I am very excited to present to you my latest pizza recipe! I have been making pizzas at home for many years using different equipment and techniques, but I have to say that this latest recipe is not only the easiest, it also gives the best results!
This recipe will give you a pizza that has a beautiful cornicione that is covered with parmesan cheese and is super crispy on the outside while still having a light and moist crumb. The bottom is also nicely charred and crisp!
Get creative with different toppings and have yourself a pizza party!

1. Mix flour, yeast, sugar and water together in a bowl until there is not more dry flour. It should be a shaggy ball. Add salt and rest for 20mins.

10. Place the dough onto pan and continue to shape the pizza
11. Oil the rim of the dough
12. Add tomato sauce to the centre of the pizza
13. Sprinkle parmesan cheese all over the pizza including the rim of the pizza. (you want it to melt and cover the outside!)
14. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and add your desired toppings
15. Place the pan on stovetop at cook at medium heat for 3 mins
16. Using a pair of scissors make a hole in the middle to let steam escape

Is it a must to put semolina flour? If not, can I just use bread flour?
Bread flour is fine, it will not have that extra crunch, though.
Your video helped me make the final decision to buy an Ingenio set.. first thing I made was this pizza and your recipe was so easy to follow and I made the best pizza of my entire life (I’m almost 50 lol). My husband loves it too and we will make this often! Thank you so much for this excellent video. You’re awesome!
