First pizza of the year


It has been raining and cold since coming back to France, only recently the sun started to shine again. Yesterday decided to enjoy the warm weather to use the outdoor wood fired oven to make some pizza in the evening.


I made the dough like making bread, but used cool water instead, added a teaspoon of baking powder, 20gm olive oil, 5 gm salt and 20 gm sugar. The dough is kneaded as usual and immediately kept in the fridge for at least 2 hours before use.



This way, I could make pizza any time when I wanted to, and when the oven is ready, because the addition of baking powder make sure that the dough will rise instantly in the heat, while the yeast adds flavor.



1. Pizza bianca with olive oil, salt, thyme and rosemary.

2. Pizza with basil leaves, sliced cherry tomato, sliced mushrooms, (seasoned with salt & olive oil), grated sheep cheese.

3. Pizza with sliced dry fig, pickled spicy chorizo (cut into thin slices and kept in vinegar and sugar), sliced mushrooms and grated sheep cheese.



The conclusion is that it is possible to make pizza without tomato paste and mozzarella cheese, can taste all the ingredients better.
