What you need:

Odlums 00 Flour Pizza Base

400g Odlums Strong 00 Flour

7g dried fast-action yeast

1 tsp castor sugar

1 tsp Maldron sea salt

2 tbsp olive oil

225-240mls water

1 tbsp cornmeal/polenta

 

Sauce

200mls Roma Passata

1 tsp dried oregano

1.5 tsp dried garlic powder

1 tsp brown sugar

 

Toppings

120g Grated Mozzarella

200g Fresh ball mozzerella

150g Parma ham / Proscuitto /Salami

4 tsp olive oil

Fresh basil leaves

How to:

  • Preparation:Preheat the oven to as hot as it will go, around 220℃ fan, 240℃, Gas 9. Put your pizza stones in to get hot or some flat oven trays. Ideally, turn on your pizza oven to 270 - 300℃ for best results 

 

  • Pizza Dough: Weigh & measure the Odlums 00 strong flour into the mixing bowl. Sprinkle in the salt, sugar and dried yeast. If using an electric mixer, fit it with a dough hook and turn on a low speed to combine.
  • Drizzle in the tepid 225mls of water and the olive oil. Allow to combine on low speed, then turn up to high speed and knead well for 1 or 2 minutes until smooth. Sprinkle the oven pizza tray with polenta ( also known as cornmeal or semolina ) or brush with some oil to stop it sticking.
  • Turn out the dough, cut into 4 even-sized pieces. Roll out into rectangle flatbreads about 12cm x 25cm.
  • Slice them onto the pizza oven paddle, hot pizza stone or hot oven trays.

 

  • Pizza Sauce: When the flatbreads are rolled out, spoon on 2 tbsp passata, a sprinkle (about ¼ tsp oregano, sugar & garlic powder ).

 

  • Toppings: sprinkle on a small handful of grated mozzarella, tear on some fresh mozzarella and a little salami /prosciutto. (Optional: A tiny grating of parmesan cheese and it is ready for the oven).
  • Bake until crisp, golden & cooked. This can take about 12-15 mins in an oven or 3-5 minutes in a pizza oven.
  • When cooked, dot on a few small basil leaves. Cut using a pizza cutter and enjoy.

 

Note: the secret to this thin-crust pizza is to go light on the toppings. A sprinkling of toppings. Keep the toppings light and it will cook quickly and be delicious.
