Pizza "Margherita" and "Funghi"

Pizza "Margherita" or Pizza "Funghi" ? So hard to decide, so I will do both.

Choose your favorite topping and try to make Homemade Pizza!!!

Dough (for 1 pizza)

• 100g water, lukewarm
• 10g Fresh yeast
• 1/2 tsp Sugar
• 200g Flour - High-quality flour, all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp Olive oil
• 1/2 tsp Salt

Choose the topping:

Margherita (for 1 pizza)

• 200g Mozzarella
• 100g Tomato sauce
• Basil leaves
• Salt

Funghi (for 1 pizza)

• 250g Mushrooms
• 20g Butter
• 100g Mozzarella
• 100g Tomato sauce
• Thyme leaves
• Salt

In a large bowl, mix together water, fresh yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 15 minutes.

Add flour, salt and knead everything. Mix the olive oil in as the last step.

I use a mixer

• for Thermomix set 2 min/"Kneading"
• for KitchenAid set 2 min/Speed 2

Form dough into a ball shape, cover with cling film and let rise for 2 hours (until double in volume)

Cover the baking tray with baking paper. I will make one square pizza with 2 toppings, so I cut in half the ingredients.

The base must be prepared by hand. With a motion from the center outwards, start to press your fingers of both hands on the dough ball. Work gently to obtain the desired shape. At the edge form a small rim.

"Specifically excluded are the use of a rolling pin and mechanical presses."
- according to the official Associazione Vera Pizza Napoletana rules - no joke)))

Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce, and mozzarella cubes, and sprinkle with salt. Bake for 20 minutes.

Fry the mushrooms (with a pinch of salt) in butter until lightly brown. Drain off any excess oil. Spread tomato sauce, mushrooms, mozzarella cubes. Bake for 20 minutes.

Mix the leaves with olive oil, and sprinkle over the pizza and bake an additional 2-5 minutes.
