Pimp Your Pizza - Tricks from the Pro
Here are a few ideas to pimp your pizza with simple tricks, because there's more than just Pizza Salami and Capricciosa. Our pizzaiolo Filippo Licciardo always surprises with new creations. We asked him for tips on pizza toppings with the wow effect. He gets excited and I get hungry with all the goodies he lists. Here are a few tips:
Tip 1: Prepare Ingredients
The more time you invest in preparing your ingredients, the more intense their flavor will be. A simple trick is to grill vegetables before placing them on the pizza. The grill marks ensure the look, and the roasted aromas give your pizza a rich flavor. A fresh pesto after baking or an unusual cheese, and your guests will be delighted. Braised tomatoes for the sauce also intensify the flavor.
Tip 2: Make Creams
Who says only tomato sauce should go on the pizza? Make a vegetable cream, for example from grilled eggplants or pumpkins, and bake a tasty vegetarian Pizza Bianco. If you don't want to do without tomatoes, you can shine with homemade pesto after baking. Many fresh herbs are suitable to create a new and surprising flavor. A mint pesto gives your pizza a new note. And those who are knowledgeable in forests and meadows can find wild garlic, goutweed, and other wild herbs, which, processed into pesto, wonderfully complement a pizza with fresh chanterelles or potatoes.
Tip 3: Topping with Crunch
That we place some fresh and high-quality ingredients on the pizza only after baking, so they retain their full flavor, is clear. Mortadella, Serrano ham, or arugula remain cold. But have you ever tried to make your pizza topping crunchy? You can mix nuts or breadcrumbs with Parmesan, melt, and let them cool. Sprinkle over the pizza, and you have a great crunchy effect.
Feel free to comment your tricks for a little wow on the pizza! We look forward to it.
