Pizza Increíble. ¡Queso y Cebolla! ¡Riquísima!

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: provolone

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat while maintaining flavor.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grana padano

Nutritional yeast offers a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

Start with the preferment: combine 50 g of strong flour, 15 g of fresh yeast, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 50 ml of water in a bowl.

Stir well and cover with a plastic bag to let it rise.

Chop 1.5 large white onions into thin julienne strips and set aside.

Chop green onion coarsely, about 4-5 mm, and set aside.

Add salt to the chopped white onion to release its liquid and make it milder in flavor.

Transfer the salted onion to a pot for easier handling and mix well.

For the dough, combine 250 g of strong flour, 130 ml of water, 15 ml of olive oil (divided), 7 g of salt, and the pre-ferment in a bowl.

Mix until a dough forms, then knead for 3-4 minutes.

Add some olive oil and continue kneading for about 10 minutes until the dough is soft and elastic.

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise until doubled in size (about 1.5 hours).

Once risen, prepare a sheet of baking paper and stretch the dough into a family pizza shape, leaving a thicker center.

Spread two-thirds of the released onion mixture over the dough, reserving a third for later.

Add 200 g of grated mozzarella, 100 g of mixed cheeses, and 30 g of grated Parmesan cheese on top of the onions.

Sprinkle the reserved onion mixture on top of the cheese.

Drizzle olive oil over the edges of the pizza.

Let the pizza rest for about 10 minutes to allow the dough to rise further.

Preheat the oven to 250°C (full blast).

Transfer the pizza to a baking tray (upside down) for direct contact with the hot surface.

Bake the pizza at 250°C for about 5 minutes, keeping an eye on the crust.

Remove the pizza and the hot tray, then take off the baking paper to prevent burning.

Add green olives and a sprinkle of oregano, and optionally some ground chili.

Slice and serve the pizza.
