He gained the trust of an elderly Italian restaurant manager and found out why the pizza in the restaurant is so juicy.

The national Italian dish is famous all over the world. Pizza is made in its own way everywhere. Recipes filling and preparation of the test so much that you can not count. But only if you've ever tried pizza in Italy, you'll never pour mayonnaise on your home. Today we will tell you how to make homemade pizza in the oven according to the rules of Italian pizza.

Pizza at home and pizza at the pizza parlor are two different pizzas, even if the filling is very similar. And even if the dough is prepared according to the exact proportions secretly transferred thereby pizzaiolo from the pizzeria. There's something wrong with pizza. Of course, after all, Italian pizza must be cooked in the oven. But that's not all.



Cooking pizza is a special ritual that results in a dish with a weightless crust and juicy filling. You can’t just bake a sole called a pizza blank. It will be far from the original. Prepare to work with your hands, and no roller coaster. The masters of their craft make pizza with their own hands. They mix the soft dough and straighten it with their hands, forming sides for future pizza.



Proper pizza is prepared on the basis of flour from hard varieties of wheat with sourdough from natural yeast. Also, olive oil is added to the dough, which gives the crust an incredible taste. Dry yeast is not recommended, although at home we make many exceptions to the rules, so in extreme cases you can use fast yeast.

But you need to mix the dough only with your hands. No harvesters and rollers should be present here. Hands carefully stretch the dough, feel how it becomes soft and malleable. It is the rested dough that is best digested by the body, so the pizza dough should stand for 8 hours. Then the workpiece is kneaded with hands and made of it a flatbread with sides. As a result, the pizza should be 3-4 cm thick in the middle with a diameter of 30 cm.



Stuffing is the part you can experiment with. The constant ingredients in classic Italian pizza are mozzarella and Italian herbs. Only cheese and tomato sauce can be added to pizza, and you can lay out mushrooms, ham and onions on a tomato basis. What Italians will never forgive is our Hawaiian pizza with canned pineapples.

Tomato sauce made of tomatoes in its own juice takes first place among sauces. Although there are other butter and pesto sauces, spinach sauce and garlic sauce. It is by sauce that you can determine the skill of pizzaolo. It is not clear where the tradition of mixing ketchup with mayonnaise came from. This homemade sauce spoils the taste of the dish and does not at all resemble a juicy tomato Italian sauce. At home, you can make a sauce of fresh tomatoes or from tomatoes in your own juice with the addition of seasonings and olive oil.



According to the rules, pizza is baked in a stone oven, where it acquires a crispy crust and a spicy taste of haze. If you want the pizza to be as tasty, you have to cook it in the oven in two stages. Warm the oven to 250 degrees and set the base for the pizza for 3-5 minutes. Then add the filling and bake the pizza for a few more minutes before ready.
