Pizza "Tomato" with mushrooms and fresh tomatoes
Summer is a great opportunity not onlygo on vacation and enjoy your rest, but also accumulate vitamins that are so necessary in the cold season. Vegetables and fruits come to the rescue, so we suggest making pizza with juicy tomatoes and fresh mushrooms. It will not be difficult to do this, the main thing is to start! The set of products for the dough and the recipe for the pizza filling is designed for eight servings. Ingredients:
- a glass of fatty sour cream
- one large chicken egg
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cups of wheat (premium) flour
- Salt according to your taste preferences
Pizza toppings:
- mayonnaise delicacy - 4 tablespoons
- onions (take larger), 1 pc.
- 4 large spoons of tomato (sweet) sauce
- 2 pieces of pink tomatoes
- pitted olives - 50 grams
- 100 grams of fresh large mushrooms
- 50 grams of solid plain cheese
- Oregano, fresh basil or other condiments
Method of preparation:To make a delicious (like Italian) pizza, the main thing is to choose a simple recipe and make the dough well. To do this, beat the egg with a kitchen whisk or a regular fork, add salt (rock salt) and mix well, slowly and gradually pouring in the sour cream - combine with pre-sifted (premium grade) flour. In the end, the dough should be quite elastic and a little elastic. Sometimes the recipe calls for one amount, but in reality it turns out completely different, so you may need a little more flour than indicated in the recipe, take this fact into account. Knead the finished base well and let it rise a little in a warm place (40 minutes), and during this time you can prepare the filling. You can buy a special sauce for greasing the crust, but to make the pizza really tasty, it is better to make it yourself - cut the tomatoes into medium cubes, fresh mushrooms and large barrel olives into small rings, finely chop the onion, and grate the cheese into thin strips. In a separate deep bowl, mix the gourmet mayonnaise, basil and tomato sauce. When the dough has risen, sprinkle a small handful of flour on the surface where you plan to work and roll it into a thin circle, then grease it with tomato-mayonnaise dressing and put the filling on top. To prevent the base from sticking to the baking sheet, rub it with vegetable oil or use special paper. The product does not take long to bake - 20 minutes. Your mushroom pizza will not burn at a temperature of 180 degrees, but if you heat the oven higher, the likelihood of enjoying the "charcoal" in the Italian pizza increases significantly. We hope that you will be able to master this recipe, and cooking the dish will bring pleasure!!!

For those who watch their diet,If you are a healthy eater or just love vegetables, we suggest making pizza with baked peppers and other ingredients. Believe me, even such a combination can be incredibly tasty! In addition, this is a recipe for an easy-to-make dough, and this version of the dish is ideal for a vegetarian party. Ingredients:
- half a glass of low-fat milk
- boiled water - 125 milliliters
- 4 cups of sifted (highest grade) flour
- 10 grams (one sachet) of dry yeast
- as much as possible the freshest greens
- rock salt at your discretion
Pizza toppings:
- 2 pieces of sweet and large pepper
- leek
- some olive oil
- Cooking salt and ground pepper to your taste
- 4 large spoons of tomato juice
- ordinary small tomatoes or 10 pieces of cherry
- frozen peas - 3 tablespoons
- 125 grams expensive, but delicious Mozzarella
- grated parmesan - 2 tablespoons (no heap)
Method of preparation:First, let's master the dough recipe - combine water and low-fat milk in the specified proportions, add finely chopped (preferably freshly cut) greens. Mix a glass of flour with ten grams of yeast (dry). Pour three to four tablespoons of sifted flour into the resulting mixture of milk and warm water - mix thoroughly with a whisk, or with a mixer. Slowly add flour, remembering to stir. In the end, you should use 3-4 cups. It is better that the preparation of the dough takes more time than it should, but such consistent actions will help to prepare a delicious base, and this is one of the main components of an excellent pizza. Until the dough freely moves away from the sides of the dish, add flour, and then put it on the table. Knead the finished base with your hands. The specified ingredients are enough to prepare two portions of an appetizing vegetable pizza. Therefore, freeze one part for next time, and roll out the rest. Line a baking sheet with parchment and grease with a little vegetable oil. The next step is the filling. Cut the bell pepper and leek into large rings - salt and lightly pepper, add olive oil and put in the oven for a short time. Do not miss the moment when the vegetables are cooked (approximately ten minutes after the start of baking), otherwise they will simply dry out. Now grease the pizza with tomato sauce, sprinkle with leeks and pepper rings. Put small tomatoes on top (divide them into two halves with a knife) and defrosted peas. Cut mozzarella and grate parmesan - sprinkle the pizza. The last touch is to put the product in the oven (the optimal time is 20 minutes). The recipe calls for the use of Mozzarella and Parmesan, but you can, of course, buy regular cheese, but in order for the pizza to be comparable in taste to Italian, it is better to choose expensive elite varieties. As you can see, the filling options can be varied, but the most delicious pizza is made from a mixture of several ingredients: good and high-quality products, the desire to cook and a great mood.
