Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients
  • 500 g all-purpose flour
  • 325 ml water
  • 10 g salt
  • 2 g active dry yeast
Toppings
  • tomato sauce
  • mozzarella cheese
  • fresh basil
  • olive oil

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, combine flour, salt, and yeast. Gradually add water and mix until a dough forms. Knead until smooth.
  2. Let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours.
  3. Preheat the oven to its highest setting (ideally around 250°C / 482°F).
  4. Divide the dough into portions. Roll out each portion into a thin circle.
  5. Spread tomato sauce over the base and add mozzarella cheese.
Baking
  1. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes until the crust is golden.
  2. Top with fresh basil and drizzle with olive oil before serving.

Notes

For the best flavor, let the dough rise properly. Optionally, you can use burrata instead of mozzarella for a gourmet taste. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 2-3 days or freeze for up to a month.
