Ingredient

For the dough:

• 375g of lukewarm water
• 375g traditional flour, blue type 70%
• 250gr of luxury type flour 55%
• 125 flour kneaded
• ½ sachet of dried yeast (13 grams)

Execution

1. For the dough: Put a glass of water over the sugar and yeast in a bowl and let it activate. Mix all the flour with the salt and, when the yeast is ready (it will have froth), put all the ingredients together and mix very well on the counter. Allow to expand for about 1 hour and then put flour on our counter, divide the dough into balls (200gr./ball) and roll the sheets with the flour.
2. Transfer the dough to a baking dish that has been greased, add the cheese and the tomato slices. Bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees for 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle a little oregano and olive oil. If we want, we also add fresh arugula leaves and prosciutto.
