Preparation time: 20 minutes Baking time: 15 minutes Total time: 35 minutes Number of servings: 4 A Brief History of Pizza Pizza, as we know it today, has deep roots in the culinary traditions of many cultures, but it gained popularity especially in modern times. It evolved from being a simple dough and tomato dish to a true symbol of international cuisine. Whether you prefer a pizza with simple ingredients or one rich in cheeses, this dish is always welcome. Ingredients For the dough: - 100 ml warm water - 1/2 teaspoon salt - 1 teaspoon sugar - 2 tablespoons olive oil - 200 g flour - 1/2 cube fresh yeast For the filling: - 150 g grated cheese - 1/2 box Delaco fine cheese - a few dew mushrooms - a pinch of salt - a pinch of freshly ground pepper - fresh oregano leaves For the tomato sauce: - 1 small cup tomato juice - salt and pepper to taste - 1 teaspoon sugar - a few drops of Piri Piri sauce - 1 teaspoon dried basil - 1 teaspoon olive oil Making the Dough 1. Activating the yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water, fresh yeast, and sugar. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy. This step is essential as it proves that the yeast is active. 2. Mixing the ingredients: In a large bowl, add the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture along with the olive oil. Use a spatula or your hands to combine the ingredients until you have a smooth dough. 3. Kneading the dough: On a lightly oiled surface, knead the dough for 5-10 minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more flour. 4. Rising the dough: Place the dough in a bowl oiled, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 15-20 minutes until it doubles in size. Making the Tomato Sauce 1. Mixing the ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the tomato juice, salt, pepper, sugar, Piri Piri sauce, dried basil, and olive oil. Mix well to combine the flavors. Assembling the Pizza 1. Rolling out the dough: Once the dough has risen, turn it onto a lightly oiled work surface. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a round shape, the size of your pan. 2. Preparing the pan: Use a Lionese pan (or a larger tray for a thinner crust) that you grease with a little oil. Place the rolled dough in the pan. 3. Adding the sauce: Spread the dough with 3-4 tablespoons of the prepared tomato sauce. 4. Adding the cheeses: Evenly sprinkle the grated cheese and Delaco fine cheese. Here and there, add a few dew mushrooms, which will bring a wonderful umami note to your pizza. 5. Seasoning: Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground pepper, then add fresh oregano leaves for extra flavor. Baking the Pizza 1. Preheating the oven: Preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius. 2. Baking: Place the pan in the oven and let it bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbling. Serving Once the pizza is ready, let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve it warm, alongside a fresh green salad or a glass of red wine. This dish is perfect for a family dinner or an evening with friends. Variations and Useful Tips - Topping variations: You can add pepperoni, olives, bell peppers, or even pineapple, depending on your preferences. - Dough: If you want a thinner crust, you can use a larger tray. Alternatively, you can experiment with whole grain flour for a healthier dough. - Sauce: If you like a spicy note, you can add more Piri Piri sauce or chopped hot pepper. Nutritional Benefits This cheese and dew mushroom pizza is not only tasty but also full of nutrients. The cheeses provide protein and calcium, while the mushrooms are an excellent source of fiber and antioxidants. Additionally, the tomato sauce is rich in lycopene, a compound with antioxidant properties. Frequently Asked Questions 1. Can I use dry yeast instead of fresh yeast? Yes, you can use dry yeast. In this case, use about 1/4 of the amount of fresh yeast. 2. How can I store leftover pizza? Pizza can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 2-3 days. You can reheat it in the oven to restore its crispiness. 3. How can I make this recipe vegan? For a vegan version, you can use plant-based cheese and olive oil, and for the tomato sauce, make sure not to add any animal-derived ingredients. Now that you have all the necessary information, all that's left is to start cooking! Enjoy every bite of this cheese and dew mushroom pizza, and don't forget to savor every moment spent in the kitchen. Bon appétit!
