Pizza siciliana: la mia Rianata (versione vegan)

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: cheddar cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat while maintaining flavor.

ground meat

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground chicken

Ground turkey is leaner and often less expensive.

pizza sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade tomato sauce

💰Cheaper: canned tomato sauce

Homemade sauce can be healthier with no preservatives.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds umami flavor.

Prepare the pasta madre by refreshing it with 100 gr. of flour and 60 ml of water.

Mix the 250 gr. of pasta madre with 300 gr. of flour and 600 gr. of rimacinata flour.

Add 20 gr. of salt and 20 gr. of oil to the mixture.

Optionally, add 2 gr. of fresh yeast for extra rise.

Knead the dough until it has a good structure, adjusting the water as needed.

Let the dough rise for about three hours for the first rise and four hours for the second rise, or until doubled in size.

Shape the dough and prepare the pizza base with either tomato or a mixture of water, soy sauce, and oil.

Top the pizza with yellow confit tomatoes, dried pachino tomatoes, cooked shallots, cucunci, and fresh herbs.
