The last pizza recipe I posted here on the blog, “An easy way to make pizzas“, wasn’t quite the best. Don’t misunderstand me, it is good! It’s just not the best. I was very busy and had to find out the easiest way to make a pizza. Today’s pizza recipe is far better. It consists of a very nice pizza dough, red pepper, onions, champignons and a nice pepperoni/salami. The dough itself is a little more complicated this time, not much, just a little bit. The nice thing about this pizza is that it tastes very well, but it doesn’t contain much fat, because of the many vegetables. If you are careful and bake it the right way, you can get a pizza with a crunchy rind and a soft inner, and you pizza will taste almost as the healthy edition of an old-fashioned deep pan pizza. Let’s begin.
Here is what you need (for 2 big pizzas):
- 300 gram of flour
- 250 gram of pizza flour (typo 55)
- 25 gram of yeast
- 2 teaspoons of liquid honey
- 3 teaspoons of olive oil
- 4 dl lukewarm water
- A pinch of salt
- A good tomato sauce
- 2 big handfuls of champignons
- 1 big onion
- 1 red pepper
- Grated mozzarella cheese
- And some salami / pepperoni
Begin with the dough. Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm water and add honey, oil and salt. Add the flour while you knead it all together. When the dough is well mixed together, place it somewhere warm for about an hour. When the dough has risen for about an hour, knead it again (make sure you don’t squeeze all of the bubbles out of it. That’s the wrong way to go) and split it into to pieces. Roll each piece out until it is about 1 cm thick. Now, spread the tomato sauce over the pizza dough and add some oregano. Add the onions, which you have sliced into half circles and the rest of the vegetables on top of them. Add the salami and sprinkle the mozzarella all over the pizza. Bake the pizzas in a preheated oven at about 250 degrees Celsius until they look nice and crispy. That’s all!
