Ingredients

  • 200 grams All-purpose flour
  • 50 grams Rice flour
  • 50 grams Soy flour
  • 2 grams Active dry yeast
  • 400 milliliters Water
  • 10 grams Salt
  • 10 milliliters Olive oil
  • 200 grams Tomato sauce
  • 200 grams Mozzarella cheese
  • 5 Fresh basil leaves
  • 5 grams Oregano
  • 100 grams Fresh mozzarella cheese

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rice flour, and soy flour.

Step 2

Dissolve the yeast in 100 milliliters of lukewarm water and let it stand for 10 minutes until it becomes foamy.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rest at room temperature for 2 hours or until it has tripled in size.

Step 5

Once the dough has risen, deflate it gently and transfer it to a lightly floured surface.

Step 6

Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into an oval, and flatten it till it’s about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 7

Place the flattened ovals on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 8

Preheat the oven to 250°C (480°F).

Step 9

Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce over each oval, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 10

Divide the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the tomato sauce-covered ovals.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cheese has melted.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and add slices of fresh mozzarella cheese along with fresh basil leaves.

Step 13

Sprinkle with oregano and a drizzle of olive oil before serving.

Step 14

Cut the pinsa into wedges and serve immediately.
