    Ingredients

    Pizza dough:
    250 g flour
    150 ml water
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon sugar
    10 g fresh brewer’s yeast
    1 tablespoon extra-virgin
    olive oil

    Toppings:
    250 g tomato sauce
    100 g Grana Padano PDO, grated
    or flaked
    150 g cherry tomatoes, cut in half
    4-5 anchovy fillets in oil
    1 tablespoon pickled capers (or pickled, well drained)
    Extra-virgin olive oil to taste
    Salt to taste
    Black pepper to taste

    Preparation

    STEP 1

    In a bowl, dissolve the brewer’s yeast and sugar in lukewarm water. Let it stand for about 5-10 minutes until a foam has formed on the surface.

    STEP 2

    Add the flour and salt and start mixing. When the dough starts to take shape, add the oil and continue kneading for 10-15 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
    Cover the dough with a tea towel and let it rise in a warm place for at least an hour, until it doubles in volume.

    STEP 3

    Once the dough has risen, heat the oven to 220°C (static) or 200°C (ventilated). Then roll out the dough on a floured surface, giving it a circular or rectangular shape, depending on your preference. Place the dough on a baking tray lined with baking paper, spread the tomato sauce on it and bake. It should bake for about 15 minutes.

    STEP 4

    Remove the pizza from the oven and scatter the halved cherry tomatoes, anchovies, capers and a sprinkling of Grana Padano PDO flakes. Season with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper to taste and serve.

    This pizza is perfect for a light and tasty meal, a real Italian flavour concentrate. Enjoy!
