AI Pizza

My first time ever making pizza with AI (artificial intelligence) 🍕🤌!
@birramorettiuk have challenged me to put AI to the test and prove how Italian it can be!
I’ve had a longer-than-expected conversation with AI 🤖 on how I can live Italian within the UK and as stereotypical as it sounds, the points that came across were as expected. Yes! We really do care about our pizza and our friends are massively important ….. It was not wrong 🙂
Find the AI pizza recipe below if you want to give it a try, I promise you, I didn’t mess with it too much 😁

Ingredients:
500 gr bread flour (medium strong)
15 gr salt
10 gr sugar
4 gr fresh yeast
310 ml still water
10 ml olive oil
750 gr tinned tomatoes
2 sprigs basils
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tbsp dried oregano
25 ml olive oil
250 gr mozzarella
Salt & pepper to taste

First melt the yeast into the water and then knead all the ingredients together. This is a fundamental step as the salt can attack the fresh yeast and it will not melt al all.
Once smooth & elastic let the dough proof in a bowl covered with a cloth and brush a little oil on the surface to make sure it does not dry out.
The dough needs to proof for a couple of hours to doubled in size and if you make it the day before or in the morning, simply let it proof in the fridge.

Now, gently stretch and flat the dough out to the length of the baking tray. Try to not knock out all the air from the dough. At this stage, let it proof again for about 45 minutes.
When the time is up, lightly oil your hands and press/stretch the dough one final time to make sure it covers the length of the tray.

Mix all the ingredients for the sauce and season to taste. Don’t be shy with the seasoning 🤌.
Spread the seasoning onto the pizza, remove the basil and garlic if you’d like and Bake at 220 C for about 14 minutes or until the pizza starts to color on the top and the bottom looks lightly golden too. This last step was not suggested by AI, it’s a personal touch, at this stage I like to let the pizza slide onto a baking rack, spread the diced mozzarella on top and bake again until the mozzarella has nicely melted.
