PIZZA CAPRICCIOSA ( TRADITIONAL ITALIAN PIZZA RECIPE ) RECIPE

Steps:

• 01 - Put the Hot Water in a pan. 02 - Add Yeast and stir gently and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the yeast activates by turning into a foam on top of the water. 03 - Now, add the Salt. 04 - Gradually add in the Flour as you stir the mixture simultaneously. You know you have added enough Flour when the mixture becomes too thick to stir. 05 - Knead the dough. 06 - Take the Dough out of the bowl and put it on a clean and well-floured surface ( a marble counter or clean table is best ). 07 - Gather the Dough into a pile and begin pressing it together. Press the heels of your hands firmly into the Dough, pushing forward slightly. 08 - Fold the far edge of the Dough upwards, towards you, and press it into the middle of the ball. Rotate it slightly, too. Repeat this press-fold-turn sequence for the duration of the kneading process. 09 - Let the Dough rise up for 1 hour at room temperature or 5 hours in the refrigerator. 10 - Place on a floured counter and flour the top of the Dough. 11 - Cut the Dough into two round Balls. 12 - Flatten one Ball with your hand until about 2cm - 4cm / 0.7in - 1.5in thick.

Steps:

• Knead flour and water until you get a soft dough, then knead in first the yeast, and then the salt and the olive oil.
• Let the dough rest for 10 minutes, then turn it over on a table and knead it for a few minutes.
• Place the dough in an oiled bowl which you then need to close with a lid or cover with a plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 24 hours.
• The following day, on a floured surface, stretch the dough to the desired shape, taking care that you leave a raised 2 cm (0.8-inch) rim on the outer edge of the dough.
• Then, spread the tomato sauce over the dough, and bake it in a 250°C/480°F oven for 10 minutes.
• Take the pizza from the oven and top it with chopped mozzarella, ham, mushrooms, and artichokes, then bake for another 10 minutes.
• Before serving, drizzle the pizza with olive oil.
