Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the flour, salt and yeast. Add the lukewarm water and olive oil, then knead until you have a smooth, supple dough.
  2. Cover and let rest for 1 hour in a warm place, until the dough has doubled in size.
  3. Preheat the oven to 240 °C with the baking tray inside. Divide the dough into 4 balls and roll each into a very thin disc about 15 cm wide.
  4. Spread a spoonful of passata over each disc, leaving a small border. Add the mozzarella torn by hand and sprinkle with oregano.
  5. Bake on the hot tray for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are golden and the cheese is well melted.
  6. Take out of the oven, add a few basil leaves and a drizzle of olive oil, then serve straight away.

Variations and tips

Mini version. Cut the dough into 12 small balls for bite-sized pizzettas, baking them for 6 to 7 minutes.

Using what is easy to find. Replace the passata with ready-made tomato sauce and the mozzarella di bufala with regular well-drained mozzarella.
