Ingredients
For the pizza dough:
- 500 g wheat flour
- 25 g fresh yeast
- 300 ml warm water
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the fillings:
- 150 g mozzarella
- 100 g pancetta (or bacon)
- 50 g parmesan
- 100 g goat cheese
- 100 g ricotta (or fresh cheese)
- 100 g salami
- 100 g mushrooms
- 1 red onion
- 1 red bell pepper
- 100 g olives
- 2 large tomatoes
For the tomato sauce:
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste or Univer ketchup
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon basil
- A pinch of pepper
- Water (if necessary)
For decoration:
- 1 egg yolk
- Fresh dill, chopped
- Edible herbs (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preparing the dough: In a large bowl, dissolve the fresh yeast along with the sugar in warm water. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes until it becomes frothy. Add the flour, salt, and olive oil, mixing well until you obtain an elastic dough. Knead for about 10-15 minutes. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rise for 30-45 minutes in a warm place until it doubles in size.
2. Shaping the flower: Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface. Use a rolling pin to roll out a sheet about 5 mm thick. With a large bowl, cut out the central circle and with another smaller one, cut out the "petals" around. Flatten the edges of the central circle with a rolling pin so that they are not too thick.
3. Greasing the dough: Spread a thin layer of egg yolk on the overlapping area of the petals and on their edges to achieve a golden crust. In a bowl, mix the tomato paste or ketchup with oregano, basil, and pepper. If needed, thin it out with a little water. Greasing the petals with this sauce will provide a delicious flavor.
4. Adding the fillings: Fill each petal with your desired combinations of ingredients. In the center of the flower, add the ingredients for Carbonara: mozzarella, pancetta or bacon, egg, and parmesan. On the outer petals, you can use various combinations, such as:
- Formaggiotta: goat cheese, ricotta, egg
- Rustica: salami, mushrooms, fresh cheese
- Capriciosa: mushrooms, pressed ham, olives
- De Casa: salami, bell pepper, red onion, olives
- Margherita: mozzarella, tomatoes, olives, red onion
5. Decorating the flower: Grate a little parmesan or cheese on each petal and in the center. Slice the tomatoes thinly and use a cutter to create flower shapes. Place a slice of tomato on each petal.
6. Baking: Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Place the pizza on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake the pizza for 20-25 minutes. After 10-15 minutes, carefully pour an egg yolk into the center of the flower, ensuring it remains liquid and does not coagulate.
7. Serving: When the pizza is beautifully browned, remove it from the oven and sprinkle a little chopped dill around the yolk. Let it cool for 5-10 minutes, making it easier to cut. Serve with edible herbs for an extra touch of elegance.
Practical Tips
- Filling variations: Be creative! You can experiment with different types of cheeses, meats, or vegetables. For example, add Kalamata olives for a Mediterranean taste or chili peppers for a bit of spice.
- Storing the dough: If you are not using the dough immediately, it can be refrigerated or frozen. Make sure it is well covered to prevent drying out.
- Serving: Serve this delicious pizza alongside a fresh arugula salad with lemon and olive oil or a dry white wine that will complement the rich flavors of the cheeses.
