Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 360 ml Warm water
- 10 g Active dry yeast
- 5 g Sugar
- 500 g Bread flour
- 10 g Salt
- 60 ml Olive oil
- 400 g Canned crushed tomatoes
- 5 g Dried oregano
- 2 Crushed garlic cloves
- 1 Red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 Red bell pepper, sliced
- 100 g Black olives, sliced
- 10 g Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Add the bread flour, salt, and 30 ml of olive oil to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough starts to form.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Lightly oil a large bowl with olive oil and place the dough inside, covering it with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm area for about 1 to 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F).
Grease a baking sheet or a Sicilian pizza pan with 15 ml of olive oil.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release air. Place the dough into the prepared baking sheet, stretching it to fit the pan evenly.
For the sauce, in a small saucepan, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the crushed garlic cloves and sauté until fragrant.
Add the canned crushed tomatoes and dried oregano to the saucepan. Season with salt to taste and simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the stretched dough.
Arrange the red onion slices, red bell pepper slices, and black olives on top of the sauce.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden and the vegetables are tender.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before garnishing with fresh basil leaves.
Slice and serve the dairy-free Sicilian pizza warm.
