Instructions

  1. Mix all the ingredients for the dough. We have a relatively wet dough here. Knead for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Leave to ferment in a bowl for ~90 minutes. In the meantime, stretch and fold 2-3.
  3. Divide the dough into ~300 g portions and shape into round dough pieces using as little flour as possible.
  4. Leave to rise in a proofing box for approx. 1.5 minutes. Alternatively on baking paper under bowls.
  5. One hour before baking, place the pizza stone in the oven (as high up as possible) and preheat the oven to maximum temperature.
  6. Puree the tinned tomatoes, add the olive oil and salt.
  7. If left to rise in the proofing box, sprinkle with a little durum wheat flour and carefully lift out of the box with a dough scraper into more durum wheat flour.
  8. Now press the dough into the dough piece about 1 cm inside the edge of the dough. Now carefully stretch the dough with enough flour on your fingers. The pizzas are slightly smaller than usual.
  9. Spread with 2-3 tbsp tomato sauce and tear half a mozzarella ball onto the pizza.
  10. Bake in the oven for approx. 6 minutes.
  11. Place the fresh basil on the finished pizza and serve.
