  • Pizza is arguably Italy's most famous dish and can now be found all over the world. We're most familiar with takeaway and even frozen pizza but once you've made your very own pizza from scratch, there really is no going back.
    In this video, Italian chef, Gennaro Contaldo shows you how to make homemade pizza at home - don't worry, you don't need a wood oven to follow this recipe. Here you'll learn how to make, knead and shape the dough before topping with delicious Parma ham and fresh rocket for a simple yet delicious meal!
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
    Ingredients
    (makes 2 x large pizzas)
    For the dough
    500g strong flour
    5g salt
    10g fresh yeast
    325ml lukewarm water
    Topping for Margherita
    150g tinned chopped tomatoes or tomato passata
    Salt & pepper
    1 x tablespoons extra virgin olive oil & extra for drizzling
    1 x tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
    1 x ball mozzarella
    A few fresh basil leaves
    Topping for Prosciutto & Rocket
    Extra virgin olive oil for drizzling
    1 x ball mozzarella
    1 x tablespoon grated parmesan
    4 x slices of Parma ham
    Handful of rocket
    Juice of ½ lemon
    Method
    First make the dough. Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm water. Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Gradually add the yeast mixture, mixing well until you obtain a dough. Place dough on a lightly floured work surface and knead for about 10 minutes. Cover with a cloth or cling film and leave to rest in a warm place for at least 30 minutes until the dough has doubled in size.
    Preheat the oven to 220 degrees centigrade.
    Take the dough, knock it back, then divide into two pieces, cover each with a cloth and leave to rest in a warm place for a further 30 minutes.
    Meanwhile prepare the toppings. For the Margherita, place tomatoes or passata in a small bowl, season with salt & pepper and stir in 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Roughly chop the mozzarella.
    Sprinkle some flour onto a clean work surface and with your fingers spread each piece of dough into a roughly round shape with a border, make the dough as thin as you can but be careful not to tear it. Sprinkle some semolina or flour onto 2 large flat baking trays and place the pizza bases on them.
    Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil over each base. On one, spread the tomato mixture evenly over, sprinkle with parmesan, scatter a few basil leaves over and top with mozzarella.
    On the other base, arrange mozzarella and parmesan all over, top with Parma ham.
    Place both pizzas into the hot oven and bake for 8 - 10 minutes.
    In the meantime, toss the rocket in a little extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice.
    Remove the pizzas from the oven, top the Parma ham pizza with rocket and serve immediately.

Thanks for the recipe Gennaro and I wish you much happiness and health in your life.

    After eight years of following Gennaro's recipe, I've made some personal changes to my pizza recipe, but the foundation remains the same. My wife refuses to eat any other pizza and over the years, my friends are surprised at the quality of the pizza I've been making. The single biggest improvement was using a pizza oven, one of the best Christmas gifts I've received from my wife. Makes you wonder who the gift was for at times, but nevertheless, I'm grateful for this video. Pizza seems simple to make, but in simplicity there are details you refine over the years and the preparation process itself is my zen moment in the kitchen. Grazie!

    A little tip to everyone:
    As he uses a stone oven, the surface he places the pizza on is really hot, as well as the air around it, whereas when we try to make it at home, we have pizza trays or flat trays at room temperature.
    If you use a tray the base of the pizza is not going to cook completely in 10 minutes, so try preheating the tray together with the oven and then baking the pizza on the hot tray.
    I tried both ways and the first one didn't have a completely cooked dough below the pizza.
    Good luck

    For any users of the customary system and/or people with a regular oven instead a wood burning oven I tested this recipe out twice in the same night, however here are some measurement adjustments:
    - Flour: 3 1/2 cups (I tried all-purpose bleached flour and unbleached bread flour and honestly the crust consistencies came out the same I preferred the all-purpose flour pizza)
    - Sea Salt: 1 1/8 tsp
    - Yeast: 1 packet or a 1/4 ounce of yeast
    - Water: 1 1/2 cups
    These measurements worked for me and I followed the rest of the steps from the video, with the exception of the toppings I used:
    - Homemade Pesto for my sauce
    I still drizzled the olive oil and sprinkled the sea salt over my sauce as well as an Italian cheese blend substitute for parmesean when pushing the sauce around!
    - Provoleta or Provolone for my cheese
    - Jamon Iberico
    - Hard Italian salami
    - Oregano on the ends of the crust
    Also, on the pan before placing the pizza on the pizza tray I thinly spread olive oil and half a handful of cornmeal on the pizza pan to stop any possible sticking.
    You're going to bake the pizza for approximately 12-14 mins at 475 degrees Fahrenheit on the top rack of your oven, then broil on high for about 1-2 mins.
    It turned out amazing the broiler not only crisps up the toppings and caramelizes them a lil but also gives you a similar look and taste to the fire spots of a wood burning or brick oven.

    I just finished eating my second portion. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I DO THIS RECIPE. I sincerely wish that I could describe the results without sounding like a cliché, but: THIS IS DEFINITIVELY THE BEST PIZZA I HAVE EVER MADE. My whole family agrees, My son even asked me to thank Mr Gennaro Contaldo for this recipe that it has become our official recipe.
    Some remarks:
    - I have a regular oven, which I preheated to 300 C, with the trays I would use inside.
    - I prepared the pizzas and put them into a baking paper.
    - I made three pizzas, and took one and half of the recipe. It worked out perfectly.
    - I always baked one pizza at the time.
    - They baked for 10 minutes (you can see the crust rising and changing colours, it's very exciting)
    - After the pizza was done, I put the second one in the middle to bake but left the one that was ready in the lowest tray of the oven so that the bread would get crispy.
    My mistakes by the second pizza: it was not thin enough and it had too much cheese. (my family was eating and rushing me for more). Of course, it is a matter of personal taste. To me, this bread is so delicious that it's a pity to overpower it with cheese.
    I recovered by the third, that turned out as good as the first one.
    I wonder if you could freeze them?, once cooked or raw? with or without toppings?. It would be useful to know.
    I hope this has been useful to you.
    Thanks again!

      Hi, I am Italian and I routinely cook pizza at home, as I live in Dallas now. You can freeze it after having cooked it halfway, with the toppings. Basically, follow the entire recipe, cook it until you see that it is like 3 minutes from being perfect, then pull it out. Let it cool down, then freeze it. When you'll want to eat it, just pre-heat the oven and finish cooking it. Good luck!

    • @pollythehomeless3400
      @pollythehomeless3400 4 роки тому +33

      The flour is the key. Different types of flours can absorb water in a very different way.
      I don't know how flour categories work in the rest of the world, but here in Italy strong flours are signaled by a W. The higher the number, the stronger the flour. So for example, we have 360W, 420W... The 420w is the strongest, I think, and you can even mix this flour with classic white flour, to balance the amount of gluten in your dough... Basically, with "strong" he means that has an higher amount of gluten in it, because it is a very refined flour.
      Hope this helps.

      ​@@buckbumble yeah... actually I was wrong... He's been cooking in London for that long, but he only owned 1 restaurant that has closed in 2009. Sorry for the wrong info there. His main thing now is his channel on youtube, cookbooks, cooking shows, etc.
      He also appears quite often on Jamie Oliver channel and shows, they're close mates.
