Ingredients

For Dough:

• 3 cups of wheat flour
• 1 cup of natural yeast
• 1 tablespoon of salt
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil ⁣
• 1 cup of water

For Topping:

• 200g of mozzarella
• 50g of cherry tomatoes
• Basil leaves
• Tomato sauce to taste

Steps to prepare and cook:

The Dough:

1. Place the flour on the counter, make a hole in the center and add the natural yeast;
2. Put the salt and oil around. Put water in the middle, little by little, adding the flour around it, until it forms a dough;
3. When it becomes well blended, knead for 15 minutes and let it rest for 1h30 in a glass vessel covered with film paper;
4. Open the dough, pouring flour on the counter and on the rolling pin. It should be very thin;
5. Take to the grill and let it brown;
6. Turn the pizza dough, in the part that we let it brown we will put the filling of the pizza;

The Topping:

7. Cover the disc with tomato sauce;
8. When the dough swells up, place the mozzarella and cherry tomatoes on the grill;
9. Leave on the grill until the cheese melts. A tip to melt it evenly is to use a bowl to cover the pizza, so the steam will help melt the cheese;
10. Finally, remove the pizza from the grill and add the basil leaves.
