By the way, for making delicious pizzait is not necessary to prepare any special filling. Italians generally make it "from whatever" and even came up with a pizza where the filling consists only of cheese or cheese and tomatoes. And, for example, pizza with minced meat has the same right to exist as pizza with ham or mushrooms. Therefore, we suggest trying to make this kind of pizza, and you will only need to choose the recipe you like.
Thin pizza with minced meat
Ingredients:
- Flour - 1 glass with a slide;
- Fast-acting yeast - 1 teaspoon;
- Vegetable oil - 1 tablespoon;
- Water is half a glass (approximately).
For the filling:
- Minced meat (any meat) - 200 g;
- Tomatoes ripe - 2-3 pieces;
- Bulgarian pepper - 1 pod;
- Hard cheese (any) - 200 g;
- Tomato paste or ketchup - 2 tablespoons;
- Greenery.
Preparation:Of course, it is easy to make such a pizza. But not easier than any other. For express pizza, you can use a ready-made base. But the recipe for a real "soulful" pizza requires time to prepare the dough. To do this, mix yeast with flour, add water and vegetable oil and knead the dough. Then cover it with a towel and leave it to rise for forty minutes (or a little more). While the dough is rising, let's make the filling. First, fry the minced meat in hot vegetable oil, throw it in a colander and cool. Cut the tomatoes into rings, and the pepper into cubes, chop the greens and grate the cheese. Knead the risen dough again and form a thin base (no thicker than five millimeters). Place the base on a greased baking sheet, grease it with ketchup and sprinkle with a little cheese. Next, we lay out the filling: the first layer is tomatoes mixed with pieces of minced meat, the second layer is sweet peppers and herbs, the third layer is cheese. Then we put the baking sheet in a preheated oven for fifteen to twenty minutes and bake the pizza at medium (no more than 220 degrees) heat.
Pizza Calzone
This is a very interesting recipe for a dish that is not very popular amongus closed pizza. Some people think that calzone is a pie. In fact, it is a traditional closed pizza in the shape of a crescent, which can be prepared with any filling. And we will make a calzone with mushrooms and minced chicken. Ingredients:
- Flour - a half cup;
- Yeast dry - half a sachet;
- Sugar - 1 tablespoon;
- Milk is half a glass;
- Vegetable oil - 2 tablespoons;
- Salt is a pinch.
For the filling:
- Minced chicken - 250 g;
- Fresh mushrooms - 250 g;
- Cheese - 100 g;
- Onion - 1 head;
- Fresh tomato - 1 piece;
- Spices and garlic - at your discretion.
Preparation:For the dough, mix the yeast with sugar, dilute it in warm milk and wait until it foams (in about ten minutes). Pour the flour into a bowl, add salt, pour in the butter and milk with the yeast. Next, knead the soft dough (if it turns out too soft, add water) and leave it to rise, covering it with a towel and putting it in a warm place. For the filling, fry the onion and garlic in vegetable oil, add the minced meat, chopped mushrooms, herbs and tomatoes. Fry the filling in a frying pan with the lid open for about ten minutes, cool and mix with grated cheese. Roll out a large round flatbread from the dough, put the filling on half of it, cover with the other half of the dough and pinch the edges. We put our pizza on a baking sheet covered with baking paper, slightly roll the "pie", giving it a crescent shape, grease the top with egg yolk and sprinkle with a small amount of grated cheese. Finally, pierce it in several places with a knife or fork and put it in the oven. In twenty minutes, the calzone is ready. Which recipe do you like more? To feel the difference, try making not only a traditional pizza, but also a calzone. By the way, for an open pizza, you do not have to fry the minced meat beforehand, then the pizza will acquire a completely different taste. Try it, cook with pleasure and bon appetit!
