Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 5 g fresh yeast (or 1 packet of instant yeast)
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 lb tomatoes
- 1.1 lbs mozzarella
Steps
The recipe can be prepared with either fresh yeast or instant yeast if you’re short on time.
You can halve the fresh yeast and extend the rising time.
Dissolve the yeast in the water, add the flour a little at a time and mix, add the salt to make a dough, form a ball and let it rest until doubled, about 2-3 hours.
With instant yeast, let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
Once risen, take the dough and divide it into 4 or 6 equal pieces.
Form small pizza shapes and close at the two opposite sides to form the boats.
To preserve the shape, place them on a tray lined with lightly oiled paper and place them close together, separating them with a sheet of parchment paper or making folds in the tray paper, SEE HERE.
Oil and bake in a hot oven at 450°F for 10-15 minutes.
Cut the tomatoes into small pieces and the mozzarella, season with oil, oregano, basil, and salt, and fill the boats.
Bon appétit
