My husband is Italian and he would all the time encourage to cook some pizza. So, with my new  bread maker we did just that – baked pizza alle patate and pizza alle cipolle.

First, dough: 

I used the recipe below from  Zojirushi book that came together with machine. My husband doubled checked the recipe on Italian websites and approved the ingredients and amounts 🙂

Just add all ingredients to bread machine and set it to dough function.

For 2 bigger pizzas: divide the dough into 2 balls, cover with a damp cloth and allow to rest for 20min; place one of the balls on the parchment paper (spread some olive oil on top of it) and using rolling pin make it into circle or square; use fork to make wholes in the dough.

For 4 smaller pizzas (12″ or 30cm): divide the dough into 4 balls, cover with a damp cloth and allow to rest for 20min; place one of the balls on the parchment paper (spread some olive oil on top of it) and using rolling pin make it into circle or square; use fork to make wholes in the dough.

The whole process takes about 2 -2,5 hours.

Second, toppings: 

For pizza alle patate you will need some boiled potatoes, oregano and basil, mozzarella cut in cubes and prosciutto.

For pizza alle cipolle you will need ½ of big white onion – pour boiling water over the chopped onion to tone down the flavor. Some olive oil, salt and pepper.

Third, baking: 

1. Preheat your oven to 400F
2. Place pizza dough in the oven for 5 min 
3. Take out the dough and place toppings:
   • Pizza alle patate: mashed boiled potatoes, oregano and basil, salt and pepper
   • pizza alle cipolle: onions, salt, pepper and olive oil  
4. Bake for 20 min, take out add mozzarella on the pizza alle patate
5. 5min later or when the crust is golden, take out pizza from the oven and add prosciutto on pizza alle patate
6. 2-4 min later the pizza will be done! 

Enjoy!
