With just four ingredients, you can make an almost authentic Italian pizza dough that can be topped as desired and baked until crispy.
Preparing a traditional Italian pizza dough is actually not particularly complicated. When baked correctly, the pizza tastes like it came from an Italian restaurant, even without a pizza stone or wood-fired oven. In addition, easily digestible sourdough can be wonderfully shaped into round flatbreads, spread with fruity tomato sauce and topped as desired. The good digestibility also plays a crucial role in the Pinsa, or Pinsa Romana.
Pizza, pasta and polenta: classics of Italian cuisine
If you don't feel like spending a long time cooking in the kitchen after a hard day at work, a handful of cherry tomatoes and a ball of mozzarella can be quickly sliced and dressed. This unusual tomato mince offers a refreshing new interpretation of the Italian starter. Served with some warm ciabatta or homemade focaccia, the balsamic dressing is wonderful to dunk from the plate.
Whether for pizza, pasta or lasagne – you can make a homemade tomato sauce like the Italians do with just a few ingredients. This can also be used to make fresh gnocchi in a creamy tomato and mozzarella sauce. Have you ever cooked spaghetti al dente in tomato sauce instead of in salted water? If not, you should definitely try it, because many pasta lovers would probably walk over dead bodies for these crispy fried killer spaghetti.
Tip: If you spontaneously long for a golden brown, crispy pizza and don't want to wait forever for the yeast dough to rise, you can bake what is probably the quickest pizza dough of all time using only four ingredients.
