Rezultat -8 servings
Ingrediente
- 500 g durum wheat flour
- 250 g white bread flour
- 525 g water
- 15 g fresh yeast
- 12 g salt
- 80 g olive oil
- Basil pesto or any other topping you like
- Fresh herbs if you like
- Cherry tomatoes or red pesto
Instructiuni
- Combine the water and yeast in a bowl, then add the flours and salt. Knead the dough for 5 minutes then transfer the dough in a bowl greased with a bit of olive oil.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and leave aside for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, stretch and fold the dough onto itself. This helps the dough develop gluten properly. If you have time, you can do the stretch and fold 1 or 2 more times.
- Cover the bowl again and let it rise for 1 hour.
- Transfer the proofed dough on a tray lined with baking paper and greased with olive oil.
- Gently pull and stretch the dough until it has the thickness you want. I think 1-1.5cm is enough as it will rise once more.
- Allow the dough to rest for 30 more minutes.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the dough.Using the tip of your fingers, make a few indentations in the dough. The purpose is to contain the toppings in these indentations.
- Drizzle with the pesto and olive oil or any other topping you want. Just don't forget the olive oil as this will keep the dough soft and fragrant.
- Bake in the preheated oven at 200C for 20-25 minutes, depending on the thickness of the dough.
