“Tomatoes and cheese - irreplaceable ingredients for pizza ”, that's how I always thought. But it turns out that pizza can be cooked even if there are no tomatoes in the refrigerator. Today I will tell you how.

How to replace tomatoes in pizza

To replace tomatoes, it will come in handy (optional):

• tomato sauce;
• tomato paste;
• ketchup.

Let's make pizza dough

Pizza was originally considered the food of the poor, so there should not be any butter, kefir, eggs, milk in it. The composition of the pizza dough products is quite modest (water, flour, olive oil, a pinch of salt). Whichever recipe I would use, I always double the portion of the dough, as it “flies away” in one evening.

List of ingredients for the dough:

• Yeast - 11 grams (2 teaspoons);
• Warm water - 1 glass;
• Vegetable oil - 1 tbsp. spoon;
• Salt;
• Flour - how much dough will take (about 2.5 cups).

We dilute the yeast with a pinch of sugar and 3 tablespoons of water. Stir and leave for 10 minutes. This way I always check how well the yeast works, fresh or not. It will be a shame if we knead all the ingredients necessary for the dough, spend an hour waiting, and in the end we get wasted time, wasted food and a bad mood.

If the yeast is fresh and of good quality, you will see a fluffy cap after 10 minutes.

So, a sigh of relief! Good yeast- the guarantee of a perfectly rising dough, which we will now begin to prepare.
Add the remaining ingredients to the yeast: warm water, vegetable oil(I like olive), salt, flour.

Do not add too hot water to the dough, this can slow down the yeast.

We begin to knead the dough, first you can use a spoon.

Then we connect our hands (do not forget to remove the rings before kneading the dough).

The dough should be cool enough not to stick to your hands.
Cover the dough with a damp towel dipped in hot water... As practice shows, this is The best way shelter for yeast dough with which it rises quickly and well. Place the dough in a draft-free place for 30-40 minutes.

Proofing time for yeast dough is individual: it depends on the quality of the yeast, the density of the flour and the conditions you have created for proving the dough. If the dough is in a cool place in a draft, it will rise much longer than, for example, in a warm, humid place without drafts.

To rise, I put the bowl of dough in the oven (which is not yet on). There are no drafts in this place and thanks to a damp towel, the necessary humidity and warmth is created. You can put the dough in your kitchen cabinet.
So, after half an hour, our pizza dough has doubled in size.

Sprinkle flour on the surface on which we will roll out the dough. Lay it out and start rolling. The thickness of the crust depends on your preferences: if you like pizza on a thin dough, you need to roll it out very hard, almost until the dough shows through. This dough recipe is suitable for both thick and thin pizza... I roll out the cake 0.5 cm thick. The pizza is thin.

I use an Ikea silicone mat to work with the dough, and I really like it because it makes it easier to transfer the pizza to the baking sheet. When I have rolled out the pizza crust of the size I need, I turn the silicone mat over the baking sheet and the crust is gently moved onto the baking sheet.

You can roll out the dough on baking paper and transfer it to a baking sheet directly on the sheet.

Now we put the filling that we have prepared on the dough cake. Today I have: sausage, sausages, boiled chicken meat. On the Internet you can find great amount recipes for pizza toppings, every time I cook new variant from what is in the refrigerator. I also add finely chopped onion to the filling. Pour tomato sauce on top of the filling (I really love Krasnodarskiy sauce, it tastes sweet and is great for pizza).

Tomato-free pizza can be made with your favorite ketchup added. You can also use tomato paste, but in this case you should add it after diluting it with water / sour cream. Yet the usual tomato paste we use when cooking cabbage soup is very concentrated and can make our tomato-less pizza very sour.

Sprinkle our tomato-free pizza on top with cheese grated on a medium grater. We use any hard cheese you like.

We are used to the fact that cheese is upper layer in pizza. But often it comes in a crust and makes the pizza tough. To avoid this nuisance, the cheese can be grated with the very first layer. Thus we get cheesy taste, but the cheese is soft, stringy, not overdried.

We send the pizza to a hot oven for 10-12 minutes (the temperature should be 220-230 degrees).

The high cooking temperature of the pizza allows it to remain juicy, but at the same time thin crust for pizza has time to cook and brown!


Bon Appetit!

Tomato pizza could not have appeared in Italy until the 16th century, based on the fact that tomatoes came to Europe around this time. The first recipes using tomatoes date back to this particular period. " Golden Apple", In Italian pomo d'oro - that's what they call ripe fruits tomatoes. The ancient Aztecs spoke very similarly - tomatl.

In the wild South America there are still local uncultivated varieties, and, as I was told, often local peasants pick wild tomatoes, as we pick blueberries.

At first, tomatoes were considered inedible and were used for decorative purposes. They even tried to poison some of the famous personalities with this fruit, although they were unsuccessful.
Tomatoes are perhaps the most popular vegetable crop today. High nutritional value, excellent dietary qualities, and in appearance the tomato is very beautiful vegetable... Although, as far as I understand, a tomato is a berry. We eat them fresh, canned, and pickled tomatoes- a masterpiece from the category national appetizer... In the world, tomato is also widely used in dried and dried form. For example, the famous eggplant dish is made with sun-dried tomatoes.

In Italy, many dishes of rice, pasta, dough - often simply unthinkable without a tomato. Tomatoes are not preserved there. in the usual way- canning the pulp. People just buy a can of tomato pulp and use it in cooking. varied dishes... In our country, most often, tomatoes are used, in addition to fresh and suitable for appetizers, such as tomato paste and tomato juice... And, I also forgot ketchup, if there is a tomato. However, making tomato sauce at home is not difficult at all.

In Italy, the vast majority of pizza recipes are with tomato sauce. Usually it is the pulp of tomatoes with the addition of garlic, spices, olive oil. The mixture is stewed in a frying pan, then moisture is partially evaporated from it. Use when cooking homemade pizza ketchup is considered sacrilege.

Had to see a lot good recipes pizzas with tomatoes, sometimes it is difficult to grasp the difference, and to understand why, with almost the same recipe, pizzas are so different.

Tomato pizza - simple and very tasty pizza... It is based on classic italian recipes... The ingredients are tomatoes, cheese, herbs and olive oil. Incredibly simple and incredibly delicious.

Pizza with tomatoes. Step by step recipe

Ingredients

• Pizza dough 400 gr
• Tomatoes 0.5 kg
• Parmesan 50 gr
• Mozzarella 150 gr
• Basil 1-2 sprigs
• Garlic 1-2 cloves
• Salt, oregano, black pepper taste

1. Suddenly I thought, why are the pizzas so different, with almost the same composition? Tomato pizza is special every time.
2. For example, marinara pizza. We are all absolutely sure that marinara is a lot of seafood, and nothing else. At the same time, marinara means that the pizza is cooked with marinara sauce - a mixture of tomatoes, garlic, olive oil and spices. This sauce does not spoil for a long time, and served to provide food for sailors leaving for a long period. Vitamins, again. Hence the marinara.
3. Isn't it all pretty much the same. Probably every pizza, in addition to the ingredients, adds the idea and soul that there is an integral part of the pizza that significantly affects the pizza as a whole.
4. Prepare the dough. I have already published a recipe for pizza dough, with which it is impossible to go wrong and spoil it. Read -. Everything is very simple there, and, judging by the opinions of people, everyone succeeds. Place the dough on a mold. Make sure to lightly grease the form. big amount olive oil. And you need to chop the dough a little with a fork so that the collected steam does not "lift" the pizza during baking. Literally in several places.
5. Prepare tomato sauce. Or according to the recipe I gave as. Or do as I did today.
6. Put half of the cooked tomatoes in a deep bowl and pour boiling water over them so that the water completely covers them. Exactly 60 seconds. Then chill the tomatoes under running cold water... Cut the tomato in half and remove all seeds with a spoon. The tomato peel is easy to peel off, throw it away too.
7. Cut the tomato pulp into cubes, like cutting vegetables for an Olivier salad.
8. Peel and chop garlic with any in an accessible way- grate on fine grater, crush with a garlic press or grind in a mortar.
9. Pour 2 tbsp into a small frying pan. l. olive oil, reheat. Put the tomato pulp in a skillet, add chopped garlic. Salt and pepper a little and add an incomplete teaspoon of sugar. Mix everything and simmer in an open skillet, stirring occasionally.
10. The sauce should be thick enough, but still flowing like sour cream. By the way, if you add "chili", you get an excellent sauce for kebabs.
11. Grease the dough, laid out on the mold, with freshly made sauce. By the way, grease the side, because the filling gets there least of all.
12. Cut the mozzarella into thin slices and spread over the entire surface of the pizza. Or, much easier, grate the mozzarella on a very coarse grater.
13. Sprinkle the mozzarella on top with finely chopped basil. The basilica needs very little, otherwise it will interrupt tomato flavor and the smell of pizza, very much fragrant herb.
14. Sprinkle dry oregano over the pizza.
15. Leave small tomato, pizza with tomatoes will be decorated with it.
16. Cut the remaining tomatoes in half and remove the seeds. The rind can be left. If the peel bothers anyone, then remove it by first scalding the tomatoes. Cut prepared tomatoes into very thin slices. Place the tomato on the greased dough, spread evenly.
17. Grind the Parmesan. Today I read that the harder the Parmesan, the finer it should be rubbed. So that it melts and bakes better. I divide this way: hard parmesan, rub on a fine grater. Then I put the grated Parmesan in a blender and grind it additionally. Grains are obtained like sand. Outstanding!
18. Sprinkle the pizza with grated Parmesan - thoroughly and thickly, right up to the side.
19. Spread over the parmesan large pieces left to decorate the tomato. You need to press it a little against the pizza.
20. Next, put the pizza in the oven. Or into the oven, if you have one. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Pizza with tomatoes is baked - 20 minutes, but it's still worth controlling the readiness.

    

Step 1: prepare the dough.

To prepare this pizza, we will use unleavened dough yeast-free is very easy. We take out a piece of butter from the refrigerator, rub it on coarse grater or put it on cutting board, we chop on very small pieces with a sharp kitchen knife and send them to a deep bowl. We sift there through a sieve with a fine mesh the right amount wheat flour and grind it with fat into small crumbs.

Then pour into the resulting mixture granulated sugar, add egg and clean hands knead a tight, non-sticky dough.

Step 2: prepare the filling products.

In the meantime, peel the garlic cloves and rinse them together with the tomatoes and herbs under running cold running water. Dry vegetables with paper kitchen towels, and from dill and parsley shake off excess liquid over the sink. After that, take turns putting these ingredients on a cutting board and chopping. For each tomato, we cut off the place where the stalk was attached, and cut them into rings, slices or cubes from 1.5 to 2 centimeters thick.

Finely chop the garlic, as well as dill with parsley and put everything in separate bowls. Then we cut off from hard cheese paraffin peel and chop it on a fine or medium grater directly into a deep plate. After that, we put on the kitchen table the rest of the products that will be needed to prepare the dish.

Step 3: form a pizza with tomatoes and cheese.

After 30 minutes, we spread the present dough on the countertop, crush with a thin layer of wheat flour, and roll it out with a rolling pin into a circle with a diameter of about 33–36 centimeters. Then take a non-stick baking sheet or round shape for baking pizza (with the same size), grease the bottom and sides of the selected dish with a tablespoon of butter, sprinkle with flour and carefully transfer the rolled dough there.

We very carefully level the flour semi-finished product along the entire perimeter of the form or baking sheet, making small sides along the edge. Then put the chopped tomatoes on the dough. Season them with chopped garlic, chopped herbs, salt and black to taste ground pepper.

Then pour with mayonnaise and sprinkle with chopped cheese. If desired, lay out a couple more rings or slices of tomato on its surface in an artistic mess and proceed to the next step.

Step 4: bake the tomato and cheese pizza.

We put the form with still raw pizza into a preheated oven and bake it for 15-20 minutes or until the edges of the dough are browned and the cheese layer is melted and covered golden crust.

As soon as the dish is ready, we put on kitchen potholders on our hands, rearrange the fragrant food on the cutting board previously placed on the kitchen table, and let the pizza cool slightly, at least 3-4 minutes.

After that, we cut it into portioned pieces, use a kitchen spatula to lay them out on plates and serve them to the table.

Step 5: serve pizza with tomatoes and cheese.

Pizza with tomatoes and cheese is an appetizing dish with an incredibly rich aroma. It is always served hot, although it is bad for the digestion. Therefore, it is advisable to cool it slightly before serving and afterwards enjoy this delicacy in the company of good friends.

This dish is independent, but if you really want, you can complement it with spicy, spicy or sweet and sour sauces... Also with this culinary masterpiece french fries are ideal, quite tasty, but also harmful carbonated drinks or a bottle of dry semi-sweet red or white wine. Enjoy!
