Nothing compares to the aroma of a freshly baked pizza at home. The crispy texture of the crust, the perfectly melted cheese, and fresh ingredients make this recipe the ideal plan to enjoy with family or friends. With a DRIJA built-in oven, this experience becomes easier, more practical, and more professional.

The Secret is in the Preparation

The perfect pizza starts long before you turn on the oven:

  • Homemade Dough: Proper resting time ensures elasticity and better flavor.
  • Fresh and Spiced Tomato Sauce: Made with natural tomatoes, oregano, and basil.
  • Quality Ingredients: From artisanal cheeses to fresh vegetables and deli meats.

  • Toppings of your choice: pepperoni, ham, mushrooms, peppers, olives, etc.

Preparation

  1. Dough:
    • Mix the yeast with warm water and sugar; let it rest for 10 minutes.
    • Incorporate the flour and salt, then knead until you get a homogeneous mixture.
    • Add the olive oil and continue kneading until the dough is elastic.
    • Let it rest in a covered bowl for 1-2 hours until it doubles in size.
  2. Sauce:
    • Sauté the garlic in olive oil.

    • Simmer on low heat for 15 minutes and add fresh basil at the end.
  3. Assembly:
    • Stretch the dough into a circular shape on a tray or a DRIJA pizza stone.
    • Spread the tomato sauce and add the mozzarella cheese.
    • Place your chosen topping ingredients.
  4. Baking in your DRIJA Oven:
    • Pre-heat the oven to 220 °C (425 °F).
    • Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.

The Oven’s Role in the Final Result

DRIJA built-in ovens (such as the Latino 60 Black or Italia 76 Pro models) feature surrounding heat systems that guarantee uniform cooking. This allows the pizza base to stay crispy while the cheese browns perfectly.
