Roman Pizza

Ingredients:

  • 300 grams of Italian type "00" flour (preferably from Caputo)
  • 200 ml of water at room temperature
  • 5 grams of salt
  • 2 grams of instant yeast
  • Extra virgin olive oil

Instructions:

  1. Activate yeast:

    • Pour the water into a large bowl.
    • Add the yeast to the water and stir gently. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes until the yeast is completely dissolved and begins to foam.

  2. Mixing the ingredients:

    • Place the flour in a large bowl.
    • Add the salt to one side of the bowl.
    • Slowly pour the yeast-water mixture into the flour while stirring with a fork or your hands, until all the ingredients are combined and form a cohesive dough.

  3. Knead:

    • Sprinkle some flour on a clean work surface.
    • Place the dough on a work surface and begin kneading. Push the dough forward with the heel of your hand, fold it back toward you, and give it a quarter turn. Knead for 5-7 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.

  4. Rest:

    • Form the dough into a ball and place it back in the bowl.
    • Lightly sprinkle the dough with olive oil and turn it around to coat it completely.
    • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp tea towel and let the dough rest at room temperature for 4-6 hours. The dough will expand.

  5. Preparing the baking sheet:

    • Preheat your Nero-14 oven at least 15-20 minutes in advance. Check with the Nero Thermometer or your stone reaches the desired temperature of around 350 ° C has been reached.


  6. Pizza shapes:

    • Divide the dough into equal pieces of about 90 grams.
    • Roll each piece of dough into a thin circle, about 1/8 inch thick. Leave the edges slightly thicker for a crispier crust.

  7. Baking the pizza:

    • Remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and carefully place the rolled out pizza base on top.
    • Top the pizza with your favorite ingredients.
    • Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 3-5 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.

  8. Serve:

    • Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.
    • Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious crispy Roman pizza!
