If you’re a fan of Italian cuisine, you’ve probably heard of pizza. But have you tried its lesser-known cousin, Roman pinsa? Pinsa is a traditional Roman dish that dates back to ancient times. It’s a rectangular-shaped pizza made with a unique blend of flours, resulting in a lighter and crunchier texture. In this step-by-step guide, we’ll walk you through the process of cooking authentic Roman pinsa.

Gather Your Ingredients

To make authentic Roman pinsa, you’ll need:

  • 500g of pinsa flour (a mix of wheat, soy, and rice flours)
  • 300ml of water
  • 10g of salt
  • 10g of fresh yeast
  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • Your choice of toppings (such as tomatoes, mozzarella, and fresh basil)

Prepare the Dough

Now it’s time to make the pinsa dough:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water.
  2. Add the pinsa flour and salt to the bowl.
  3. Mix the ingredients until they form a soft and sticky dough.
  4. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise for at least 6 hours.

Shape and Bake the Pinsa

Once the dough has risen, it’s time to shape and bake your pinsa:

  1. Preheat your oven to 250°C (480°F).
  2. Dust your work surface and hands with pinsa flour to prevent sticking.
  3. Transfer the dough onto the work surface and gently stretch it with your hands to form a rectangular shape.
  4. Place the pinsa on a baking sheet or a preheated pizza stone.
  5. Drizzle some olive oil over the pinsa and add your desired toppings.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown.

Serve and Enjoy

Finally, your authentic Roman pinsa is ready to be served:

  1. Carefully remove the pinsa from the oven using oven mitts.
  2. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing it into rectangular pieces.
  3. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, and a sprinkle of salt.
  4. Serve hot and enjoy the unique flavors of authentic Roman pinsa!
