The correct pizza soft and juicy on the inside, and the outside covered with crispy crust

Select the correct ingredients for pizza

For a start it is very important to choose the right flour and the filling. In order to get the right pizza dough, you need to use flour with a protein content of 12 grams. Gluten contained in the flour, directly affects the formation of a porous crumb.

Thus, in wheat flour "Makfa" contains 10.3 grams of protein. This is more than in a regular Russian flour (9 grams), but less than is necessary to obtain elastic dough.

Real Italian pizza spends in the oven just a few minutes, so when you cooking you cannot use a raw filling – it just will not have time enough to grilled. Pieces of meat, chicken, fish and mushrooms must be pre-fry, and vegetables – stew. With the exception of thinly sliced tomatoes and onion rings. For a few minutes in the oven they'll be covered with a small crust, and the inside remains juicy – just what you need for this pizza. Sausage and other meats pre-heat treatment is not required.
