Homemade pizza with shrimp and cheese

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make shrimp and cheese pizza at home? Measure out the required ingredients for the dough. Olive oil can be replaced with any vegetable oil.

2. STEP 2

   

   Sift the flour into a suitable sized bowl. The flour will be enriched with oxygen and the dough will rise better. Combine the sifted flour with the yeast and mix.

3. STEP 3

   

   Dissolve salt and sugar in warm water.

4. STEP 4

   

   Make a well in the flour and pour in the olive oil.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add prepared warm water. Mix everything first with a spoon.

6. STEP 6

   

   Then knead the dough with your hands. It should be soft, smooth, uniform, and not stick to your hands. Cover the dough with a towel or cling film and leave in a warm place for 30 minutes.

7. STEP 7

   

   While the dough is rising, make the filling. You can take regular or tiger shrimp. I have royal ones. If the shrimp are unpeeled, defrost them in the refrigerator or at room temperature first and rinse them well. Remove the shell, tail and intestinal vein from the shrimp.

8. STEP 8

   

   Grate hard cheeses on a coarse grater. Pizza will be especially tasty if you take cheeses with distinct, distinct flavors.

9. STEP 9

   

   Wash the bell pepper, dry it, remove the stem and seeds. Cut the pepper into thin strips.

10. STEP 10

    

    The dough has risen a little. Knead it lightly.

11. STEP 11

    

    Roll out the dough onto the parchment into a circle of even thickness. Transfer the parchment to a baking sheet.

12. STEP 12

    

    Brush the dough with tomato sauce. I used homemade pizza sauce. You can use any tomato sauce to taste or ketchup.

13. STEP 13

    

    Sprinkle the dough with grated hard cheese.

14. STEP 14

    

    Place shrimp on top of cheese.

15. STEP 15

    

    Wash the tomatoes and dry them. I have cherry tomatoes. You can take regular tomatoes and cut them into slices. In this case, choose ripe but firm fruits. Overripe tomatoes do not hold their shape well when cut and can ruin the appearance of the pizza. I cut the cherry tomatoes in half; you can leave them uncut if you wish.

16. STEP 16

    

    Then add olives and mozzarella. I have mozzarella in mini balls. If the balls are large or you are using mozzarella for pizza, cut the cheese into slices.

17. STEP 17

    

    Bake the pizza in an oven preheated to 190-200C for 10-15 minutes until the cheese melts. Do not overcook the pizza so that the shrimp do not turn out tough.

18. STEP 18

    

    Cut the finished pizza into portions and serve. Bon appetit!
