Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 25 minutes
Total time: 55 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
For the dough:
- 300 g flour
- 1/2 cube of fresh yeast (about 20 g)
- 1 teaspoon of sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 175 ml warm water
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
For the filling:
- 300 g fresh mushrooms (champignon or any preferred type)
- 1 medium onion
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 50 g butter
- 100 ml white wine (optional, but recommended for a deeper flavor)
- 60 g tomato juice (tomato sauce)
- 100 g salami (or another preferred cold cut)
- olives (optional)
- ketchup (for spreading)
- salt, pepper, and oregano to taste
- 100 g grated cheese (for topping)
- fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Preparation:
Step 1: Prepare the dough
1. In a large bowl, add the flour, sugar, and salt. Mix them well with a spatula or wooden spoon.
2. In the center of the flour mixture, make a well. In this hole, add the yeast dissolved in a little warm water. The yeast will activate fermentation, and your pizza will have a fluffy dough.
3. Start to gently mix the ingredients around the yeast, gradually adding the remaining warm water. Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4. Finally, add the olive oil and knead for another 2-3 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
5. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, until it doubles in volume.
Step 2: Prepare the filling
1. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and crushed garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until they become translucent and fragrant.
2. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until they soften and release their juice.
3. Pour the white wine into the skillet and let it simmer for a few minutes until the alcohol evaporates and the flavors blend.
4. Add the tomato juice and season with salt, pepper, and oregano to taste. Let it simmer for another 2 minutes, then remove the skillet from the heat and let the filling cool.
5. Once the filling has cooled slightly, add the diced salami and olives. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
Step 3: Assemble and bake the pizza
1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (or 200°C if using a fan oven).
2. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1 cm thick. Choose the desired shape (round or square) according to the baking tray you are using.
3. Spread a thin layer of ketchup on the dough, then add the mushroom, salami, and olive filling, distributing it evenly over the surface.
4. Place the tray in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the dough is golden and crispy.
5. Five minutes before removing the pizza from the oven, sprinkle the grated cheese and chopped fresh parsley on top for an extra touch of flavor and color.
Step 4: Serving
1. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. This will allow the toppings to settle and retain their flavors.
2. Serve the pizza warm, alongside a fresh salad or a garlic yogurt sauce. You can pair this dish with a refreshing drink or a dry white wine that will highlight the delicious flavors of the pizza.
Tips and tricks:
- If you want an even fluffier dough, you can let the dough rise longer, even up to an hour.
- Feel free to experiment with various fillings! Substitute mushrooms with peppers, zucchini, or even anchovies, depending on your preferences.
- If you don't have fresh yeast, you can use dry yeast (about 7 g).
- Pizza is a versatile dish, so don't hesitate to add ingredients you love!
