Ingredients
- 180 g all-purpose flour
- 2.5 g active dry yeast
- 110 g water
- 5 g olive oil
- 1 pinch salt
- 3 tbsp tomato sauce
- 150 g mozzarella cheese
- 30 g red onions
- 30 g green bell peppers
- 40 g sweet corn kernels
- 1 can canned salmon
- to taste ground black pepper
Instructions
- 1Mix the dough ingredients
Combine the measured flour, active dry yeast, water, a pinch of salt, and olive oil together directly in a metal mixing bowl.
Tip: Ensure the water is at room temperature to avoid killing the yeast. - 2Knead the dough
Turn the dough mixture out onto a floured wooden cutting board and knead vigorously by hand until smooth and elastic.
Tip: Keep your hands lightly floured to prevent the dough from sticking too much while working it. - 3Roll out the dough
After covering the dough with a warm cloth and letting it rest for 30 minutes, take a portion and use a wooden rolling pin to flatten and roll it out into a thin circular shape.
Tip: Roll evenly from the center outward to maintain a consistent thickness across the crust. - 4Transfer dough to the pan
Carefully pick up the flattened circular dough and place it into a black round baking pan, pressing gently around the edges.
Tip: Make sure the dough fits snugly into the bottom and corners of the pan without tearing. - 5Dock the dough
Take a metal fork and gently poke small air holes evenly across the entire surface of the dough.
Tip: Docking prevents large bubbles from forming and puffing up unevenly while baking. - 6Spread the tomato sauce
Scoop a portion of red tomato sauce onto the dough and use a pink silicone spatula to spread it evenly across the surface. Season lightly with freshly ground black pepper.
Tip: Leave a small border around the edges bare to create a nice crust rim. - 7Add red onions and cheese
Sprinkle a layer of diced red onions and shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the tomato sauce base.
Tip: Distribute the onions evenly to ensure balanced flavor in every bite. - 8Add canned salmon
Layer drained canned salmon pieces evenly over the previously added cheese, corn, and green bell peppers.
Tip: Make sure to thoroughly drain the canned salmon to prevent excess moisture on the pizza. - 9Add final cheese layer
Add a final, generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over all the previously assembled toppings.
Tip: A generous top layer of cheese ensures a delicious, gooey crust once baked. - 10Bake the pizza
Bake the assembled pizza inside a preheated oven at 230 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden.
Tip: Keep an eye on the oven near the end of the baking time to achieve the ideal golden-brown crust.
