Pizza Hausgemacht (Homemade Pizza with Ham and Mushroom)
Pizza Hausgemacht (Homemade Pizza with Ham and Mushroom) is German home cooking, eaten at dinner. On the plate it is the dish at the centre. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp instant yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella
- 4 oz cooked ham, diced
- 4 oz button mushrooms, sliced
How to cook it
- Whisk the yeast into the warm water and let it stand for 5 minutes until foamy, then stir in the flour, olive oil, and salt and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth; cover and let rise in a warm spot for 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 475 F with a baking sheet inside.
- Stir together the crushed tomatoes, garlic, and oregano for the sauce.
- Roll or stretch the dough out on a floured surface into a large round, carefully transfer it to the hot baking sheet, and spread the tomato sauce evenly over the top.
- Scatter the mozzarella, ham, and mushrooms over the sauce.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling, then slice and serve hot, the same generic way homemade pizza gets made in kitchens across Germany.
