Here’s how to create this unique pizza step by step.
Ingredients
For the dough:
- 300 g flour (preferably type 550 or 000 for a fluffier dough)
- 1/2 tablespoon iodized salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar (to help activate the yeast)
- 1 tablespoon dry yeast (make sure it is fresh)
- 200 ml warm water (not hot, to avoid killing the yeast)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for added flavor)
For the filling:
- 5 plums (choose ripe plums for a sweet-tart flavor)
- 100 g Delaco goat cheese (creamy and flavorful)
- 50 g fillet mignon (for a touch of flavor)
- 2 g oregano (or to taste)
- 150 ml Univer ketchup (for a slightly sweet and delicious base)
Instructions
1. Preparing the dough:
Start by adding the ingredients to the bread machine’s container. It is important to follow this order: water, sifted flour, salt, sugar, yeast, and then olive oil. This order will ensure the correct activation of the yeast and optimal rising of the dough.
2. Kneading and proofing:
Set the machine to knead and proof, which will take about 90 minutes. This step is essential for achieving a fluffy and well-aerated dough. If you do not have a bread machine, you can knead the dough manually for 10 minutes, then let it proof in a warm place, covered with a damp towel.
3. Shaping the pizza bases:
Once the dough has risen, sprinkle a little flour on the work surface and turn out the dough. Divide it into 2-4 pieces, depending on the desired size of the pizza. Use a rolling pin to roll each piece into a round pizza shape. Place the bases on baking trays lined with parchment paper.
4. Assembling the pizza:
Start by spreading a generous layer of Univer ketchup on the base of each pizza. Add the goat cheese cut into cubes, followed by the plums cut into quarters. Arrange them artistically to create an appetizing appearance. Add the fillet mignon cubes and sprinkle oregano on top to enhance the flavors. You can also add an extra drizzle of ketchup for a more attractive look.
5. Baking the pizza:
Preheat the oven to 220°C. Once the oven is well heated, place the pizzas inside and bake for about 20 minutes or until the edges are golden and crispy.
6. Serving:
Once the pizzas are ready, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Cut them into slices and serve warm. They are perfect alongside a cup of tea or coffee, but also with a glass of natural juice.
Practical tips
- Choose ingredients carefully: Use ripe plums, as they add a sweet-tart flavor that perfectly complements goat cheese. If you do not have goat cheese, you can use feta or mozzarella.
- Variations: You can experiment with different types of fruits, such as apricots or peaches, and add ingredients like nuts or almonds for added texture.
- Make it heartier: If you want a heartier version, add some slices of bacon or prosciutto on top for a delicious contrast between sweet and salty.
Nutritional benefits
This sweet pizza is not only a delicacy but also a source of valuable nutrients. Plums are rich in antioxidants, vitamins A and C, while goat cheese provides quality protein and calcium. Additionally, using whole wheat flour instead of white flour can increase the fiber content of the pizza, which is beneficial for healthy digestion.
Frequently asked questions
1. Can I use fresh yeast instead of dry yeast?
Yes, you can use fresh yeast. Use about 25 g of fresh yeast, dissolved in warm water.
2. How can I store the pizza for the next day?
The pizza can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. You can reheat it in the oven to restore its crispy texture.
3. Is it possible to make pizza gluten-free?
Sure! You can replace the flour with a gluten-free variant, but make sure to follow the proportion instructions for gluten-free dough.
4. What drinks go well with sweet pizza?
This pizza pairs wonderfully with fruit tea, a smoothie, or even a sweet white wine that will complement the flavors.
