Recipe by Etienne Vassiliadis

Pinsa Romana is a lighter, crispier version of traditional pizza, featuring a light, airy texture and a highly digestible base thanks to its long fermentation.
Using Tritordeum flour adds a beautiful golden color, a slight natural sweetness, and improves digestibility even further.

This recipe will help you create an authentic homemade pinsa, with a crispy exterior and soft, fluffy interior. Let’s get started!

Instructions

Prepare the Dough:

In a large bowl, mix the flours with the dry yeast. Gradually add the cold water, mixing with a spatula or by hand. Add the salt, honey, and olive oil, continuing to mix until a sticky dough forms. Knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth but slightly tacky.

Cold Fermentation:

Lightly oil a large bowl and place the dough inside. Cover with a cloth or plastic wrap and ferment at room temperature for 2 hours. Then refrigerate for 24–48 hours for a slow fermentation that improves flavor and digestibility.

Shape and Pre-bake the Bases:

Remove the dough from the fridge and rest for 30 minutes at room temperature. Divide into two portions and gently stretch into oval shapes with your fingers (no rolling pin to preserve air pockets). Preheat the oven to 250°C (482°F) with a baking tray or pizza stone inside. Bake the bases alone for 5–7 minutes until slightly puffed and just starting to brown.

Add Toppings and Final Bake:

Remove the bases from the oven and spread a thin layer of tomato sauce. Add torn mozzarella pieces and bake for another 5–7 minutes until the cheese melts and the base is golden. Top with Serrano ham, fresh arugula, a drizzle of olive oil, and oregano or basil.

Tips for Bakers

✅ Use cold water to slow down fermentation and develop better texture.
✅ Do not over-knead: a slightly sticky dough is ideal for pinsa.
✅ Always bake on a hot tray or pizza stone for extra crispiness.
✅ Top only after pre-baking the base to avoid sogginess.
