Hylians thread about pizza gave me the idea to create a thread which is solely for the sake of posting your favourite recipes.
I'll make a start with a recipe for homemade pizza. I'll use the metric system for the amount of the ingredients you'll need.
For 4 Persons (moderate eaters), you'll need:
For the pizza dough:
- 1 cube of yeast (ca. 20 grams)
- about 200 ml of water (to get an very special, "airy" dough, use sparkly mineral water)
- 300 grams of wheat
- a little bit of wheat so the dough won't stick on the table when you roll it out
- 2 normal spoons of olive oil for the doug
- 1 coffee spoon of salt
Put the wheat in a bowl. Add the water, olive oil, salt and the yeast -> mix and knead it until you got a nice dough. Then cover the bowl with the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least an hour. When you let the dough rest, you can prepare the sauce for the topping:
For the topping:
tomato sauce. Okay, here's my recipe for my "special tomato sauce:
- 4 fresh tomatoes
- 1 onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- salt, pepper, basilicum
- 2 normal spoons of tomatoe puree
- 2 normal spoons of olive oil
Other toppings:
- 300 gram Mozarella cheese
- 100 gram ham
- 100 gram mushrooms
- 1 peperoni
- 1/2 onion
- 1 thinly sliced Tomato without the "inards" (you know, the wet and messy thing on the inside of a tomato...)
- whatever you like
Dice the onion, the garlic and the tomatoes. Heat the olive oil in a pot. Add the onions and the garlic, let it cook for about a minute or two. Then add the tomatoes. Let it cook until it "looses some water". Then add the salt, pepper and basilicum and mix everything. Let it cook for another 4 or 5 minutes, add the tomatoe puree. Let it cook for the minutes on reduced heat, then take it of the fire and let the sauce cool down. (btw, this sauce is also delicious for pasta).
After the dough is ready, disperse a little bit of wheat on a clean and flat surface. Make a nice, flat form out of the dough (about 5 mm thick).
Then apply the now cool tomato sauce and the rest of the toppings. Remember to apply the mozarella as last, otherwise your other toppings will get too dark and burnt.
Pre-heat the oven to about 230-250 ° C, with heat from above and below.
Put the pizza in the middle level of the oven, let it cook for about 20 to 30 min... (always keep a watchful eye on your pizza: depending on the oven and the amount of toppings it can take longer or shorter.)
Enjoy your own pizza.
If you don't have the time to make your own dough, pre-manufactured dough from the supermarket will do also.
