Ingredients
For the crust
- 500 gr all-purpose flour about 4 cups
- 2 teaspoon active yeast or one packet of
- 1¼ cup warm water
- ⅓ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
Toppings
- 1 onions cut in half and thinly sliced
- 3 ripe tomatoes thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon dry oregano
- 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil total, you might not use it all
- sea salt
- freshly ground pepper
Optional toppings
- ½ cup Sliced bell peppers, all colors
- ⅓ cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
Instructions
make the crust
- In a small bowl, mix the warm water, stir in 1 tsp sugar and 2 teaspoons active yeast. Set aside for about 15 minutes, until the mixture rises slightly and froths.
- In a large and deep bowl, add the flour, sea salt, yeast mixture, and olive oil and knead for about 4-5 minutes, until all the olive oil is absorbed and the dough is soft and elastic. Cover with cling film and set aside in a warm environment for about 1 hour, until it rises and almost doubles in volume.
Make the toppings
- Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C). Place your pizza stone in the oven. Leave it in for 30 minutes.
- Mix the sliced tomatoes with the onions slices in a bowl. Add three or four tablespoons of oil, sea salt, and freshly ground pepper.
- Open the dough with your hands and fingers in a circle of about 14 inches/ 38 cm diameter. Transfer it to a floured pizza peel if you have one; if not, take out the pizza stone very carefully because it will be super hot and assemble ladenia on there.
- Add the tomatoes and onions all over the dough, leaving a small border around the pizza.Sprinkle with oregano, coarse salt, and freshly ground pepper. Sprinkle some olive oil on top.
- Transfer ladenia from the pizza peel to the pizza stone in the oven. Bake for about 20-30 minutes until the onions are slightly caramelized on the surface, and the dough is browned below.
Notes
