pizza tomato mozzarella

 

Baked on the pizza stone!

 

What you need

  • Ideally, a grillart pizza stone 😉
  • Some flour for dusting

 

Ingredients for 2 pizzas

For the pizza dough:

  • 250 ml lukewarm water
  • 500 g flour (Type 405)
  • 1 cube of yeast
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 pinch of sugar

For the tomato sauce:

  • 1 can whole tomatoes (400 g)
  • 1 small onion
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp each of basil, oregano & rosemary
  • 1 pinch of salt & pepper

For the pizza:

  • 300 - 400 g cherry tomatoes
  • 2 balls of mozzarella
  • 2 tbsp pizza seasoning
  • 1 bunch of basil (approx. 20 g)

 

Dough preparation

For the pizza dough, pour the lukewarm water into a bowl, crumble in the yeast, and stir well with the salt and a pinch of sugar. Let rise for 10-15 minutes.

Sift the flour into a bowl, pour the oil and the liquid over the flour, and knead well. Knead for at least 5 minutes, first with the dough hooks of a mixer and then by hand. This will make the dough smooth and supple. If the dough is sticky, simply add a little more flour.

Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rest in a warm place for about 30-40 minutes. Divide the dough in half, roll it out on a floured work surface, and shape into a pizza.

 

Tomato sauce preparation

Finely chop the onion and garlic and sauté in olive oil over medium heat until translucent.

Deglaze with the tomatoes and crush them with a fork. Stir the tomato sauce with a wooden spoon and season with the herbs.

Finally, season to taste with salt and pepper. Let the tomato sauce simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes.

 

Pizza preparation

Preheat the pizza stone in the oven at maximum temperature for about 20-30 minutes.

Spread the tomato sauce over the pizza base. Cut the mozzarella into thin slices and distribute over the tomato sauce.

Halve the cherry tomatoes and distribute them over the pizza along with the basil. Finally, sprinkle one tablespoon of pizza seasoning over each pizza.

Dust the pizza peel with some flour and slide it under the pizza. Place it on the pizza stone, pull the peel back with a jerk, and bake at 250°C – 300°C for about 10 minutes. When the pizza is done, sprinkle with fresh basil and enjoy!

 Great taste can be this simple. 😊
