#PretendCookingShow: Pizza 🍕

The secret behind Pizzana (THE Los Angeles destination for real deal Italian pizza 🍕🙌🏼) is my longtime friend Daniele Uditi. I could not be happier for Daniele’s success— I could not be more excited to have him here — as my one and only #PretendCookingShow exclusive. 🤣🙌🏼❤️🍕😁 #WatchingMakesMeHungry #NoWonderMyJeansDontFit

Margherita Pizza by @ChefDanieleUditi of @pizzanala

Ingredients:
– 4 ½ cups bread flour
– 2 cups water
– 1 tsp yeast
– 1 ½ Tbsp salt, plus dash for sauce
– 1 (28oz) can San Marzano whole peeled tomatoes
– Fior Di Latte cheese (or another dry mozzarella)
– Parmigiano cheese
– Olive oil
– Fresh basil

Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 500℉.
2. Crush your can of tomatoes in a bowl by hand. Add a dash of salt. Mix by hand and set aside.
3. Add yeast to water, mix (Daniele does it with his finger!💪🏼). Pour into a bowl with 3 cups of flour. Dig in with your hands. Knead for about 5 minutes— by bringing the bottom of the dough to the top center. Add more flour as necessary as you go.
4. Move dough to a flat working station and let rest for 2-3 minutes. One more quick knead and then give it an hour under a— hot tip— stainless steel bowl. 🤯
5. When ready, divide the ball into four.
6. The dough is airy, so you will take your cute ball and push the air to the sides as you flatten into a sphere. You don’t need it very thin. About 10” in diameter.
7. Drizzle oil in a circle following the outline of the crust. Rub in a little bit with your fingers.
8. Spoon on your sauce (don’t be stingy, Daniele uses a lot!)
9. Add basil (again, Daniele uses quite a bit!)
10. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until your crust is starting to brown and bounces back.
11. Remove and add your cheese and another swirl of olive oil!
12. Bake for 2-3 minutes more, just enough for the cheese to melt.
13. Yum. 🍕😬🍷

    That first one looked like a Margherita Pizza, never had one. How was it compared to multi-topping varieties?

    CANADA here…
    Hey Jenn. Love your show.
    Little tip.
    If you really want to make your pizza pop, toss in a tablespoon of high fat yogurt.
    The probiotics party with the yeast creating a fluffier dough.
    It is the best.
    Hope to see you up here visiting again one day…
    Northern BC will blow your mind.
    Cheers 🙂

    Way to Go Jen ! You are learning from a Pizza Prince 🤴 🍕! Your video showed us a lot of unique techniques! Wish I was there to make and eat pizza. Yummy

    I am Italian and I approve, I do a couple of things differently (like making it grow overnight) but I don't have complains, I would absolutely eat it and enjoy it 🎉

    You should blend the tomatoes. Not blending them gives it a chunky sauce, veggie taste that most folks aren't big-on when it comes to pizza. Jennifer was right. Js.
