Professoressa di Pizza

I am Elena's Professoressa di English and she is my Professoressa di Pizza. She and William had me over for a great evening of pizza making, looking at wedding pics (Elena is very intersted in the US customs!), and learning about harvesting the grapes.

For 3 people:

50 grams yeast / 1/2 tsp sugar

600 grams flour / 3/4 tsp salt

tomato sause, oregano, salt, olive oil

mozerella and other toppings of choice

1. Crumble the yeast into small pieces, add sugar, and mix with hot water

2. Add flour and salt. You add the flour until it is not sticky, if too sticky add flour; if too floury, add water

3. Make into a ball, cut a cross in the top with a knike (pretty deep to let it get air). Put in oven on low heat, covered in towel for at least 2hr

4. Knead (important to get lots of air in the dough)

5. Either push with your hands into a pan to make the crust, or use a rolling pin. Poke with a fork in several places.

6. Make sauce by adding spices and olive oil. Add to pizza, make sure you put sause all the way to the edges.

7. Cook in over at 250 (celcius) for 20-22 min. Dice mozzerella into very small pieces. Add to pizza and cook for 8 more min.

8. Enjoy!
