Activate the Yeast:
In a mixing bowl, add the warm water (to dissolve the yeast) and the yeast. If you’re using dry yeast, also add a teaspoon of sugar to activate it. Stir until fully dissolved.

Add Oil and Flour:
Add the 1/2 cup of oil, a pinch of salt, and gradually add the flour while mixing until a dough forms that you can knead.

Knead and Let Rise:
You can knead by hand or use a stand mixer. Knead for about 10 minutes. Form the dough into a ball, place it in the bowl, sprinkle a little flour on top, and cover with a cloth. Let it rise for 1 hour in a warm place (like inside the oven turned off with a blanket over the bowl to avoid drafts).

Preheat the Oven:
After 1 hour, the dough should have doubled in size. Punch it down gently to release the air. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C), bottom heat if possible.

To make “COCAS DE SAL”:
Take small portions of dough and stretch them by hand into oval or rectangular shapes. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Flatten them gently and press your fingertips into the surface. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with coarse salt, and optionally add a touch of oregano.

To Make PIZZA:
To turn it into a pizza, shape it round or square. You’ll likely have enough dough to make more than one pizza. Roll out the dough, keeping it thin because it will rise a bit later, and spread the tomato sauce on top. Use a spoon to finish spreading it evenly over the entire base, except for the edges.

Now you can make the pizza with whatever toppings you like best! I made mine with zucchini, red bell pepper, and onion. I sautéed everything in a pan with a little olive oil, salt and oregano.

I grated a little bit of cheese (you can choose the one you like best, I used Havarti because it has flavor and melts really well and Mozzarella) and added it to the pizza.

Enjoy your meal!!! 🍕🧀🥓🍅🧅
