Experience the authentic charm of a **Traditional Italian Pinsa**, a centuries-old Roman dish that marries rustic flavors with a light, airy texture. Crafted from a unique blend of all-purpose, rice, and soy flours, this beautifully thin and oval-shaped crust is naturally crisp on the outside yet soft and pillowy within. With its slow fermentation process, the dough develops a depth of flavor that sets it apart from traditional pizza. Topped with vibrant tomato sauce, creamy mozzarella, fresh basil, and a fragrant touch of oregano, this pinsa is baked to golden perfection in just minutes. Perfect for a casual dinner or a sophisticated appetizer, this recipe offers a slice of Italian heritage that you’ll savor with every bite. Serve it hot, drizzled with a splash of extra virgin olive oil for the ultimate Italian indulgence.
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rice flour, and soy flour.
Dissolve the yeast in 100 milliliters of lukewarm water and let it stand for 10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
Gradually add the yeast mixture, the rest of the water, the olive oil, and the salt to the flour mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon to form a sticky dough.
Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rest at room temperature for 2 hours or until it has tripled in size.
Once the dough has risen, deflate it gently and transfer it to a lightly floured surface.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into an oval, and flatten it till it’s about 1/2 inch thick.
Place the flattened ovals on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Preheat the oven to 250°C (480°F).
Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce over each oval, leaving a small border around the edges.
Divide the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the tomato sauce-covered ovals.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cheese has melted.
Remove from the oven and add slices of fresh mozzarella cheese along with fresh basil leaves.
Sprinkle with oregano and a drizzle of olive oil before serving.
Cut the pinsa into wedges and serve immediately.
