Steps to make Kiwani's Italian Pizza:
- Place the flour in a large mixing bowl and make a small hole in the middle of the flour with your finger. Pour into the hole the yeast, salt, sugar and slowly add 340ml of lukewarm water whilst gently mixing with a fork.
- Once conbined and mixed thoroughly, flour your hands and smooth the dough into a ball, adding a pinch of flour occasionally if too wet.
- Flour a board and place the dough ball on the board and be sure to collect all of the dough from around the inside of the bowl and add to the ball. Vigorously kneed the dough into a smooth ball pressing it against the flat surface and folding air into the dough. This gives it a lighter bubbly texture.
- Get a clean mixing bowl and add a drizzle of olive oil to ensure dough doesn't stick to the bowl. Place the dough ball in the middle of the bowl into the oil and then turn it over to cover it in the oil. Wrap with cling film and place in a warm place for a minimum of 45 minutes. We turn on the oven for 5 minutes and then turn it off again so that it's warm enough to prove.
- Peel and bruise the garlic cloves and add to a medium frying pan on a medium heat, adding the olive oil. Fry the cloves until they start colouring, then add the plum tomatoes. Simmer for 5 minutes before adding the salt, dark brown sugar and basil.
- Continue to simmer until the structure of the tomatoes breaks down into a pulp. To test gently press on a tomato with a wooden spoon. Finally add the puree and mix into the sauce thoroughly, then remove from the heat and rest.
- Once proving time has completed and dough is roughly double the size, remove from the bowl and place on floured board ready to portion and roll. Cut the dough in half for 2 large pizzas at roughly 12-14 inches each, or into thirds for 3 medium pizzas at roughly 8-9 inches each. Preheat the oven to 270 degrees Celsius or as high as it will go.
- Roll each individual dough in a generous amount of flour and dust a rolling pin. Kneed the dough adding more air into it and shape it into a smooth, round, floured ball. Flatten with your palm and use the rolling pin to roll out the dough as flat as possible without breaking it. It should roll out to about 4mm or 5mm thick and allow you to pick it up and manipulate.
- Place each rolled base onto a pizza tin or pizza stone and gently roll the edges up so the base is nice and round. This gives your crusts a doughy bread like texture. Leave the base flat if you don't wish to have this texture.
- On the base now add 2 tablespoons of the sauce and spread around the circular middle of the pizza taking care not to get any on your crust, liquid on crust stops it from being doughy. Add mozzarella, any other toppings (we use olives and pepperoni usually, just olives in the picture), a handful of basil and finally black pepper.
- Place the pizza in the middle shelf in the oven and watch it cook. It will take between 5 and 15 minutes depending on how thick you have rolled your dough and how hot you can make your oven. It will be cooked when the dough has browned and the cheese has melted and bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and leave to rest for 3 minutes before using a pizza cutter to divide into slices. This is so that your pizza sauce and dough have time to bind with the cheese and thus will be less sloppy and messy when eating.
