Pasta/Pizza - Fluffy pizza by Bianca L. - Recipia

Homemade fluffy pizza starts with yeast dissolved in water; after half an hour of rising, the dough stays soft and rises into a thick layer. Eggs and oil go into the dough, while ham, mushrooms, cheese and olives go on top; in the oven, the edges turn golden brown. I slice it while it’s still warm and serve it in wide slices. Preparation: 20 minutes. Cooking: 30 minutes. Resting: 30 minutes. Total time: 80 minutes. Serves: 6. About 670 kcal and 29 g protein per serving.

Ingredients

600 g white flour
200 ml water
42 g fresh yeast
2 eggs
50 g oil
1 teaspoon salt
150 g ham
200 g mushrooms
250 g semi-hard cheese
100 g pitted olives

Preparation

1. Dissolve 42 g of fresh yeast in 200 ml of lukewarm water. Put the flour in a bowl, add the eggs, oil, salt and yeast water, then knead until you have a smooth dough. 2. Cover the dough and leave it to rise for 30 minutes. 3. Slice the mushrooms and ham, grate the cheese and drain the olives. Stretch the dough out in a 30 × 40 cm baking tray and arrange the ham, mushrooms, cheese and olives on top. 4. Preheat the oven to 220°C for 10 minutes. 5. Bake the pizza for 20 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the cheese has melted.

Notes

Small, firm mushrooms are easy to slice; if you wash them, dry them well, as any water left on them will collect in the tray. Cut the ham into thin slices, and well-drained olives won’t leave any liquid on the cheese. A baking tray of about 30 × 40 cm keeps the dough in a thick layer, so there’s no need to stretch it very thin. Serve the slices with a simple green salad. For a meat-free version, leave out the ham and use 300 g of mushrooms; the dough contains gluten and eggs, and the cheese contains dairy. Keep any leftover slices in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat them in an oven preheated to 180°C for 8 minutes, until warmed through and the edges firm up.
