Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make school pizza? Prepare your food. First for the test. Take natural butter, without adding vegetable fats. Remove it from the refrigerator in advance to allow it to soften. Also remove the egg to keep it warm. Instead of dry yeast, you can use fresh yeast, you will need three times more, 19 grams.

Step 2

Step 2
Take a large bowl in which you will knead the dough. Heat the water to a temperature of 37-38 degrees (it will be pleasantly warm to the touch, but not hot). Pour it into a bowl. Add sugar and yeast to the water. Stir and leave to stand for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Step 3
During this time, the yeast should be activated and rise to the surface with a foamy cap. If this does not happen, then take another yeast, this one is not suitable.

Step 4

Step 4
Add salt to the yeast, beat in the egg, mix well. Be sure to wash your eggs before using them, as even seemingly clean shells can harbor harmful bacteria. It is best to use food grade detergents and a brush.

Step 5

Step 5
Start pouring flour into the bowl in portions, sifting it. It is important to sift the flour to saturate it with oxygen. Then the baked goods will turn out airy and rise well during baking. Stir the dough after each addition. First with a fork and then with your hands.

Step 6

Step 6
When the dough can be kneaded with your hands, add soft butter to it. I didnʼt have time to take it out in advance, so I had to melt it. Continue kneading the dough, adding more flour if necessary. Be prepared that you may need more or less flour than specified in the recipe. Look at the consistency, the dough should become quite thick, but not too steep.

Step 7

Step 7
When the dough begins to pull away from the walls and becomes homogeneous, stop kneading. Not all the flour was gone, I had about 50 grams left. Cover the bowl with the dough with film or a towel and put it in a warm place to proof for 3 hours. I always put the bowl in the oven (not working!).

Step 8

Step 8
Every hour, take out the bowl and knead the dough. It will increase in size nicely.

Step 9

Step 9
After three hours, knead it one last time and start working.

Step 10

Step 10
Separate pieces weighing about 80 grams from the dough. Form them into balls. I got 8 pieces and a very small piece. Cover the pieces with film and leave to stand for 15 minutes.

Step 11

Step 11
During this time, prepare the filling. Prepare ingredients for it and for the sauce. I took boiled sausage, pickled cucumber and cheese. You can add something of your own, depending on your taste and availability. For the sauce, take tomato paste and mix it with the same amount of water. Instead of pasta, you can use any ketchup or tomato sauce, which is what I did.

Step 12

Step 12
Cut the sausage into small cubes or strips.

Step 13

Step 13
Cut the cucumbers in the same way.

Step 14

Step 14
Grate the cheese on a coarse grater. Any cheese is suitable for this dish — hard, semi-hard, soft, such as mozzarella. The main thing is that it is tasty, of high quality, without milk fat substitutes and melts well.

Step 15

Step 15
Roll out the suitable balls into thin round cakes with a diameter of about 15 cm.

Step 16

Step 16
Place the preparations on a baking sheet covered with parchment. I fit 4 pieces. Brush them with tomato sauce.

Step 17

Step 17
Place sliced sausage and cucumber on top.

Step 18

Step 18
Sprinkle everything with grated cheese.

Step 19

Step 19
Preheat the oven to a temperature of 200°C, if it is electric, then select the top-bottom mode. Bake the pizza for 15-20 minutes until browned and cheese has melted. The exact time will depend on the features of your oven. While the first batch is baking, prepare the second and bake it after the first.

Step 20

Step 20
Serve the finished pizza immediately to the table; it’s best when it’s hot. But you can also reheat cooled pizza in the microwave. Bon appetit!
