Formula Aperitivo Perle d'Italia

Garlic mayo is a creamy sauce blending mayonnaise with minced garlic, often used to enhance various dishes.

Garlic Mayo

Fresh avocado with lime, cilantro, and onion.

Guacamole

Cerignola olives marinated in garlic rosemary olive oil

Olives

In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Allow it to sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Activate Yeast

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough starts to form.

Mix Dough

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Knead the Dough

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours or until doubled in size.

Let it Rise

In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Cook Sauce

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.

Preheat Oven

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll or stretch it into a large circle to fit your pizza stone or baking sheet.

Shape the Dough

Spread the prepared sauce evenly over the dough. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top, then add pepperoni, bell peppers, mushrooms, and red onions.

Add Sauce and Toppings

Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Bake the Pizza

Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve hot.
