Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 500° Fahrenheit approximately two hours before cooking the pizza.
Pizza Dough
- In a food processor, blitz together flour, yeast, salt, and olive oil until a crumb like texture is formed
- Slowly add water and blitz until the ingredients come together as a sticky dough. Knead and shape into a ball
- Place the dough ball in a bowl lined with oil. Cover the top with plastic and set in a warm area until the dough has doubled in size (approximately one to two hours)
- Divide dough in half and let rest for 20 minutes.
Sauce
- Mix together crushed tomatoes, sugar, chili powder, and salt
Smoked Salmon Pizza
- Dust the pizza peel with semolina or flour. Take one ball of dough and shape it into the desired circle on a pizza peel
- Spread out a thin layer of the sauce, sprinkle the cheese to adequately cover the pizza’s surface
- Cover the pizza with salmon, red onions, and olives as desired
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until cheese is bubbly
Brussels Sprout Pizza
- In a shallow pan, heat up olive oil. Cook halved Brussel sprouts and diced onion until soft
- Dust the pizza peel with semolina or flour. Take one ball of dough and shape it into the desired circle on a pizza peel
- Spread out a thin layer of the sauce, sprinkle the cheese to adequately cover the pizza’s surface
- Cover the pizza with brussels sprouts as desired
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until cheese is bubbly
Notes
Transferring the dough from the pizza peel into the oven can be a major challenge! Don’t be upset if it gets a little messy. While making the pizza, check to make sure the dough has not stuck to the pizza peel.
