Ingredients

20 mini pizzas

For the dough

  • 480 g double zero 00 flour
  • 280 g room temperature water
  • 10 g fresh brewer’s yeast
  • 8 g sugar
  • 60 ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 15 g table salt

For the topping

  • 300 g Mutti Pizza Sauce with Spices
  • 50 g diced mozzarella
  • 4 artichokes (tinned if necessary)
  • juice of one lemon
  • 100 g shaved pecorino
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Ground pepper to taste
  • Salt

Method

  1. Put the flour and crumbled yeast in a bowl. Add the water and mix gently.
  2. Add the salt, sugar, and oil. Mix again, then knead on a work surface (or in a mixer) until the dough is smooth.
  3. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 3 hours, or until it triples in size.
  4. While the dough rises, clean the artichokes. Soak them in lemon water for 5 minutes, drain, then season with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  5. Place the diced mozzarella on a cloth to drain.
  6. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 4 mm thick. Cut out 8 cm circles, place them on a lined baking tray, and press the centres down slightly.
  7. Add a spoonful of pizza sauce to each, followed by mozzarella and a drizzle of olive oil.
  8. Bake at 200°C for 10 minutes in the middle of the oven, then move the tray to the top shelf and bake for another 5 minutes.
  9. Remove from the oven, top with artichokes, and finish with pecorino shavings and pepper.
