How to make a pizza

Introduction

Today I wanted to try to make my first pizza! 😊
Unlike the soap guide this actually is a food receipt, 😉 meaning you don’t really have to follow the quantities as I wrote, you can change and play with the ingredients to make your favourite pizza.

Ingredients and tools

Food:

• 500 g of bread flour
• 350 ml of water
• 5 g of salt
• 50 g of olive oil
• 200 g of mozzarella
• 200 g of tomato sauce
• 9 g of yeast (depends on the type)
• oregano

Tools:

• a baking sheet
• a bowl
• a spoon
• a kitchen scale
• a measuring cup

Process

Let’s start by pouring the measured water into the bowl which hosts the 500 g of bread flour and start stirring using the spoon.
Then add the 9 g of yeast, stir with the spoon and then stop for around 5 minutes to let the yeast activate.
Then add the 5 g of salt into the bowl and also pour the 50 g of olive oil into the bowl. Stir around for about 1 minute until it becomes sticky.

Now cover the bowl with a dish to “close” it, and let it rest for about 1 hour and a half. You will now see the dough doubled in size, that’s good!
Now with your hands grab it, bend it, move it a little. It has to feel elastic.

Take the baking sheet and pour a bit of oil on the bottom of the sheet, this will make sure when cooking the dough doesn’t attach to the bottom.
Put the dough on the baking sheet and model it into a spherical shape using your hands.
Cover it using the empty bowl we used earlier for around 10 minutes, so that it relaxes itself.
After that flip it and stretch so that it covers the baking sheet using your hands. Now cover it with something and let it relax for about 1 hour, this will let it rise.
After that uncover it and let’s put the tomato sauce on top of the dough using a spoon, spread it around evenly.

Now it’s finally time to put it into the oven!
Set the oven to 200 degrees top and bottom. When in temperature, put the baking sheet with the dough inside the oven, and let it there for 5 minutes.
After that, take it out of the oven. It’s now time to put all the favourite ingredients on top. 😋 You can put eggs, mushrooms, onions, wurstels and so on… The choice is yours! I will put mozzarella pieces because I always like mozzarella on pizza, and some mushrooms as an extra. As a final piece, put a bit of oregano on top of the pizza, this will give it the usual pizza’s taste.

And now the final step, put it into the oven at 200 degrees of temperature, and leave it inside for around 13 minutes.
This is the last cooking step, after that you can take the pizza out of the oven and that’s it!

Enjoy your pizza! 😄
