A crunchy pizza with a basil and garlic sauce. You can add whatever topping you like. I choose scallop, mussels, shrimps, feta cheese, and bell pepper. And mozzarella, of course.

Ingredients
  

Pizza dough

  • 8 gram fresh yeast
  • 400 gram water
  • 25 gram olive oil
  • 600 gram Wheat flour
  • 8 gram sugar
  • 12 gram salt

Basil sauce

  • 1 large bunch of basil - 1 1/2 - 2 cups packed leaves
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 lemon, zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • salt to taste

Topping

  • 1 bell pepper in thin slices or 16 cherry tomatoes
  • 5 oz feta cheese crumbled
  • 5 oz mozzarella shredded
  • 1 lb mussles
  • 8 scallop
  • 1 lb shrimps

Instructions
 

  • Dissolve the yeast in the water and mix it with the rest of the ingredients. Make sure that all flour is hydrated. Let it autolyze for 1 hour.
  • Dump out the dough on a lightly floured working space and divide it into 4 pieces. Form each piece into a ball. Be sure to get some tension on the surface. I use to squeeze the dough through the thumb and middle finger.
  • Put the dough balls on a lightly floured tray and cover with a cling film. Ferment for 8 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat the oven with baking stone to 500ºF / 260ºC (or higher if possible).
  • Form the pizza by using your preferred method. I have included links to 2 methods above. Place the pizza crust on a piece of parchment paper.
  • Pour some basil sauce into the center and spread it out to the edges with the back of a spoon. Add toppings
  • Place the pizza with parchment paper in the oven and bake for 3-4 minute. Now it should be possible to drag out the parchment paper from under the pizza. Continue baking it until the crust and cheese have a nice golden brown color.
