Ingredients

Cheese Pizza

 

Serves 3 people

For the Dough:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

  • 3 teaspoons yeast

  • 1 ½ cups warm milk

  • Salt (to taste)

  • 1 teaspoon sugar

For the Red Sauce:

  • 3–4 boiled tomatoes

  • 1 ½ teaspoons garlic, minced

  • 100 ml olive oil

  • Salt

  • Black pepper

  • Fresh basil leaves (or mint as an alternative)

  • 4 fresh tomatoes, sliced into rounds

Preparation

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour with warm milk and mix well.

  • Add the salt and sugar, continuing to knead until the dough forms smoothly.

  • Let the dough rest briefly to relax after kneading.

  • Brush a baking tray with olive oil, then spread the dough evenly inside.

Step 2: Prepare the Sauce

  • Place the boiled tomatoes in a small saucepan over low heat.

  • Add olive oil and stir continuously, cooking for about 5 minutes on medium heat.

  • Season with salt and black pepper, stir well, and let it simmer until slightly thickened. Remove from the heat and let it cool.

Step 3: Assemble the Pizza

  • Spread the red sauce evenly over the baked dough base.

  • Layer with mozzarella slices, then garnish with fresh basil or mint leaves.

  • Add the fresh tomato slices on top for extra flavor and presentation.
