Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams 00 flour
- 50 grams rice flour
- 50 grams whole wheat flour
- 2 grams dry active yeast
- 230 ml warm water
- 5 ml extra virgin olive oil
- 5 grams salt
- 100 ml tomato passata
- 70 grams low-fat mozzarella
- 5 pieces fresh basil leaves
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 00 flour, rice flour, whole wheat flour, and dry active yeast.
Gradually pour in warm water, mixing with a wooden spoon or your hands until a sticky dough forms.
Add salt and extra virgin olive oil, kneading gently to incorporate. Do not over-knead; the dough should remain light and slightly wet.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rest at room temperature for 12-24 hours for a slow fermentation. This step develops the traditional pinsa texture.
Once the dough has rested, preheat your oven to 250°C (480°F) and place a baking stone or baking sheet inside to heat.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and gently stretch it into an oval shape, approximately 1 cm thick. Use your hands to avoid compressing the dough and losing air pockets.
Place the stretched dough onto parchment paper for easy handling.
Spread tomato passata evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Add torn pieces of low-fat mozzarella on top.
Carefully transfer the parchment paper onto the preheated baking stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy, and the cheese has melted.
Remove the pinsa from the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve immediately.
