Greetings my friends, I hope you're all doing well and have started this week with lots of good vibes and optimism. Today I want to share with you all my entry for the weekly contest offered by the @Qurator team, Qurator's: Hive Top Chef! | Pizza. This week's recipe was for pizza, my little daughter Micaela's favorite food. It's truly one of the family's favorites. And when we make it at home, I think it's even better because we can add all the ingredients we want and make it to our liking, haha. Let's start with the step-by-step instructions for this delicious homemade pizza.
Delicious Homemade Pizza- Recipe.
Ingredients:
For the Dough:
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour.
1 1/2 cups warm water.
2 tablespoons oil.
1 teaspoon salt.
1 tablespoon sugar.
2 teaspoons instant yeast.
To make the pizza: for the sauce, 5 ripe tomatoes, oregano, a pinch of sugar, salt, and pepper.
350 g mozzarella cheese, ham, pepperoni, pastrami, mushrooms, to taste.
Dough procedure:
1- In a bowl, add the warm water, yeast, and sugar, mix, and let stand for 10 minutes, or until the mixture is foamy.
2- After 10 minutes, add the flour to the mixer bowl, along with the salt, the activated yeast, and the oil. Beat at medium speed, continuing to mix until you have a smooth dough.
3- Then we remove the dough from the mixer, take it to a counter, if necessary, knead a little more, and form a ball, add a little oil to a bowl, and place the dough, cover it with a plastic bag or a cloth, and let it rise for approximately 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
4- While the dough is rising, we cook the tomato sauce. It's very easy. Just bring the tomatoes to a boil. When they're well cooked, or their skin begins to wrinkle and split, remove from heat, blend, and return to heat. Now add a little oregano, salt, sugar, and basil if you have it. Once it boils, remove from heat and let it rest.
5- Once the rising time is over, remove the dough from the bowl, remove the air, and roll it out with a rolling pin. In my case, I gave it a square shape because that's the pan I have, so my pizza was square, haha. Roll it out well, and with the help of the same rolling pin, place the rolled-out dough in the previously greased and floured baking pan.
6- Now is the time to assemble our pizza, with all the ingredients on the table, we start with the sauce, then the cheese, ham, pepperoni, pastrami, mushrooms, on one side I only added sauce, cheese and ham, as Micaela likes it, and the other part is for the adults haha, at the end I added a little bit of pesto sauce that I had in the fridge, onion and bell pepper strips, and it goes into the oven for approximately 30 minutes or until you see it golden brown.
6- After the time has passed, we remove it from the oven and enjoy the wonderful flavor of homemade pizza. This dough is like a cookie, crispy and very soft. I recommend it to you. Everyone at home was delighted with this pizza.
Now I say goodbye, my friends. I hope you enjoyed this delicious recipe. It was my entry for the contest. Until next time, blessings.
