- 9 oz water (cold)
- 1 ½ Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp dry yeast
- 1 tsp kosher salt (or sea salt)
- ⅛ tsp sugar (a pinch)
- light olive oil (as needed for frying)
Topping:
- ½ cup San Marzano DOP whole peeled tomatoes (blended)
- ⅛ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp extra virgin olive oil (a drizzle)
- 9 leaves sweet basil (fresh)
- 2 Tbsp Parmigiano Reggiano (grated- 36 month aged Parmigiano Reggiano, omit to keep vegan)

Instructions
Make the dough:
- Dissolve the yeast in the water in the mixer bowl with the pinch of sugar. Add the flour and mix.
- After all the flour is absorbed, add the salt and oil. Mix for about 20 minutes at a moderate speed until the dough has a smooth texture.
- Cover the bowl and leave to rise until doubled in size.
- Put the dough onto a floured surface. Knead gently then flatten until about 1/2" (1.3 cm) thick. Cut with a sharp doughnut cutter and place on squares of parchment paper on a tray. Cover with cling film and put in the refrigerator until the balls double in size (this can take a few hours, even overnight). Remove from the fridge 15 minutes before you want to fry them.
Make the donuts:
- Heat light olive oil to 350°F (170°C) in a deep pot or wok and deep fry the donuts until they are golden on all sides; remove and place on a paper towel lined tray. Press down in the center of the fried pizza to make an indentation to put the sauce into.
- Mix the tomato sauce with salt and extra virgin olive oil.
- Serve the pizza donuts with a spoonful of tomato sauce, a leaf of basil (and grated 36 month aged Parmigiano Reggiano if you like).
Notes
- Chef Enrico suggests using 36 month aged Parmigiano Reggiano.
