Overview

After mixing all the above ingredients (avoiding direct contact between salt and yeast), use chopsticks or a rubber spatula to mix evenly in a large bowl, then cover with a lid/wet cloth and let it rest for 20-30 minutes. This process allows all materials to absorb better. Transfer the rested dough to the counter and knead for 10-15 minutes, until there are no lumps of dough in the dough and there are very somersaults (no need to deliberately pursue "finger membranes"). Turn it upside down on the counter, cover it with a damp cloth/bowl, and let it rise for 40-60 minutes until it has doubled in size. The dough after the second rise is very soft but not sticky.

First preheat the oven to 550F/280C. Squeeze out the air from the risen crust and roll it into a round crust about 6 inches (15 cm) in diameter. Then poke holes on the surface of the crust to make it breathable. Most pizza restaurants will use the tool shown in the picture above to quickly punch holes. If you don’t have one at home, you can buy one 😄 or use a fork instead. After laying out the pizza ingredients, you can put it in the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes.

In addition to the crust, pizza also includes sauce, toppings, and dipping. The sauce has a common red/white sauce base, but for today’s pizza I used a lemon garlic sauce that is often served with Portuguese roast chicken. As for the ingredients, this time I chose the most common cherry tomatoes, cut them in half vertically, and then sprinkled a thin layer of buffalo cheese on top. After taking it out of the oven, place it with basil leaves and smoked salmon fillets. Dips play an important role in the fast-food pizza industry in North America. Their purpose is to prevent everyone from feeling tasteless because they are not covered by ingredients when eating the outermost circle (crust) of the pizza. Common dipping sauces include: CreamGarlic, Ranch, etc. Of course, in recent years, major merchants have also introduced cheese/sausage fillings to solve this problem. But according to Italians, pizza is about simplicity and deliciousness. Based on this, I didn’t prepare any dipping sauce. Instead, I sprinkled a small amount of virgin olive oil on the surface of the pizza before serving it. This action is called Drizzle in English. The purpose is to make the pizza taste more moist, and at the same time, the aroma of olive oil and other ingredients are natural.
