A recipe for a classic pizza napoletana with olives.
Ingredients
Dough
250g flour
180ml warm water
1tsp salt
10g fresh yeast
Sauce
450g tomatoes
2 gloves of garlic
1 tsp of olive oil
ca. 1/2dl of white wine
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp of oregano
pinch of pepper
pinch of salt
Topping
8 canned anchovies
3–4 teaspoons capers
ca. 10 halved olives
450g of mozzarella
Instructions
Prepare 180ml of warm water and mix it with the yeast until it dissolves. Add the flour and salt and knead it to a dough for about 5 minutes. Put the dough in a bowl and cover the bowl in a wet blanket. Let the dough rise until it has doubled in size.
Cut the tomatoes into small cubes and slice the garlic. Put the garlic in a pan with a tsp of olive oil and let it simmer on a low heat until the garlic gets soft. Then add the tomato cubes. After a few minutes, add the white wine to deglaze the sauce. Add the bay leaf, oregano, pepper and salt, and let it cook for about 20 minutes.
When the dough is ready, take it out of the bowl and roll it out in with a rolling pin.
Then add the sauce, the anchovies, mushrooms and olives and top them with the mozzarella.
Bake the pizza on a high heat for about 10 minutes.
