Ages ago I published my standard recipe for a delicious and easy pizza crust. Admittedly, that recipe does take a bit of time, so what if you wanna have a pizza right away? Fear not, I have a solution for you and you’ll have a pizza in the oven in no time.

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 1 large pizza / 3.43 EUR)

For the dough:

1 and ½ cup all-purpose flour (0.10 EUR)

½ tsp active dry yeast (0.07 EUR)

2 tsp sugar (0.01 EUR)

½ tsp salt

2 tbsp olive oil (0.09 EUR)

½ cup warm water (–)

For the pizza:

1/3 cup tomato sauce (0.13 EUR)

1 tsp dried oregano (0.07 EUR)

1 ball of mozzarella cheese (1.00 EUR)

3 garlic cloves (0.10 EUR)

10-12 pitted olives (0.27 EUR)

1-2 tbsp olive oil (0.09 EUR)

Good pinch of freshly ground black pepper (0.02 EUR)

4 thin prosciutto slices (0.80 EUR)

Large handful of fresh baby spinach (0.67 EUR)

Additional:

Flour for dusting (0.01 EUR)

METHOD:

Make the dough by whisking together flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Add in the olive oil and water, then stir to combine. Once the dough comes together, knead for about 2-3 minutes and shape into a ball. Place the dough into a bowl, cover with cling foil and keep warm for 20-30 minutes, until doubled in size.

While you’re waiting for the dough to rise, prep your other ingredients. Cut the mozzarella into slices, peel and mince the garlic and cut the olives into thin coins. Tear the prosciutto into bite-sized pieces. Wash the spinach and set to drain.

Preheat the oven to 220°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Roll the dough out thinly on a well floured clean surface, then transfer to a prepared baking tray. Top the dough with tomato sauce, then sprinkle with oregano. Scatter mozzarella, garlic and olives on top, then drizzle with olive oil and season with black pepper. Bake the pizza for 13-15 minutes, until crispy and slightly charred.

Remove the pizza from the oven and cut into segments. Scatter prosciutto pieces and spinach on top, then drizzle with more olive oil and crack more black pepper on top. Serve immediately.

Pred dosta vremena objavila sam svoj klasični recept za fino i jednostavno tijesto za pizzu. Međutim, za taj recept ipak treba malo više vremena, pošto tijesto treba fermentirati, a što onda učiniti ako vam se baš sada odmah jede pizza? Ne brigajte, imam za vas rješenje i pizza će biti u pećnici za čas.

SASTOJCI:

(Za 1 veliku pizzu / 25,63 kn)

Za tijesto:

1 i ½ šalica glatkog brašna (0,75 kn)

½ žličice suhog kvasca (0,50 kn)

2 žličice šećera (0,04 kn)

½ žličice soli (0,01 kn)

2 žlice maslinovog ulja (0,66 kn)

½ šalice tople vode (–)

Za pizzu:

1/3 šalice pasirane rajčice (1,00 kn)

1 žličica sušenog origana (0,50 kn)

1 loptica mozzarelle (7,50 kn)

3 češnja češnjaka (0,75 kn)

10-12 maslina bez koštica (2,00 kn)

1-2 žlice maslinovog ulja (0,66 kn)

Dobar prstohvat svježe mljevenog crnog papra (0,15 kn)

4 tanke šnite pršuta (6,00 kn)

Veliki pregršt svježeg baby špinata (5,00 kn)

Dodatno:

Brašno za posipanje (0,10 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Prvo pripremite tijesto tako da u zdjeli pomiješate brašno, kvasac, šećer i sol. Dodajte maslinovo ulje i vodu, pa miješajte da se sve sjedini. Kada se tijesto počne formirati, mijesite ga dvije-tri minute i oblikujte u loptu. Stavite tijesto u čistu posudu, pokrijte prijanjajućom folijom i držite na toplom 20-30 minuta, dok se volumen ne udvostruči.

Dok čekate da se tijesto digne priredite ostale sastojke. Mozzarellu narežite na šnite, ogulite i fino nasjeckajte češnjak, a masline narežite na tanke novčiće. Pršut natrgajte na komadiće veličine zalogaja. Operite špinat i stavite da se ocijedi.

Pećnicu zagrijte na 220°C i obložite protvan papirom za pečenje. Tijesto tanko razvaljajte na dobro pobrašnjenoj radnoj plohi te ga preselite na pripremljeni protvan. Tijesto pokrijte rajčicom te po njoj posipajte origano. Raštrkajte mozzarellu, češnjak i masline, pa sve pokapajte maslinovim uljem i začinite paprom. Pecite pizzu 13-15 minuta, dok ne bude hrskava i lijepo zapečena.

Pizzu izvadite iz pećnice i narežite na šnite. Komadiće pršuta i špinat rasporedite po pizzi, pa pokapajte sa još malo maslinovog ulja i dodajte još papra. Odmah poslužite.
