Instructions
The pizza dough
- Warm some water in a mixing bowl and then add the sugar so that it disintegrates, then also add in the instant yeast
- Stir properly so that the yeast dissolves.
- Add 1 cup of whole wheat flour, olive oil and salt after the yeast has bubbled and mix everything together with a spoon.
- Add another cup of flour and mix again.
- Finally add one more cup of flour and mix till it gets a little harder
- Then knead the dough, separate it into two parts if that might be easier, but remember to combine them and knead again properly
- Spread olive oil over the dough and leave it in the pan, then cover it with a kitchen towel and let the dough leaven for an hour or two.
The pizza sauce
- Rinse and chop the tomatoes, then puree them in the blender
- Heat the olive oil in a small pan, then add the garlic and sauté on a low flame
- Add the tomato puree and sauté for a few minutes till the tomatoes are cooked.
- Then add in the basil, oregano, salt and pepper, stir and simmer for a few minutes on a low to medium flame.
- Once cooked, remove from the fire and let it cool.
Making the pizza base
- Once leavened, divide the dough into two or three parts, lightly knead each portion and keep it covered for a 20 minutes. Each portion will yield one pizza.
- Grease a 9-10 diameter round pan with olive oil, dust the pan with some flour and preheat your oven to 250 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes
- Take one portion, lightly dust the dough and with a rolling pin, roll the dough into a 8-9 diameter circle and then gently lift it and set it in the pan
- Brush some oil on the dough
- Take 4 tablespoons of the pizza sauce and spread it over the pizza base
- Then add 3 tablespoons of the shredded mozzarella cheese
- And finally top it off with the vegetables and add some more cheese.
- Then slide the tray into the center of the over, so that it cooks from the top and the bottom.
- Bake for 12 – 15 minutes till the cheese has melted.
- And it’s ready to serve.
