3-Minute Pizza Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: pizza dough, semolina flour, olive oil, flaky sea salt, tomato sauce, freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese, fresh parsley leaves, garlic chip

Provided by Matt Ciampa

Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Yield 4 pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb pizza dough, left at room temperature for 1 hr
semolina flour, for dusting
olive oil, to taste
flaky sea salt, to taste
1 can tomato sauce
1 cup freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
¼ cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped
garlic chip, optional

Steps:

  • Set a wire rack over a baking sheet.
  • Dust a clean surface with semolina flour. Dust the pizza dough with more flour and divide into 4 portions. Roll out each portion of dough, rotating frequently, to a thin round, dusting with more semolina to prevent sticking. Use a fork to poke holes all over the pizza crusts.
  • Gently heat about ¼ inch (½ cm) of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil begins to shimmer, add 1 pizza dough to the pan. Cook for 2 minutes, until golden brown, then flip and cook on the other side for 2 minutes more. Use a fork to puncture any air pockets that rise as the dough cooks. Transfer the cooked pizza crust to the wire rack to cool and sprinkle with flaky salt. Repeat with the remaining dough, adding more olive oil as needed.
  • Top the crust with the tomato sauce, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, parsley, and garlic chips, if using.
  • Slice and serve.
  • Enjoy!

TODDLER RECIPE: HOMEMADE PIZZA WITH VEGGIE FACES



Toddler recipe: homemade pizza with veggie faces image

Here's a toddler recipe to keep little bellies full and hands busy. They can decorate these pizzas themselves and pack in four of their five-a-day

Provided by Caroline Hire - Food writer

Categories     Breads

Time 40m

Yield Makes 4 pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 15

150g wholemeal spelt flour
350g strong white flour
1 ½ tsp dried fast action yeast
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil
1 can chopped tomatoes
1 small garlic clove
pinch of dried thyme
160g grated cheddar and mozzarella cheese
1 red pepper , cut into strips
1 yellow pepper , cut into strips
1 courgette , cut into rounds or spiralized
1 small pack cherry tomatoes , halved
handful pitted olives
1 can salt-free sweetcorn , drained

Steps:

  • To make the dough, put both flours into a large bowl, then stir in the yeast and salt. Make a well, pour in 400ml warm water and the olive oil and mix with a wooden spoon until you have a soft, fairly wet dough. Bring together with a light knead in the bowl then turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 mins until smooth. Cover with a tea towel and set aside. Leave the dough to rise if you have time but it's not essential for a thin crust.
  • To make the sauce, blitz the tomatoes, garlic and thyme and a little seasoning, either in a food processor or using a hand blender.
  • Heat oven to 240C/fan 220C/gas 8. Get the toppings ready in bowls so that your children can decorate their own.
  • If the dough has had time to rise, give it a little knead in the bowl, then split into four balls. On a floured surface, roll out two of the balls into wide circles using a rolling pin. The dough needs to be very thin as it will rise in the oven. Lift these onto two floured baking sheets or pizza trays.
  • Smooth sauce over bases with a spoon. Scatter with cheese, then start making the faces. Courgette rounds make great eyes or cheeks, halved courgette rounds can be used for ears and spiralised courgette for hair. Strips of pepper are good for eyebrows and mouths while olives and halved cherry tomatoes make great eyes or earrings. Sweetcorn can be used for teeth or freckles. Let their imagination go wild.
  • Cook for around 10-15 mins until crisp. You'll want to swap the pizzas to a lower shelf halfway through the cooking time.
  • Repeat for the second two pizzas or freeze the balls of dough in two separate freezer bags, plus any remaining sauce in a sealed container.
