Quick oven-baked pizza recipe

Description

Perfect with tea and coffee. To knead the dough, you can also use a stand mixer. In this case, mix the ingredients for 2 minutes at low speed, then continue at high speed until smooth. Then shape the dough into a ball, cover with a towel or plastic wrap, and let it rest for 5 minutes. The dough is now ready. Considering that we are making pizza dough from scratch here, this is indeed a quick pizza. Serve cooled or slightly warm.

Instructions

1. 1

   Step 1

   Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.

2. 2

   Step 2

   To make the dough, mix the cottage cheese, milk, butter, and salt in a large bowl with a wooden spoon.

3. 3

   Step 3

   Into the same bowl, sift the flour and add the yeast. Start kneading the dough with a spoon, then quickly transfer to a floured working surface and knead by hand. The dough should become smooth, shiny, and non-sticky. It is important not to over-knead it, otherwise it will not stretch well.

4. 4

   Step 4

   Divide the dough into two parts, roll out each part and stretch to a diameter of 26-28 cm. Place the dough onto prepared baking sheets. Prick the dough several times with a fork to prevent it from puffing up during baking.

5. 5

   Step 5

   Brush the dough with tomato sauce and bake in the oven for about 10-15 minutes, until it becomes partially cooked (similar to store-bought par-baked dough); the tomato paste will darken during this process.

6. 6

   Step 6

   Remove the dough from the oven, sprinkle with cheese, and add your favorite toppings: sausage, mushrooms, shrimp, olives, ham, etc. Top with another layer of cheese and add spices: oregano, basil, or others.

7. 7

   Step 7

   Return the pizza to the oven for another 10 minutes, until you see the cheese has melted and the dough is browned on the bottom. The pizza is ready!
