There are few things nicer than pizza, and making delicious homemade pizza is very comforting.
Let's make a homemade unleavened pizza , a dough which is obviously very thin as it contains no raising agent. I recommend you make this dough if you have never made a homemade pizza and you want to make an easy pizza dough. We'll move on to the ingredients and then get into the preparation.
Ingredients:
Steps to follow:
The first step we'll take to make our own unleavened pizza will be to measure 300 grams of flour and put it in a bowl. It's important to use all-purpose flour for the best texture, but you can experiment with whole wheat or gluten-free flour for different flavors and dietary needs.
We do the same with the water... Remember that 200 cc is equivalent to 200 ml. For a richer dough, you might consider using mineral water or lightly sparkling water, which can give a unique texture.
Slowly add the oil, salt, sugar and gradually add the water to make the dough wet, beating with a spoon. Olive oil is a traditional choice for its flavor, but you can experiment with other oils like avocado or coconut for a twist. Once you add all the water it's time to get the dough out and "knead" it on a clean, floured surface. If you are not very familiar with the subject I can say that you should "work" the dough so that it becomes compact and homogeneous. Kneading is essential as it helps develop gluten, which gives the dough its elasticity.
Once we notice that the dough is ready, pour some oil on a pizza dish and put the dough on it. If you push the dough into the pizza dish it will start to move out towards the edges. The idea is to continue to maintain the circular shape and for the pizza dough to stay like this (or prettier on the edges). A rolling pin can help achieve an even thickness, but using your hands gives it a more rustic feel.
If we look closely we can see the fingerprints. This personal touch is part of the charm of homemade pizza, showing that it is crafted with care.
Cook on both sides for 10 minutes per side over medium heat (essential for the dough to be cooked through) and then we add sauce and mozzarella. And back in the oven for 5 minutes. You can enhance the flavor by adding herbs like basil or oregano to your sauce, or experimenting with different types of cheese.
Take the pizza out of the oven and add the olives. If you prefer your olives hot you can put it back in the oven for another 2 minutes, otherwise leave them cold. You might also consider adding toppings such as mushrooms, peppers, or onions for a more substantial meal.
And that is it! Here you have an easy unleavened pizza prepared and ready to eat. This recipe is perfect for a quick meal or a fun family activity, leaving plenty of room for creativity with toppings and flavors.
Look at the bottom of the pizza dough to see if it has browned, and there you have it! A crispy base is a hallmark of a well-cooked pizza.
