And if not all, then many people want to master the recipe for real Italian pizza. Namely, everyone is interested in the dough - its recipe is like a secret behind seven locks, in contrast to the filling, with which everything is more or less clear.

I want to immediately put an end to all disputes and speculations about what to cook real pizza it is very difficult and "art" can only be done by chefs Italian restaurants... Not at all! Of course, some skill is needed (it will come to you, if not the first time, then from 2-3, I'm sure :), but in general, real Italian pizza is not at all a sophisticated delicacy, but the dish is very simple, and most importantly - accessible to everyone. Once it was considered a dish exclusively for the poor, replacing both the first and the second.

Real Italian pizza: recipe

So, now I will tell you how to make a classic dough for a real Italian pizza. It is on the test that I will dwell in detail, because Your pizza can have absolutely any filling (that's why it is a pizza - after all, in this way you can humanely "attach" products that are lying in the refrigerator, breathing a second wind into them).

For the test, you will need:

  • water - 125 ml;
  • dry fast-acting yeast - 1.25 tsp;
  • flour - 200-220 g;
  • Extra Virgin olive oil - 1 tablespoon;
  • salt - 1 incomplete teaspoon.

I want to note right away: in order for the dough for real Italian pizza to be 100% correct, use flour only myself highest quality (ideally - Italian flour of grade 00; if you cannot get one, then take "Extra").

So, let's dilute the yeast in 125 ml of warm water. Add a little sugar there - this way the yeast will work faster. While they can be left for 7-10 minutes (after the specified time, the water becomes cloudy and slightly foams).

Sift the flour, add salt there, make a small depression ("hole") in the flour and pour the yeast mixture into it. Mix well first with a spatula, then begin to knead with your hands.

In the first minutes, the dough will be a little sticky (you can add a little flour if necessary), after it becomes smoother (after a minute or two), add olive oil and continue kneading.

Another important subtlety, which must be taken into account when preparing a real Italian pizza, is that the dough must be kneaded well. I do this for about 10 minutes (passing the dough between my fingers, folding in half, twisting in different directions). As a result, the dough will become smooth and elastic.

After that, put the dough in a bowl, cover with a damp towel and set it to “rest” for 30-40 minutes in a warm place (to a slightly open oven or battery). It should approximately double in size.

Next, put the dough on the table (sprinkle it with a little flour) and start rolling or, as real Italian chefs do :), stretch it with your hands until it reaches a round shape. The thickness should be somewhere around 5 mm. To make the bumpers, you need to pinch the edge a little.

Well, our pizza dough is ready. Before putting the filling, be sure to coat the base. copiously tomato sauce.

Important! Preheat the oven to the maximum! Transfer the pizza along with the parchment to a hot baking sheet (it is better to keep it in the oven for 5-10 minutes). Real Italian pizza is baked for a minimum of time (5-7 minutes depending on the oven) at the maximum temperature. And I also advise on the bottom shelf. As soon as a golden brown crust appears, take it out!

Real Italian pizza. By the way, about the sauce

You can buy tomato paste at the store (perhaps the easiest way). But you can make the sauce to your liking, adding brightness and flavor.

I make the sauce like this:

Scald 2 tomatoes, peel off. Cut and send to stew in a skillet (add a little water and olive oil if necessary). Cut 1 onion there. Season with salt and pepper (Italian spices such as oregano or basil can be added if desired). After all the contents have quenched and become mushy, remove from heat and simmer until smooth with a blender.

P.S. For those who preserve their figure, I suggest trying it: soft, with a crispy crust and exciting aroma, it will certainly surprise you!

The recipe is taken from an Italian restaurant.

175 g flour
1/4 tsp salt

125 ml warm water

Mix together salt, flour and yeast. Mix water and oil. Knead the dough well. Roll into a ball, brush with olive oil, wrap in plastic wrap and put in heat for 45 minutes. Then roll it out thinly on a floured table, leaving thicker edges. Grease with pizza sauce (except for the edges), sprinkle with grated gouda cheese (it melts well), spread the filling in a thin layer on top. Put in an oven heated to 210 degrees for about 20 minutes.

(Eggs, seafood, onions, mushrooms, if indicated in the filling, are added raw. The egg is poured into the middle of the pizza. It is baked in the oven.)

My favorite fillings: capricciosa + olives and feferons, tuna and frutti di mare. In general, I have done it a hundred times already, because mine adore it to the point of impossibility.

I also wanted to add that I often do thin pizza for the whole baking sheet of 2 portions of dough (rectangular) (this is faster than 2 separate pizzas), because I have 3 men and one of them, of course, is not enough. I cut it with a special round pizza knife, first cross on a cross diagonally, then in the corners.

The key to success in making real Italian pizza is its base - the dough. To prepare it, use the finest flour - zero grinding in pure form or with the addition of ordinary flour top grade... Real Italian pizza is usually made from thin dough, but depending on taste preferences, the dough can be made fluffy.

Real, ideal Italian pizza is baked in a special Italian oven with oak wood at a temperature of 485 degrees for 1-1.5 minutes. With this preparation, the pizza turns out to be deliciously crispy on the outside, fragrant and juicy on the inside. It is extremely difficult to achieve such a result without a miracle oven, but we will tell you how to make dough for Italian pizza so that the pizza is as close to the original as possible.
