Home alone: “A lovely cheese pizza just for me”

Ingredients (4 servings):

Dough:

• 4 g fresh yeast (about 1 tsp) 

• 700 g wheat flour (00 flour) + more for kneading

• 5 dl water

• 2 tsp salt

• 2 tbsp olive oil

Toppings:

• Pizza sauce

• 100g mozzarella

• 100g ricotta

• 50g gorgonzola

• 50g parmesan

• ruccola or fresh basil

How to:

Dough:

Crumble the yeast into a big bowl. Add the flour and water, mix and knead for 5-10 minutes. Next add the salt and oil. Knead for another 5-10 minutes.

Divide the dough into 4 equal parts, roll each one into a smooth ball and rub olive oil over them. Put them onto a cutting board, cover with clean cloth and let rise for 4 hours at room temperature.

Topping:

Turn the oven to 250C. Leave the baking tray you are going to use in the oven (this will give a similar effect on the pizza as a pizza stone would).

Roll out each ball onto a parchment paper, and cover with store bought or homemade pizza sauce. Add the different types of cheeses and when the oven is ready, bake in the middle of the oven for 10 minutes.
