- Difficulty: Very easy
- Cost: Very inexpensive
- Rest time: 3 Hours
- Preparation time: 20 Minutes
- Portions: 9 Pieces
- Cooking methods: Oven, Air Fryer
- Cuisine: Italian
- Seasonality: Summer, All seasons
Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups water
- 1 tsp fresh yeast
- tomato sauce
- 12 mozzarella
- 1/2 tbsp salt
Steps
Dissolve the yeast in the water, pour the flour into a bowl or mixer, gradually add the water, and mix.
Once all the water is added, incorporate the salt and knead. No vigorous kneading is needed, just work it a bit to get a smooth dough.
Make a ball and let it rest in a bowl covered with plastic wrap until it doubles, about 3 hours in this heat.
After the resting time, take the dough, deflate it, and roll it out on a greased surface, form a rectangle about half an inch thick, and cut it with a cookie cutter, a glass, or a milk mug.
Place them on a baking sheet lined with greased parchment paper and top with tomato sauce and oil, bake in the hot oven at 430°F for about 15 minutes.
Then remove from the oven, add the mozzarella or provolone pieces, a drizzle of oil, oregano if you like, and bake for another 5-6 minutes.
Alternatively, you can use the air fryer at 360°F for about 8 minutes.
Bon appétit
