Mini margherita pizzas with row artichokes: Method
- Put the flour in a bowl with the crumbled brewer’s yeast. Add the water and mix gently with a wooden spoon.
- Add the salt, sugar, oil and mix again to incorporate all the ingredients. Transfer to a work surface and knead until you get a smooth and even ball (you can use a mixer to help if need be).
- Place in a bowl lightly greased with oil. Cover with cling film and allow to rise in a warm place for about 3 hours or until the volume has tripled in size.
- In the meantime, clean the artichokes, put in a bowl of water and lemon for 5 minutes then drain. Transfer to a different bowl and season with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Put the diced mozzarella on a cloth to allow the water to drain out.
- Transfer the dough to a pastry board dusted lightly with flour. Using a rolling pin, roll out to a uniform thickness of 4mm. Use a pastry cutter to make 8cm diameter discs. Arrange them on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and press them down slightly in the middle, leaving the edges thicker.
- Spoon a little pizza sauce into the middle, add the mozzarella and season with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
- Bake in the middle of a static oven for about 10 minutes at 200°. Move the tray up to the highest shelf and cook for a further 5 minutes,
- Remove from the oven, top with the artichokes and serve with the pecorino shavings and pepper to taste
