Genovese & Margherita Pizza

I made this while remembering the pizza I had when I was in Genova. I get tired of eating the same thing so I made it half and half.

Use tons of mozzarella cheese.
If mozzarella is difficult to come by, use pizza type shredded cheese.
The crust has a lot of olive oil, but since it's rolled out so thinly it's easy to handle. Of course you can decrease the amount if you want. Recipe by Brandy

Ingredients

2 servings
  1. 1two 30 cm pies Pizza Crust
  2. 300 gramsStrong (bread) flour
  3. 50 gramsCorn Grits / Semolina Flour
  4. 20 gramsYeast
  5. 125 mlLukewarm water
  6. 4 tbspOlive oil
  7. 1 tspSalt
  8. 3 tbspTomato sauce
  9. 3 tbspGenovese Sauce
  10. 300 gramsMozzarella Cheese, Pizza Type Mixed Cheese
  11. 1 tbspParmigiano Reggiano, Grated Cheese
  12. 1Chili, Tabasco Sauce (Optional)
  13. 1 pinchBlack pepper
  14. 1 tspRoasted pine nuts (Optional)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1
  2. 2

    Place the flour, yeast, salt, and olive oil into a bowl. Pour in the lukewarm water and mix well. Cover it and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to rise.

  3. 3

    When it has doubled in size, dust with flour and release the gas. Round it off and roll it out into a circle using a rolling pin. Preheat the oven to 220°C.

  4. 4

    Place on a pizza plate. If using a baking sheet, roll the dough into a rectangle.

  5. 5

    Spread the genovese sauce onto 1 half and the tomato sauce onto the other half. Slice the mozzarella into 1cm thick slices.

  6. 6

    Place the mozzarella on the pizza. Sprinkle grated parmesan around the edges. Bake in the oven for 10-20 minutes.

  7. 7

    Top with chili or black pepper. In the photo, I topped the pizza with 1 teaspoon of roasted pine nuts before baking.

  8. 8

    The pizza plate I used is Kaiser brand. It has air holes to create a crisp crust. If you don't have one, it will be fine if you thinly roll out the dough and place it on a baking sheet.

  9. 9

    If you have leftover dough, roll it out thinly and place it in the freezer. Or you could make mini pizzasand freeze them.

  10. 10

    If you don't use corn grits / semolina flour, use 50g of strong bread flour.
