Three-flavour Pizza

Today I decided to try something different so I prepared it with three different toppings and also another dough recipe: 

Pizza Dough (Jamie Oliver's basic bread recipe):
400 g. strong white bread flour or Tipo "00" flour
10 g of baking powder
15 g of honey
300 ml of lukewarm water
15g of salt

Start by mixing the dry ingredients: the flour, baking powder and the salt and open a hole in the middle. Dissolute the honey in half of the lukewarm water and pour it in the middle. Slowly cover the liquid with the flour, add the rest of the water and knead it for about 5 minutes, (correcting the ingredients quantities if needed). Let it rest for about 1 hour.

After Shaping and flatten the dough it was finally ready to add the topping:

Start by adding the tomato sauce, (see the recipe in the previous post here on the blog) and than the mozzarella cheese.  Then add the ham, (right low corner of the image), the tomatoes covered with a splash of extra virgin olive oil and oreganos, and finally the ricota cheese.

Take it to the pre-heated oven, (250ºC) and let it cook, for about 10-12 minutes. Finish with some leafs of hedge mustard, I used some baby leafs from my kitchen garden and it's ready!

My first Pizza!


Yesterday I finally prepared my first pizza! 
I must thank my friend Martina Piso, for the tips and the recipe of the dough. 

First basic tip,(mainly for ME...), for this recipe or any other one: Start to see what you have at home, before going to the supermarket again!...
Yesterday when I started to list in my mind if I had everything I needed I discovered that I didn't have yeast, so I went to the city centre to buy it and only when I was starting to weigh the flour, I saw it was a self-raising flour... So no yeast was needed!


Pizza Dough:
500 g of wheat flour (as in this case it was self-raising flour, I didn't use yeast, I've bought one kind of flour special prepared for pizzas...)
Salt 
a bit of sugar 
water
2 soup spoons of olive oil

After preparing the dough, I let it rest for about 1h.
After Shaping and flatten the dough it was finally ready to prepare the pizza:

I Started by adding the tomato sauce, (to see the recipe just follow the link), then the mozzarella cheese and the bacon and on the top the mushrooms.

The last step, put it on the pre-heated oven, (250ºC) and let it cook, for about 10-12 minutes.


 For the first time it was really good, the next time I must improve the dough that was a bit thick for my particular taste...
