Parmigiana-inspired pizza

If you’ve known me from more than 20 seconds you know that I really love baking, especially bread and pizzas. I’m not the only one for sure! This is the reason why today I like sharing a new pizza version: Parmigiana-inspired.  Cherry tomatoes, ham, mozzarella, aubergine, basil and the traditional salted Ricotta.

 

SERVES 4 PEOPLE
READY IN 14h  (or less)

 

INGREDIENTS

1 lb all-purpose flour

½ oz salt

1 cup warm water

½ oz  brewer’s yeast  dissolved into 2 tablespoons warm water

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

All-purpose flour to taste

 

10-12 cherry tomatoes

2 mozzarellas

1 aubergine + oil to taste

 

extra virgin olive oil to taste

1 cup mashed tomatoes

4 slices ham

salt and oil to taste

 

Salted Ricotta cheese to taste

basil leaves to taste

 

 

STEP 1: MAKE THE DOUGH

In a bowl, place the flour, the salt and ¾ cup warm water.Mix with a fork. Add the brewer’s yeast  dissolved into 2 tablespoons warm water, the oil and the remaining water until you get a wet mixture. Sprinkle the dough with all-purpose flour, place in in a bowl, cover the bowl with cling film and put it into the fridge all night long.

 

STEP 2: REMOVE THE DOUGH FROM THE FRIDGE

3-4 hours before using, remove the bowl from the fridge and let it stand at room temperature (for 3 or 4 hours).

In the meantime:

  • cut cherry tomatoes in 4 parts
  • slice mozzarella
  • slice aubergine, spread oil on each slice and cook them for 2 minutes on a hot grill

 

STEP 3: ROLL OUT THE DOUGH

Place some oil in a rectangular baking tin, then place the dough in it pressing with fingers.

 

STEP 4: FILL

Spread mash tomatoes on the dough, then add cherry tomatoes, ham, aubergine and mozzarella. Season with salt and oil.

 

STEP 5: COOK

Cook pizza in preheated oven at 250°C for ab. 20 minutes.

 

STEP 6: AT LAST

Sprinkle pizza with salted Ricotta and basil leaves.

 

CONSIGLIO: I prefer long leavening, but if you have non time you can add more yeast and let the dough rising for only two hours.
