How to prepare the scrocchiarella pizza recipe

  1. Dissolve the yeast in the water and add the flour, mixing with a spoon. As soon as the dough has taken on a little consistency, add the salt and oil.
  2. Finish kneading by hand , directly in the bowl, bringing the dough from the outside towards the inside, going all the way around the container. Cover with cling film and leave to rest in the fridge for 12 hours.
  3. Then divide the dough into two parts , roll them up to form a loaf and leave to rise for 4 hours at room temperature.
  4. Roll out each loaf on a sheet of baking paper the size of the baking tray. To do this easily, oil your hands a little and try not to create holes.
  5. Then season with oil and grains of salt (also rosemary needles if desired) and cook at 220°C for 15 minutes. You can enjoy it both hot and once cooled.

The pizza variant crunches quickly

To prepare a quick scrocchiarella pizza, use 8 grams of yeast and add 1 teaspoon of sugar to help leavening.
