Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make a simple kefir pizza in the oven? Prepare the necessary ingredients for the dough. Pour the kefir in advance so that it warms to room temperature.

Step 2

Step 2
Combine kefir with soda, mix, leave for 5 minutes. A reaction will occur where the soda is quenched with lactic acid. Bubbles will appear on the surface and the kefir will rise noticeably, so choose a larger container.

Step 3

Step 3
Beat the egg with salt until smooth.

Step 4

Step 4
Pour kefir with slaked soda, stir.

Step 5

Step 5
Add vegetable oil. It will give the dough elasticity.

Step 6

Step 6
Sift flour into the resulting mass and mix. Do not pour out all the flour at once. It may take less than mine. But perhaps more. When kneading the dough, focus on its consistency.

Step 7

Step 7
The dough turns out soft and tender. Do not add a lot of flour; the dough should not be too stiff. Wrap the finished dough in a bag and leave on the table for 15-20 minutes. The gluten in the flour will develop and the dough will become more pliable.

Step 8

Step 8
While the dough is resting, prepare the tomato sauce for the pizza. You can use any ketchup or ready-made sauce. Choose seasonings and spices to taste.

Step 9

Step 9
Cut the pre-peeled garlic into thin slices.

Step 10

Step 10
Heat olive oil slightly in a frying pan. Place garlic in a frying pan and sauté it in oil over moderate heat for 1 minute. The oil will become aromatic and acquire a piquant taste. Remove the garlic.

Step 11

Step 11
Add tomato paste to the pan and stir. Warm up for 1 minute.

Step 12

Step 12
Add water to the tomato paste and mix well. Bring the sauce to a boil.

Step 13

Step 13
Add aromatic herbs, sugar to balance the taste, and salt. Stir. Simmer the sauce over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring. The sauce will thicken a little.

Step 14

Step 14
Cover the pan with a lid and remove from the stove. Let the sauce sit for 5 minutes to enhance the flavor. This amount of sauce is enough to grease a pizza base with a diameter of 22-23 cm.

Step 15

Step 15
For the filling you can use any products that are available.

Step 16

Step 16
I have ham. Cut the ham into thin slices. Any boiled or smoked sausages will also work.

Step 17

Step 17
You can use regular tomatoes. One medium tomato or 3-4 cherry tomatoes will be enough. Wash the tomatoes and dry them. Choose the cut as desired.

Step 18

Step 18
Wash the bell pepper, dry it, remove the seeds and stalk. Cut the pepper into rings or strips.

Step 19

Step 19
Olives can be replaced with olives. They can be cut into rings, cut in half or left whole.

Step 20

Step 20
Any cheese is suitable — hard, semi-hard, soft, like mozzarella. The main thing is that it is tasty, of high quality, without milk fat substitutes and melts well. Grate the cheese on a coarse grater.

Step 21

Step 21
Roll out the dough on parchment into a round layer. Form small sides. My pizza diameter before baking is 23 cm.

Step 22

Step 22
Brush the base with tomato sauce.

Step 23

Step 23
Sprinkle with a little cheese.

Step 24

Step 24
Lay out the ham slices.

Step 25

Step 25
Distribute the tomato slices.

Step 26

Step 26
Place bell pepper rings.

Step 27

Step 27
Distribute the olives evenly.

Step 28

Step 28
Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.

Step 29

Step 29
Bake the pizza in an oven preheated to 190 C for about 20 minutes. Cooking time and mode depend on the operating characteristics of a particular oven, so they may vary. Focus on your technique.

Step 30

Step 30
Cut the finished pizza into pieces and serve warm. Bon appetit!
