Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.35 cups water
- 2 tsp salt
- 1.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Tools
- Pastry Board
- Stand Mixer
Steps
In a bowl, mix the flour with the salt, then add the water and the extra virgin olive oil. Knead until you get a smooth and homogeneous dough. If it is too sticky, add a little flour; if too dry, a splash of water.
Let the dough rest for 10 minutes covered, then divide it into 9 pieces (about 3 oz each) and roll them out with a rolling pin on a floured surface, forming long, thin strips about 1/8 inches thick.
Place the pizza strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and greased with oil. Add a few tablespoons of tomato sauce on top, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, and sprinkle with oregano.
Bake in a preheated static oven on the bottom rack at 482°F for about 15/17 minutes, until the edges are golden and crispy.
No yeast, no waiting, and ready in a flash: these crispy pizza strips will become your favorite dinner saver!
Tips
• For a richer version, add mozzarella, olives, or anchovies halfway through the baking.
• If you want a more rustic effect, replace half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
