  • 7-10 Tbsp Sugar
  • 7-10 Tbsp Salt
  • 3 TABLESPOONS Olive oil

  • 2 (125 g each) balls of burrata cheese
  • 7-10 Tbsp Flour

Directions

  1. 1

    Pour the flour into a bowl and make a depression in the middle. Dissolve the yeast and 1 pinch of sugar in 250 ml of lukewarm water, pour into the hollow. Mix with some flour from the edge to a pre-dough. Cover and leave to rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add 1/2 tsp salt and 2 tbsp oil to the pre-dough and knead everything for 5-10 minutes to a smooth dough. Form into 4 balls and let them rise covered for about 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Peel and chop the onion and garlic. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a saucepan. Fry the onion and garlic for about 5 minutes while stirring. Add the tomatoes and chop with a spatula.

  4. 4

    Bring to the boil and simmer at low heat for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally (be careful, it splashes!). Season with dried herbs, season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar.

  5. 5

    Wash the basil, shake dry, pluck the leaves. Roll out dough balls on a floured work surface until round (approx. 22 cm Ø). Place 2 shelves on a baking tray covered with baking paper. Spread with tomato sauce.

  6. 6

    Spread the cheese with a spoon. Spread basil leaves on top, except for some for garnishing. Bake the pizzas in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 250 °C/ convection oven: 225 °C/ gas: level 5) one after the other for about 13 minutes.

  7. 7

    Garnish with basil.
