Pasta/Pizza - Perfect thin-crust pizza by Clementina G. - Recipia

Perfect thin-crust pizza is baked as two thin crusts, topped with salami, ham and cheeses, until the edges are golden. It’s a homemade pizza with salami, ketchup and vegetables on top, made with yeasted dough and usually served for dinner. I cut each crust into eight slices. Preparation: 20 minutes. Cooking: 28 minutes. Resting: 65 minutes. Total time: 113 minutes. Servings: 4. About 790 kcal and 35 g of protein per serving.

Ingredients

For the crust

  • 360 ml lukewarm water
  • 7 g dry yeast
  • 30 ml olive oil
  • 438 g flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon oregano

For the topping

  • 100 g ketchup
  • 80 g thinly sliced salami
  • 80 g thinly sliced ham
  • 120 g bell pepper
  • 75 g onion
  • 150 g tomatoes
  • 100 g grated Emmental
  • 125 g mozzarella

Preparation

1. Pour the lukewarm water into a bowl and sprinkle the dry yeast over it. Leave for 5 minutes without stirring. 2. Add the olive oil, then gradually mix in the flour, salt and oregano. Knead for 10 minutes, until the dough no longer sticks to your hands. 3. Cover the bowl and leave the dough to rise for 60 minutes, until it doubles in size. 4. Divide the dough in two and roll each piece out thinly. Spread with ketchup, then add the salami, ham, sliced pepper and onion, sliced tomatoes, grated Emmental and mozzarella. 5. Bake the two pizzas at 220°C for 28 minutes, until the edges are lightly browned.

Notes

A green salad goes well with it; a cold slice is a little like salami bread. Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. In a cool room, the dough may need more than an hour to double in size. Choose meaty tomatoes and slice them thinly; if they release a lot of juice, pat them dry before putting them on the crust. The middle can stay soft if there’s too much topping; the crust contains gluten, and the cheeses are dairy.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use fresh yeast instead of dry yeast?

Yes. Replace the 7 g packet with 21 g of fresh yeast and crumble it into the lukewarm water.

What should I do if the dough springs back when I roll it out?

Cover it and leave it for 10 minutes, then try rolling it out again.

Should fresh mozzarella be drained?

Yes, leave it to drain for 15 minutes before putting it on the pizza, so it doesn’t release too much liquid while baking.
