Ingredients
Scale
For the dough
- 0.3 oz (10g) fresh yeast
- pinch of sugar
- 2 1/3 cups (300g) all-purpose flour
For the filling
- 1 onion, minced
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 lb. (450g) lean ground beef
- 2 tbsp. tomato paste
- 14.5 oz can (425ml) diced tomatoes
- salt, pepper, sugar
For the topping
- 3/4 cup (100)g grated parmesan cheese
- 1 ball of mozzarella
- 1/4 cup (100g) sliced zucchini or peperoni
Instructions
- In a small bowl with a little bit less than 1/4 cup (50ml) lukewarm water, mix the pinch of sugar and the fresh yeast until well mixed. Sift the flour in a large bowl and make a little hollow in the middle, pour the yeast water into that hollow and cover with a little bit flour from the sides. Let rest for 15 minutes in a warm place.
- For the filling mince the onion and garlic finely. In a medium sized pan heat 2 tbsp. olive oil. Add the ground beef and cook for 5-8 minutes. Stir often so you get small crumbles. Add the onion and garlic and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Add the tomato paste and let sweat briefly. Add the tomatoes and season with salt, pepper and sugar. Let cook on medium heat for 12-15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper as you like and let coold down a bit.
- Add little bit less than a 1/2 cup of lukewarm water, 1/2 tsp. salt and 1 tbsp. olive oil to the bowl with the yeast and flour and mix all until you get a nice, smooth dough. Cover and let raise for 30 minutes in a warm place.
- Cut the mozzarella into small pieces and mix with the grated parmesan cheese. Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190°C). Grease a 10 inch (26cm) springform pan and lightly dust with flour.
- On a floured surface knead the dough once more and roll out a circle of 12 inches (30cm). Place in the springform pan and press the dough to the sides. Sprinkle the base with 1/3 of the cheese mix and add the cooked meat on top and spread evenly. Add the zucchini (or peperoni), spread evenly and top with the remaining cheese. Bake for 30-35 minutes. When finished, take out of the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before cutting into pieces. Serve hot.
