The dough we will prepare is the perfect base for a delicious pizza, and its secret lies in patience and attention to detail. The first step is to ensure that the dough is prepared 24 hours before using it. In a food processor, we add all the necessary ingredients: flour, water, yeast, salt, and olive oil. We let the processor mix the ingredients for 5-7 minutes until we achieve a delicate and homogeneous texture. If you don't have a food processor, don't worry! You can knead the dough by hand, making sure to work it until it no longer sticks to your hands.
Once the dough is ready, we divide it into 3 equal parts, shaping them into balls. We then prepare 3 bowls, greasing them with a little oil so that the dough doesn't stick. We place the dough balls in these bowls, cover them with plastic wrap, and let them ferment in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours. This step is essential as it allows the flavors to develop and the dough to become easier to work with.
In the meantime, we take care of the tomato sauce. If you don't have tomato juice on hand, don't worry; it's easy to make! We use 2 fresh tomatoes, which we puree in a blender. We put the resulting puree to boil in a pot, adding chili seeds and pepper to give it a spicy note. We let the sauce boil until it no longer bubbles on the surface, a sign that it is ready.
After the dough has been in the refrigerator for 24 hours, it's time to use it. We take each bowl and turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Do not use a rolling pin to flatten it; instead, using flour-covered fingers, gently stretch the dough, keeping the edges thicker to form a delicious crust. Once stretched, we transfer the dough to a baking sheet.
Now it's time to add the toppings. We put a layer of tomato sauce, then add pieces of kaiser and mozzarella. We place the pizza with the baking paper in the preheated oven at 160 degrees Celsius. We bake for about 12 minutes, but it's essential to check from time to time to ensure it doesn't burn.
Once the pizza is baked, we take it out of the oven and sprinkle fresh basil leaves, chopped or whole, for an extra flavor. Enjoy this hot delicacy, savoring every bite! This recipe will not only delight your taste buds but will also bring a touch of joy to every meal.
