Making pizza has become a family ritual. Every housewife has a couple of recipes for any occasion. One of these is the option with cheese and tomato filling.

To prepare it, use the following products:

• wheat flour - 2 tbsp.;
• eggs – 2 pcs.;
• milk - 1 tbsp;
• olive oil – 1 tbsp. l.;
• salt to taste.

For filling:

• tomato paste – 3–4 tbsp. l.;
• Mozzarella cheese – 70–100 g;
• fresh tomato – 1 pc.;
• white meat – 300 g;
• Parmesan cheese – 60 g.

Cooking method:

1. Pour milk into a container, break eggs, add salt to taste and butter - mix everything thoroughly.
2. The mixture is poured into the sifted flour and kneaded into an elastic dough.
3. The dough is collected into a round bun, then left for 15 minutes.
4. White meat fillet is cut into medium pieces, fried a little until golden brown, if necessary, add water and simmer a little.
5. Take out the dough and form a flat cake with the diameter of a frying pan.
6. Oil is poured into it and all parts are coated, including the sides.
7. Carefully transfer the crust, cover with tomato paste, and place fried chicken pieces on top.
8. Add fresh tomato slices.
9. Thin slices of Mozzarella cheese along with grated Parmesan are placed on the entire composition.
10. Place the frying pan on a gas stove and turn on medium heat for 4–6 minutes.
11. Then switch to low heat for further baking for 14–15 minutes.

When baking, the dough must be controlled so that it does not burn. This is the only negative in this cooking method.

Simple options for making fluffy homemade pizza

Let's consider another option for making fluffy homemade pizza. In fact, the dough recipe will be the same as in the recipes above. Therefore, we will consider only the ingredients for the filling. By the way, this version of pizza can be prepared in 3 different ways: without yeast on kefir, in a frying pan and the Roman version. Let's look at it in more detail, but let's start with the list of ingredients for the filling.

Compound

• mayonnaise – 1 large spoon;
• ketchup – 1 tablespoon;
• tomato – 2 pcs;
• sausage – 100 g;
• olives - to taste;
• hard cheese – 150 g;
• salt and herbs - to taste.

Cooking in the oven without yeast with kefir

In this recipe, you need to use 200 milliliters of kefir instead of water, and one teaspoon of soda instead of yeast. The new ingredients must be mixed together, wait a few minutes, and then add the remaining ingredients: flour, butter and salt. The filling ingredients must be crushed and then placed on the risen and rolled out dough in a certain order: ketchunese, ½ part of the cheese, the remaining ingredients, the rest of the cheese. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, preheat to 200 degrees Celsius.

Cooking in a frying pan in 10 minutes

Mini-pizzas, which are individual portions, are usually prepared in a frying pan. That is, there is no need to cut them. To prepare such a dish, you can take any recipe from this article. However, the dough must be rolled out into circles with a diameter of 10-15 centimeters, and not 25-30 centimeters. The dough is then fried on one side, turned over, and only then the ingredients are applied to it. Fry on one side for 5 minutes, and on the other for 7-10 minutes over medium heat. The frying pan should be sprayed with oil first.

Easy yeast pizza recipe

The recipe for fluffy pizza dough with yeast was discussed in the article above, you can take it from there. Here I would like to talk about Roman pizza, which is radically different from the classic options. After all, the classics are prepared in a round shape and cut into triangles. Whereas the version of pizza from Rome is prepared in a rectangular shape and cut into squares. You can use any filling recipe. By the way, Roman pizza is more convenient to prepare at home, since most baking sheets are rectangular.

Quick dough with pressed yeast

The recipe uses the cold fermentation method. This is a simple and very fast method in terms of the housewife’s labor costs, which allows you to get an excellent result.

Interestingly, it turns out that compressed yeast is grown on molasses, a waste product from beet sugar production. And just one yeast cell is enough to grow an entire colony of a strictly defined race.

How much to prepare, portions, nutritional value

15 minutes of active action are required. Product yield: 16 servings. 100 g contains about 278 kcal.

How to cook

1. Crumble the compressed yeast by hand into a bowl with high sides. Add sugar there too.
2. Pour in warm milk, butter and add salt and egg.
3. Add flour gradually, kneading with gentle circular movements.
4. Place in the refrigerator for 12 hours. If it stays longer, it’s not scary, quite the contrary. Properly matured dough is incredibly soft and pleasant to work with.

To summarize

This is how easy it is to make fluffy pizza in the oven with your own hands. The main secret of these recipes is the correct ratio of ingredients for the dough. It is important to note: the pizza base must be allowed to stand for at least 50-60 minutes for it to rise. If you skip this step, the pizza will not be fluffy, but ordinary. Write in the comments which filling option you liked best. I would also like to clarify what kind of dough you prefer to prepare: with yeast or without it? Bon appetit.
