The pan-fried alternative
Those who wish can cook the dough in a pan as if it were a focaccia! In this case, we recommend adding an egg to the dough to keep the bread tied.- Remove from the mold and complete the filling by adding tomato sauce: continue cooking for another 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven again, fill with mozzarella and cook for another 5 minutes at 180 ° C. The pizza is ready: finish with rocket, cherry tomatoes and a few flakes of parmesan before serving.
