Italian pizza

Easy Homemade Pizza

Miranda | My Anosmic Kitchen
This is an easy pizza recipe that is authentically Italian from the homemade pizza dough, sauce and toppings to how it’s served. Flop free and impressively delicious.
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 3 hours 35 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 420 Grams flour 3 ⅓ cups
  • 1 ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoon yeast
  • 300 ml warm tap water
  • 2 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1 Tsps Honey

Pizza Sauce

  • 400 grams tomatoes Italian canned tomatoes
  • ¼ cup Passata
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
  • ½ teaspoon Calabrese spice
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic & herb Spice

Instructions
 

  • In a jug add the water, honey and yeast. Let is sit aside 5 minutes.
  • Measure out the rest of the ingredients in these 5 minutes.
  • Pour about half of the water, honey and yeast mix (should've bubbled a bit) into the flour and let the processor go on low while pour the rest of the water mix in. This is just to let it start working the dough, stop, clean the sides with a spatula and continue then add the rest of the water mix.
  • While it's going pour in the olive oil. Increase the speed, 30 seconds, stop the processor.
  • Take the dough out onto a floured surface. We are not kneading! Oil the bowl with a drizzle of olive were the dough will rest. You will probably use a bit of flour to get the dough off your hands and shape the dough into a ball. Not a perfect ball and not a lot of fiddling. Just gather the dough into a ball and place it inside the oiled bowl. Cover and let it rest for 2 hours.
  • The dough will now be almost double in size, noticeably. No need to knock it down. Simply remove it from the bowl onto the floured surface and cut it into 3 parts.
  • Again round heaped balls, cover and leave another hour.
  • Just before the hour is up heat the oven.
  • Sprinkle a little flour on your work surface and after the 2nd rise, start with the 1st ball of dough and make a circle. Use your fingers and the palm of your hand to spread it out into a circle. It really doesn't have to be a perfect circle unless that's what you want.
  • You don't need lots of flour but keep it close for sprinkles on your hands and on the surface in case you need it. Also have the baking tray that the pizza/'s will bake in ready with some sprinkled flour over.
  • Add the tomato over the pizza, followed by the cheese, salami and randomly place mozzarella balls all over the pizza.
  • Take the pizza out, turn off the oven and using an egg lifter move the pizzas onto a board to cool down. If you leave them on the trays they will continue cooking so remove them onto a cold surface.

Pizza Sauce

  • Heat the olive oil in a non stick pan and add the canned tomatoes.
  • Add the Calabrese Spice and Garlic a& Herb Spice. Mix and let the spices cook in the tomato for a few seconds.
  • Add the passata, lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
  • Let the tomato sauce cool down before adding it to the pizza crust.
