Simple, fresh, and delicious—let's make pizza, gratsi style. Ready, set, bake!
Process for the dough:
1) Mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Add water and oil. Stir to form a dough.
2) Knead briefly on a floured surface until smooth.
3) Rest 10 minutes, covered.
4 )Shape into desired size. Roll out for pizza base.
Process for the pizza:
1) Tomatoes: Season cherry tomatoes with salt, pepper, and dried oregano. Set aside.
2) Assembly: Stretch the pizza dough to form a base. Spread a thin layer of garlic sauce over the dough. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese. Distribute seasoned cherry tomatoes evenly.
3) Baking: Preheat your oven to its highest setting, ideally 250°C (480°F) or more, with a pizza stone or inverted baking tray inside. Slide the pizza onto the preheated surface and bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbling.
4) Finishing Touches: Once baked, top the pizza with fresh arugula. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic glaze.
Process for the garlic sauce:
Mix crushed garlic with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Set aside for at least 30 minutes to infuse the flavors.
Tips:
1) Use a pizza stone or baking tray for best results.
2) Allow dough to come to room temperature before stretching.
3) Substitute ingredients based on availability.
