If you love pizza but you don’t have the time to make the dough, let it rise and so on.. this is the recipe for you. This quick dough uses only all purpose flour, water, oil and salt, and will be ready in about 15 minutes. You don’t even need an oven to cook it, just a non stick pan and it’s done. This pizza is perfect when stuffed with ham and cheese, mozzarella, spinach, all sorts of grilled or boiled vegetables, spices, basically you can stuff it with everything you like, you can use leftovers too!
You can also lay the flattened dough on a baking tray, cover it with tomato puree and mozzarella, put it in the oven at 250° for 5 to 8 minutes and you will get a crispy pizza.
Ingredients
- 280gr whole what flour (if using all purpose add about 30/40gr more) + 50gr to dust the board
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 pinch of salt
- water (about 1 cup)
FOR THE FILLING
ham, mozzarella, cheese, grilled vegetables, stir fry spinach and anything else you can imagine 🙂
Method
Step 1
Put the flour in a bowl and add the salt. Mix well then add the oil. Add the water a little at a time, mixing the dough with a fork until it gathers evenly. The amount of water depends on many factors such as the humidity in the room, the type of flour, and so on. That’s why it’s better to pour it in two or three times. If your dough becomes too moist, add some more flour, if it’s too dry add a teaspoon of water.
Step 2
When the dough stops sticking to the bowl, put it on a board and knead it vigorously with your hands. You will reach the right consistency when the dough is very elastic but soft (it will take a couple of minutes) Divide the dough into 8 pieces and shape them into balls. Let them sit for 2 minutes. Flatten the balls with a rolling pin using plenty of flour on the surface so it won’t stick to it. Place the stuffing on one and cover it with another disc. Attach the two discs of dough with a fork or pushing it with your fingers.
Step 3
Heat a non stick pan on the stove and lay one stuffed pizza on it when it’s very hot. Let it cook for a couple of minutes and then turn it over. When the surface is golden brown, remove it from the pan and place it on a plate. Cook the remaining pizzas and serve piping hot, so the cheese inside will melt as you cut each piece.
