the pizza Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake the pizza for 15-20 minutes. The original recipe does not specify the oven temperature, so use the setting typically used for baking homemade pizza. Check the pizza towards the end of the baking time; the exact time may vary depending on the oven and the thickness of the crust. WHY I MAKE THIS RECIPE OFTEN It's a simple recipe with quick dough and ingredients that are prepared without complicated steps. The topping is filling, and the combination of sausage, cheese, olives, and pickle provides enough flavor without needing many spices. Another advantage is that the dough is easy to work with after rising, and the pizza can be made whenever you want something homemade without having to buy a pre-made crust. TIPS Use warm water, not hot, for the dough. Water that is too hot can affect the yeast, making rising more difficult. Allow the dough to increase in volume before rolling it out. The 15-20 minutes are approximate, as the room temperature can affect the rising time. Don’t put too much tomato paste. A thin layer spreads more easily and doesn’t overload the crust. Cut the toppings into similarly sized pieces so that the ingredients distribute better on the pizza. If the cheese is salty, keep in mind that the olives, sausage, and pickle can also add salt. In this combination, the pinch of salt used in the dough is sufficient. SUBSTITUTIONS The cheese in the recipe can be replaced with another cheese that can be grated and melted in the oven, although the original recipe does not specify a particular type. The sausage can be swapped for another type of sausage if you want to keep the meat component. For a vegetarian version, it can be omitted, but the pizza will not have the same consistency as in the original recipe. If you don’t have pitted olives, use olives from which you remove the pits before putting them on the crust. VARIATIONS You can distribute the ingredients in different amounts on the crust, according to preference. For example, the pickle and onion can be sprinkled more sparingly if you want their flavor to be more subtle. For a more uniform topping, all ingredients can be cut into small pieces. If you prefer to taste each ingredient more distinctly, keep the mushrooms and sausage in slightly larger cubes. You can place the cheese only at the end, as indicated in the recipe, or you can divide it between the toppings and the layer on top. The second option slightly changes the distribution of the cheese, but the base ingredients remain the same. SERVING IDEAS The pizza is served hot after baking. To cut it, let it cool slightly so that the crust and toppings settle. It can be served plain, as it already has meat, vegetables, olives, and cheese. The pickle in the composition gives it a tangy note, so no additional toppings are needed. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 1. How long should the dough rise? The dough should rise for about 15-20 minutes, but the main criterion is that it doubles in volume. If it’s cooler in the kitchen, it may need more time. 2. What temperature should the oven be set to? The original recipe only states that the pizza should be placed in the preheated oven and baked for 15-20 minutes. The exact temperature is not mentioned, so it cannot be determined based on the available information. 3. Can I use olives with pits? Yes, but the pits must be removed before use. The ingredient list specifies pitted olives for quicker preparation and easier serving. 4. How is the pizza sauce prepared? The tomato paste is mixed with a tablespoon of water and a little oregano. This mixture is spread directly onto the rolled-out dough in the tray. 5. Can I prepare the dough without oil? The recipe includes a little oil, added at the end of the kneading. To keep the recipe as it is, oil is added to the dough and a little is used to grease the tray. NUTRITIONAL VALUES The values below are estimates for the entire pizza and may vary depending on the type of sausage, cheese, olives, and the amount of tomato paste and oil used. For the whole pizza: Calories: approximately 2,100-2,300 kcal Protein: approximately 85-100 g Carbohydrates: approximately 230-260 g Fats: approximately 85-105 g Fiber: approximately 12-18 g The estimate is calculated using 300 g of flour, 200 g of sausage, 100 g of cheese, 100 g of olives, and moderate amounts of oil and tomato paste. If the pizza is divided into four equal portions, one portion would have approximately 525-575 kcal, but this division is not specified in the original recipe. STORAGE AND REHEATING The pizza is best fresh out of the oven, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator in a closed container. Since the recipe does not specify a storage time, it is recommended to consume it shortly, while the toppings and crust retain their texture. When reheating, only heat the pieces you plan to serve. They can be reheated in the oven until the cheese softens and the pizza is warm again. Excessive reheating can dry out the crust, especially if it is thin. Category: homemade pizza
