Have you ever heard of pinza? This traditional Italian bread is not only delicious but also relatively easy to make in the comfort of your own kitchen. Follow this step-by-step guide to create a mouthwatering pinza that will impress your family and friends.

Ingredients:

  • 500 grams all-purpose flour
  • 7 grams active dry yeast
  • 10 grams salt
  • 10 grams sugar
  • 300 milliliters lukewarm water
  • 50 milliliters extra virgin olive oil

Instructions:

Step 1: Dissolve yeast in water

In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in lukewarm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the yeast becomes frothy.

Step 2: Mix dry ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center of the mixture.

Step 3: Gradually add wet ingredients

Pour the yeast mixture and olive oil into the well in the middle of the dry ingredients. Using a wooden spoon or your hands, gradually incorporate the wet mixture into the dry mixture until a dough forms.

Step 4: Knead the dough

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 5: Let the dough rise

Place the dough in a clean bowl and cover it with a damp kitchen towel. Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free area for approximately 1-2 hours or until it has doubled in size.

Step 6: Shape the pinza

Punch down the risen dough to deflate it. Shape the dough into a round or oval loaf, depending on your preference. Place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 7: Final rise

Cover the shaped pinza with the damp kitchen towel and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes.

Step 8: Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) while the pinza is undergoing its final rise.

Step 9: Bake the pinza

Once preheated, bake the pinza in the oven for approximately 25-30 minutes or until it turns golden brown on top.

Step 10: Cool and enjoy

Remove the pinza from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy your homemade pinza!

With this simple step-by-step guide, making a delicious pinza at home is a breeze. Impress your loved ones with your baking skills and savor the warm, freshly baked taste of this Italian classic!
