Recipe history:
Pizza has a long history, originating from Italy, but it quickly spread around the world, becoming a symbol of international cuisine. This version, with a cheese-stuffed crust, is a modern reinterpretation that adds a special touch, providing a creamy texture and rich flavor. The cheese-stuffed crust is a less common ingredient but can transform an ordinary pizza into a true delight.
Preparation technique:
1. Preparing the dough: In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast cube in 100 ml of warm water. Add the crumbled sheep cheese, yogurt, olive oil, and salt. Mix the ingredients well until combined. Start adding the flour gradually, mixing with a spatula or your hands until you have an elastic and non-sticky dough. It is important not to let the dough rise, making this recipe perfect for a quick meal.
2. Forming the pizza: On a floured work surface, roll out the dough until you get a thin sheet, about 1 cm thick. Place the dough in an oiled baking tray, ensuring it reaches the corners well.
3. Preparing the toppings: In a bowl, mix the crushed tomatoes with the dried rosemary and basil. This sauce will give the pizza a rich flavor. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough. Then, add the cheese-stuffed crust, bacon, slices of mortadella, diced bell peppers, sweet peppers, and slices of cheese. Top with black olives and tomato slices. Finally, sprinkle grated cheese on top for extra flavor.
4. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180°C (medium temperature) and bake the pizza for about 30 minutes or until the edges are golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Practical tip: If you want an even crispier texture, leave the pizza in the oven for a few extra minutes, but be careful not to burn it. You can also add various spices or herbs to customize the pizza's flavor.
