Japanes pizza


Introducing "Pizza di japanes" - a fusion of Italian and Japanese flavors that will surely surprise and delight your taste buds!


Here are the ingredients you'll need for japanes pizza:


For the dough:

- 2 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour

- 1 teaspoon of instant yeast

- 1 teaspoon of salt

- 1 tablespoon of olive oil

- 3/4 cup of warm water


For the toppings of japanes pizza:


- 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese

- 1/2 cup of cooked and sliced teriyaki chicken

- 1/4 cup of sliced green onions

- 1/4 cup of sliced red bell peppers

- 1/4 cup of sliced fresh pineapple

- Japanese mayonnaise, for drizzling

- Optional: sprinkle of sesame seeds for garnish



Now, let's begin our japanes pizza journey!


1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, and salt. Mix them well to evenly distribute the ingredients.


2. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the warm water and olive oil. Slowly mix the wet and dry ingredients together until a dough begins to form.


3. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead it for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough feels too sticky, you can add a little more flour while kneading.


4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size. Patience is key, my friend!


5. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and prepare a baking sheet or pizza stone by lightly greasing it or using parchment paper.


6. Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles. Roll it out on a floured surface into your desired pizza shape and thickness.


7. Transfer the rolled-out dough onto the prepared baking sheet or pizza stone.


8. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.


9. Arrange the teriyaki chicken, sliced green onions, sliced red bell peppers, and sliced fresh pineapple on top of the cheese. Feel free to get creative with the arrangement!


10. Place the japanes pizza in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.


11. Once the pizza is out of the oven, drizzle some Japanese mayonnaise over the toppings and sprinkle with sesame seeds for a touch of Japanese flair.


Beginner Tips:

- Don't be afraid to get your hands a little messy while kneading the dough. It's all part of the fun and helps develop that perfect texture.


- If you prefer a thinner crust, you can roll the dough out even thinner or divide it into two smaller pizzas.


- Feel free to add your favorite Japanese-inspired toppings like nori flakes, bonito flakes, or even a drizzle of soy sauce for an extra punch of flavor.
