Le Pizzette di Napoli

Dear Bloggers,
        Today I was inspired to make some delicious pizza and make them far from the traditional Napolitan pizzette. I decided in the beginning of the day to make a quinoa dish with squash, tomatoes, and zucchini, however, I didn't have all of the ingredients. Thus, I improvised and made pizza, haha. I began by making the pizza dough with 2 1/2 cups of sifted flour, 1/2 cup of water, salt, 1/4 cup of olive oil, and the active yeast. I formed the dough and let it rise for an hour and forty five minutes. Then, I placed them in the pans and let them rise for an additional hour. I mixed up some leftover ricotta with spinach, salt, pepper, and a smidgen of rosemary and decorated my first pizza with the mixture. I added some sliced tomatoes to the top and drizzled it with olive oil. For the second pizza, I placed a thin layer of mozzarella cheese, then thinly sliced potatoes with salt, pepper, and rosemary. I drizzled it with olive oil and topped it with a few sprigs of fresh basil. I baked them for 15 minutes on 390 degrees. It was such a simple meal, delicious, beautiful, however, I would say that they could've been better. I wasn't too impressed by the dough. I had high expectations of how the dough could've turned out. Next time what I will do is bake the focaccia bread from the previous recipe and then dress them and let them cook for an additional 10 minutes to allow that beautiful rise in the bread which was absent this time around. Anyways, give these recipes a try and see how you like them yourselves. Until next time, stay healthy and happy cooking!
