Neapolitan Pizza with Ricotta, Zucchini Blossoms, and Speck
Directions
- 1Mix 300 gr of cold water, 300 gr of flour 00, 5 gr of dry yeast (or 10 gr of fresh yeast), and 5 gr of honey with a spoon until well combined. Cover with plastic wrap, making a few holes on top (or use a lid), and set aside.
- 2In a mixer, combine the poolish, 700 ml of cold water, and 35 gr of salt. Mix briefly at speed number one until the poolish is melted and the mixture is the color of milk.
- 3Add 1050 gr of flour and mix until all ingredients are combined.
- 4Add the remaining water gradually, ensuring the dough absorbs it fully before adding more.
- 5Once the dough is smooth and the bowl is clean, increase the mixer speed to number four and continue mixing.
- 6Lightly grease a surface with olive oil, and place the dough on top to avoid sticking.
- 7Divide the dough into 280-gram portions. Create balls by keeping the top part intact, tucking the bottom around until a smooth ball forms.
- 8Place the dough balls in a container, sprinkle with flour to prevent sticking, and let them rest for 1 to 2 hours (depending on room temperature).
- 9Prepare the toppings: mix ricotta cheese, sun-dried tomato pesto, a pinch of salt, and chopped fresh basil.
- 10Cut the mozzarella cheese into small pieces, and clean the zucchini blossoms.
- 11Fill the zucchini blossoms with the ricotta mixture using a syringe.
- 12Preheat the oven to 250°C in static mode.
- 13Spread the sun-dried tomato pesto on the pizza base. Top with ricotta, olive oil, mozzarella cheese, and zucchini blossoms.
- 14Par-bake the pizza for 4-5 minutes (depending on how it cooks).
- 15Add speck (smoked prosciutto) to the pizza and finish cooking until the mozzarella starts bubbling (around 4-5 minutes).
