In the gastronomic universe, there is a magical round delicacy that transcends cultures and borders and captivates countless diners – pizza, which is full of creativity and possibilities. Imagine a crispy crust covered with colorful ingredients, rich cheese bubbling slightly at high temperatures, giving off an irresistible aroma. Today, let's unveil the mystery of this global darling and make a feast for your taste buds.
First and foremost, it's important to create the perfect pizza base. Take the high-gluten flour, add a pinch of salt and dry yeast, and slowly stir with warm water to form a ball. The key is the temperature of the water, too hot will kill the yeast, too cold will slow fermentation. Gently knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic, as if it were a treasure in the hands of a pastry chef. Cover it with a damp cloth and set it in a warm place to wait for the miracle to happen – in about an hour, the dough will magically swell and be filled with air.
Then, creative ingredients come into play. From classic tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese to personalized pineapple, smoked bacon and even fresh seafood, choose your favorite. Remember, fresh ingredients are king, and every piece of vegetable should maintain its true color and flavor. Preheat the oven to its highest temperature, which is key to the crispiness of the pizza base. Gently roll out the leavened dough to form your preferred shape, without having to go overboard for the perfect round shape, and the natural edges add to the handmade beauty.
Finally, evenly coat the dough with a thin layer of tomato sauce, sprinkle with a thick layer of mozzarella cheese as a binder, and top with the various ingredients you have carefully prepared. Finally, don't forget to sprinkle a light layer of cheese on top, the secret weapon of the brushed effect. Slide the artwork into the preheated oven and wait patiently for 12-0 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is completely melted or even slightly browned. The moment you take it out, the whole kitchen will be enveloped in the aroma of bliss. The joy of making pizza lies in the creation and expectation of starting from scratch, as well as the warm time of sitting and sharing with family and friends.
