Homemade pizza. Homemade pizza. How to make Caesar pizza

Today's article will be about pizza. This Italian product, like pasta, has long taken root with us.

But it’s one thing to have a thin pancake on which lie several pieces of meat, sausage and vegetables, lightly covered with melted cheese on top, and another thing homemade pizza – pie, in which you select all the ingredients and their quantities at your discretion. You can feed several adults enough to eat this pizza., with little finances. Compare for yourself:

I will say right away that the quantity of products will be given based on one and a half baking sheets, since we usually use a small baking sheet for those who have not eaten enough, and you have already themselves As you cook, you will select the amount of products that you consider optimal.

We will need:

1. Boiled sausage - 500 grams (take “Doctorskaya”);
2. Hard cheese - about 300 grams (usually we take “Dutch”);
3. Sunflower oil;
4. Flour;
5. Yeast (dry);
6. Tomatoes - 4 pcs;
7. Onions - 2 heads;
8. Fresh cucumbers - 3 pcs;
9. Greens;
10. Mayonnaise.

Take good quality mayonnaise and sausage, because we make what we love for ourselves. Bell peppers are not for everyone, but keep in mind that they add piquancy and flavor to the pizza.

Let's start with yeast dough, which is prepared in the same way as for cooking.
Take 400 grams of warm milk, one egg, half a teaspoon of salt, and mix everything.

Pour about 300 grams of flour on top of the milk - do not mix. Pour a packet of dry yeast on top of the flour, and now the whole thing can be mixed.

While kneading the dough, add flour little by little. Don't make the dough too dense. In many recipes they write that you need to add flour until the dough stops taking it and so that it does not stick to your hands. This case does not suit us, the dough should be soft and elastic. The denser the dough, the heavier the cake, and we need a light, porous cake. The dough will stick to your hands, but do not add flour, but rather grease your hands with sunflower oil.

This is what the dough should look like, now cover it with a towel and put it in a warm place for an hour and a half. You can fill the bathtub with warm water and place a cup of dough in it.

While the dough is rising, let's start cutting the products. Usually we carry out the cutting procedure with the whole family, it is quick, and everyone can say that they participated in the preparation of the pizza. Let's start, for example, with onions. Cut the onion into half rings.

We cut the tomatoes into rings; if that doesn’t work, then you can use half rings. There is no fundamental difference here.

The next step is to cut the bell pepper; if you don’t like it, you can add, for example, fried mushrooms. In a word - improvise.

It is advisable to cut cucumbers for pizza into thin slices - they are softer, and if the skin is hard, then cut it off.

Cut the sausage into small cubes. I repeat once again, don't skimp on sausage, you'll have to eat it yourself.

All that remains is to grate the cheese on a coarse grater and wait for our dough to rise.

When the dough is ready, you will see that it has increased several times.

Grease the pan with sunflower oil, separate a piece of approximately two-thirds of the dough from the main mass and distribute it evenly over the entire surface of the pan so that you get something like a large pancake.

Turn on the oven and set the regulator to 200 degrees. While you are forming the pizza, during this time your oven will heat up.
The final stage has begun. Take three teaspoons of tomato paste and dilute them in water to make a thick tomato juice, and spread it with a spoon over the surface of the pancake. Reserve some tomato for the remaining piece of dough. Place sausage on top in one layer.

Place cucumbers on the sausage and apply a little mayonnaise on top. Adjust the amount of mayonnaise according to your discretion and taste. Maybe someone likes it a lot, and someone likes it a little, again, use any mayonnaise, from classic varieties to light ones. Who likes it how?

Now we add bell pepper, but since not everyone in our family likes it, so only half of the pizza is covered with pepper. Instead of pepper, you can put, for example, mushrooms. Sprinkle the whole thing with onions on top, and to make the onions juicier and softer, lightly crush them in your hand until the juice appears, and again apply a little mayonnaise to the top layer.

We put tomatoes in one row, lightly apply mayonnaise and cover the whole thing with grated cheese.

Now we put the pizza in the oven for about twenty to twenty-five minutes. But periodically lift the edges of the cake and check its baking so that it does not burn. The time depends on how your oven bakes..

Good luck!

It is unknown when exactly pizza became popular around the world. At first it was a simple thick flatbread made from dough and topped with tomato sauce. And now - a thin pie made from yeast dough with the addition of filling. Not long ago, the D.O.C. mark was installed in Italy, confirming the high quality of pizza. It is assigned only to those dishes in which the dough is rolled out by hand, and not by machine or with a rolling pin. This is the secret to making real pizza.

How to make pizza dough

Unleavened yeast dough

A glass of warm water or milk.
Salt - one-half teaspoon.
Yeast – 20 grams.
Egg.
Unrefined olive oil or margarine - three to four tablespoons.
Sugar - one and a half tablespoons.
Flour - four to five glasses.

Preparation:
Pour warm water or milk (about 30 ° C) into an enamel bowl and add yeast. Mix the sifted flour, salt, egg, sugar for about 5-8 minutes until a not very stiff, homogeneous dough comes out. Add warm olive oil, stir, cover loosely and set aside. After 2 hours, the dough should rise and you need to knead it. After 40-50 minutes the dough should begin to fall. You need to knead again, sprinkle with flour and place on the table to cut.

Influence of ingredients on dough quality:

If you increase the amount of butter, the cake will come out crumbly and will not go stale longer.
If you take milk instead of water, the appearance and taste will improve.
If you use too little water, you will end up with a tough pizza.
If you use too much water, you will end up with a flattened, mushy pizza.

How to make pizza without dough

The good thing about making pizza is that you can experiment at any time. Let's make a pizza with potatoes instead of dough. Cooking time 10-20 minutes. Let's say we have a family of 4 people. For 4 servings we need:

Basil - eight leaves.
Pepperoni - eight to ten slices.
Marinera sauce - one-fourth cup.
Mozzarella cheese - three-quarters cups.
Salt - four teaspoons.
Potatoes - two pieces.

Preparation:
Potatoes need to be cut into thin strips. They are used as a crust. To get a crispy crust, you should use a cast iron frying pan with a thick bottom. You need to pour 3-4 tablespoons of unrefined olive oil into it. Then heat the frying pan until smoking and spread the potatoes evenly.

After 5 minutes, sprinkle the potatoes evenly with grated mozzarella cheese and sprinkle with salt. Without waiting for the cheese to melt, add the pepperoni slices and spread with the marinera sauce.

As soon as the bottom crust turns golden brown, the pizza is ready. Also, for taste, you can add 5-6 pieces of fresh basil 2-3 minutes before you remove the pizzas from the heat.

How to properly cook pizza at home

Italian classic pizza is cooked over wood in a special oven in which the temperature reaches 400 °C. Agree, it is difficult to repeat such a technological process in modern apartments. But you can make classic thin pizza dough. To make it, you need a special type of flour. It is extracted from the inner part of the grain. Its feature is its low gluten content. Such a bag of flour is marked with two zeros.

Ingredients:

Salt.
Fresh yeast - fifteen grams (only fresh, not dry).
High quality water - one hundred grams.
Flour - Two hundred and fifty grams.

Preparation:
First, let's prepare the dough. Dissolve the yeast in a small amount of water. Add a little water, 50 grams of flour and mix. You will get a liquid substance that should be left for 20 minutes. Pour the flour onto the table and mix it with salt. Make a hole in the middle and pour the dough into it. Knead the dough vigorously, adding flour little by little.

The dough should come out moist, soft and elastic. We form 2 koloboks from it and let them brew until the volume doubles (it will take approximately 2 hours). And one more piece of advice. You cannot form a disc using a bottle or rolling pin. It should be tossed and stretched. This is difficult to do without experience, but there is no other choice. The Italians do this so that the dough is well baked and filled with air.

How to cook pizza in the oven

To make pizza in the oven you need to use yeast dough. Proofing should take 40-60 minutes. In addition, before you put the dough in the mold, you need it to fall 2 times. There are 2 methods of cooking pizza in the oven - on a baking sheet or in a frying pan. A thin frying pan is not suitable for the oven. The bottom should be at least two millimeters thick. And the baking sheet should be greased with vegetable oil.

You don't have to roll out the pizza crust, just smooth it over the entire surface with your hands so that the edges hang down a little. Let it sit for about 7 minutes before baking. If you decide to bake pizza in a frying pan, then sprinkle the bottom with semolina and grease with vegetable oil so that the cooked pizza can be easily removed. Place the dough in a frying pan and leave for 10-15 minutes, and only then put it in the oven.

Pizza in the oven is usually baked in 2 stages. First, put the dough and bake until half cooked (thin crust on top, but raw inside). Remove from the oven, add the filling and bake again until done. The average baking time depends on the ingredients of the product and the type of oven, and takes 30-50 minutes.

How to cook pizza quickly

To make everything quickly, take a pizza recipe with thinly rolled dough. Buy ready-made dough.

Ingredients:

Sauce.
Salt.
Unrefined olive oil.
Greenery.
Champignons - three hundred grams.
Hard cheese - three hundred grams.
Boiled pork - three hundred grams.
Semi-smoked or smoked sausage – three hundred grams.
Fat mayonnaise or fat sour cream - one hundred grams.
Thin pizza bases.

Preparation:
Cut the mushrooms into small slices and fry until tender. Cut the boiled meat and sausage into strips. Cut the onion into half rings. Pour the sauce over the prepared base - circles and tesko. Pour sour cream or mayonnaise over the base so that the places where there is no sauce are filled. It turns out that the base on which the filling rests is greased with either sour cream (mayonnaise) or sauce.

Place sausage and meat on the base in a checkerboard pattern. Sprinkle a thin layer of mushrooms and herbs on top. Add salt to taste. Cut the cheese into small strips and sprinkle it all over the pizza. Place all this in the microwave for 5 minutes at 75% power. Garnish the prepared pizza with chopped herbs.

How to cook pizza in the microwave

Making pizza in the microwave is even easier than in the oven, and it takes much less time to cook. The dough bakes much worse in the oven than in the microwave. Another plus is that the pizza ingredients do not burn when cooked in the microwave. The dough turns out tender and fluffy. For this cooking method, the dough needs to be made a little liquid, with a small amount of yeast. Before baking, you should put a glass of water in the oven and warm it up a little.

Ingredients for the dough:

Salt - to taste.
Sugar - a tablespoon.
Water - half a glass.
Margarine – one hundred grams.
Flour - one and a half cups.

Filling ingredients:

Hard cheese - two hundred grams.
Ground red pepper.
Ground black pepper.
Tomato sauce.

Preparation:
Grate the margarine on a fine grater. Then grind it with flour by hand. Pour salt, prepared flour mixture and sugar into a bowl of cool water. Knead the dough. Then place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. After this, divide into two parts and roll out. Place both parts together again, knead for a couple of minutes, divide into two parts and roll out again. This procedure is repeated a couple of times. Finally, roll out the cake to the required thickness.

Once the dough is ready, bake it for 4-8 minutes in the microwave at 800 W. Mix black and red peppers with tomato sauce. Pour this mixture over the pizza and sprinkle grated cheese on top. Place it in the oven again and bake for 1-1.5 minutes at 800 W.

This recipe is good because it is prepared quickly, since there is no need to knead the dough. You buy it.

Ingredients:

Greenery.
Hard cheese.
Semi-smoked or smoked sausage.
Ketchup.
Fresh garlic - three to four cloves.
Lokuvits – 5 pieces.
Frozen puff pastry.

Preparation:
Either yeast or non-yeast puff pastry is suitable. Separate the layers from each other and defrost them. It is best to do this at room temperature.

Peel and finely chop the onion. Do the same with garlic. Then take a frying pan, put it on the fire, pour a little salt on the bottom (so that the oil does not splatter), pour in vegetable oil and fry until golden brown. Cool and add the required amount of ketchup. Stir. This mass will serve as a layer between the filling and the cake. It is also needed to pour on top of the pizza.

Prepare the filling. The easiest method is to place the sliced sausage on the baked crust and sprinkle grated cheese on top. However, if you use your imagination, there will be a lot of options! You can look in the refrigerator and take all the food from it.

Well, in the end the main secret! Roll out the dough in one direction only!
Brush all cake layers with onion and ketchup mixture. Spread the filling evenly onto each layer and sprinkle grated cheese on top.

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the pizza in it. Wait another 2-3 minutes from the moment the cheese starts to melt and the pizza is ready!

Scientists say that baker's yeast is very harmful to humans. They do not die during heat treatment, and in the intestines they can suppress beneficial microflora responsible for immunity. So let's make pizza without yeast. And to make it even more healthy, add rye flour.

Ingredients for the dough:

A pinch of salt.
Water - a glass.
Rye flour - one and a half cups.
Whole wheat flour - one and a half cups.

To make a soft dough, add a little soda and replace the water with kefir

Ingredients for filling:

Non-rennet cheese - three hundred grams.
Bulgarian sweet pepper - one or two pieces.
Olives without bones - three hundred grams.
Onion – small head.
Tomatoes – three or four things.

Preparation:
Mix salt, wheat and rye flour. To make a soft dough, put a pinch of soda in the kefir and let it brew for about 5 minutes. At this time, air bubbles will begin to appear in the kefir, which will give softness to our dough. Pour water or kefir into the flour mixture. Knead the dough until it sticks to your hands. Make a bun out of the dough, then roll it into a thin layer. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.

Chop the onions, bell peppers, olives and tomatoes. Mix olives and onions, add spices and salt. Once the crust is baked, add the tomatoes, a mixture of olives and onions, top with bell peppers and sprinkle with grated cheese. Bake for 10 minutes in the oven.

In this pizza cooking method, you first need to heat the pan to the desired temperature. Then pour in vegetable oil and heat it up. Place the dough and fry on both sides. If you cook with a lid, this process will take less time. In this case, generously grease the frying pan with oil, add the dough and filling and cook over low heat.

The dough cooks quickly. The filling is prepared in advance. It should be thick so that there is no spreading. A good option would be one in which dried vegetables, fish or meat are on the bottom, and raw or soft foods can be on top.

Homemade pizza dough recipe without yeast

There is a misconception that only the toppings affect the final taste of pizza. Putting the same ingredients on a pizza with a different dough will result in completely different dishes. It is this flavor accent that can be added to the dough, which will certainly affect the final result.

The easiest pizza dough is yeast-free dough. This cooking option is used by chefs from the homeland of pizza – Italy. This type of dough takes much less time to bake than yeast dough, and the flatbread acquires a light, crispy texture.

Recipes for thin dough for homemade pizza

The recipe for “your” most delicious pizza dough can only be determined by trying many of its varieties.

Pizza dough with milk

Components:

1 tbsp wheat flour
1 egg
1/4 cup warm milk
1 tbsp sunflower oil
0.5 tsp salt.

Preparation:

Combine salt and flour.
In a separate container, smooth out the eggs, milk and butter.
Then gradually pour the liquid egg mixture into the flour, stirring continuously.
When the dough reaches a sticky consistency, start kneading it, adding flour if necessary.
The dough should become smooth, place it in a bowl and cover with a clean cloth for about ten minutes.
Roll out the dough thin using a rolling pin. To do this, sprinkle the table with flour in advance.

Pizza dough using olive oil

Ingredients:

1 tbsp wheat flour
1/4 cup warm water
2 tbsp olive oil
0.5 tbsp baking powder or regular soda
0.5 tsp salt.

Preparation:

Sift the flour through a sieve and combine with all the dry ingredients.
Gradually add water, and then olive oil.
Knead the dough until elastic. This will take about ten minutes.
Form the dough into a ball and then roll it out to the desired size.

There are a huge number of yeast-free dough options. This can be the most delicate dough, kneaded with sour cream or with the addition of cottage cheese. You can add airiness to the dough by adding fermented milk products, beer, or mineral water.

Pizza dough like in a pizzeria

In a pizzeria, pizza dough is crispy and thinly rolled out, but at home, on the contrary, it is often fluffy. But what if you want to make pizza at home, like in a pizzeria? Today's ovens are in no way inferior to the professional units that food industry establishments are equipped with. Therefore, it comes down to the most important thing - the test.

So, the main points for preparing thin dough:

Proper rolling out plays an important role in preparing thin dough. The basis for the dough is yeast, and its components can vary depending on the availability of such in the housewife’s kitchen arsenal.

To get classic pizza, stock up on:

slightly warmed water – 200 ml
dry yeast – 1.5 tsp
granulated sugar – 1.5 tsp
salt – 0.5 tsp
flour - 300 gr
vegetable oil 2 tbsp

Make a dough. To do this, in a separate container, mix yeast, sugar, salt and dissolve a tablespoon of flour in warm water.
Cover the dough with a clean towel and leave to rise for 20-30 minutes. The fermentation process will begin, and the emulsion of the ingredients will become foam. This will be the signal to start kneading.
In a separate bowl, add all the remaining ingredients to the dough and knead the dough. The main thing is not to “fill” the dough with flour too much; it should turn out elastic, but not tight, and not stick to your hands.
The number of ingredients in the recipe is calculated for two thin pizzas. The most important moment has come - roll out the thin dough. Divide it into two parts and roll it out using a rolling pin.

In the homeland of pizza - Italy, the dough for its base is not rolled out with a rolling pin, it is formed with finger bones, and rolled many times on the palms. This makes it thin in the middle and thicker at the edges.

When the final thickness of the dough suits you, brush its surface with sauce and start making the filling.

How to make homemade pizza?

Choosing pizza toppings is very easy, because there are a huge number of varieties. This can be meat, seafood, mushrooms, as well as vegetables for vegetarian pizza. You can safely experiment in this matter, because no matter what combination of ingredients you choose, it is quite difficult to spoil the pizza. This dish will turn out delicious even for housewives with little culinary experience. Here is one of the many options for this delicious delicacy.
