THE PERFECT ITALIAN PIZZA
SAUCE
To be able to make the perfect pizza, you also have to make the perfect sauce. This is not hard, but it is a bit time consuming but it will in return give you a good base for the perfect pizza. Keywords for the sauce is time.
Ingredients (2 large pizzas)
400 grams canned tomatoes. I use Mutti, but any brand without pure will do just fine.
1 onion (1 onion per can of tomatoes)
1 clove of garlic
1 tsp vinegar
1 tsp sugar
1 tbsp tomato purè
salt, pepper, basil, oregano, extra virgin olive oil
Method
Fine chop the onions and garlic.
Find a thick bottomed (preferrably iron cast) sauce pan and cover the bottom with extra virgin olive oil and turn the stove to a medium+ heat.
Throw the vegetables in and sizzle them on a medium heat for about 5-10 minutes until they are translucent.
Add the tomatoes and tomato purè, season with salt&pepper and mix it well together. Bring to a boil and turn the stove down to a low heat and add a lid. th Let it simmer while mixing every 5-10 minutes for 1-10 hours depending on personal preference. Add water if it gets too dry.
Add your fresh herbs.
Oregano is a must, but i also add some basil. about 2/3 oregano and 1/3 basil. Let it boil for another 10-15 minutes
When its finished, use a handblender to make it smooth.
THE DOUGH (2 bottoms)
Ingredients
800 ml of tipo 00 flour
300ml of water
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/4 - 1/2 tsp salt
15 grams of dry yeast
Method
Combine flour, salt and dry yeast and mix it together in a bowl. Add 300 ml of tempered water, mixed with the olive oil into the bowl while mixing. When the dough gets unmanageable, just throw it on the kitchen bench and work it with your hands or throw mix it in a machine at low-medium speed.
knead the dough for atleast 15 minutes by hand and 5-7 minutes in a machine until the dough is real smooth. Handkneading makes the best results.
Let the dough raise for atleast 30 minutes in room temperature, but not more than an hour.
For the ultimate crispy result, let it raise overnight in the refridgerator.
Make the pizzas as flat as you want with a rolling pin.
Now add your favourite topping! Bon Apetit!

hej, I agree with all, especially the preparing of tomato souce, but I think that one of the core ingredients stil remains the cheese and absolutely should be a chopped mozzarella and not other cheese, but thanks for sharing
I agree completely, that is why i didnt include any ingredients at all except for the sauce and dough :) Thanks for viewing :)
