Instructions
Dough
Knead lukewarm milk, water crumbled fresh yeast, flour, butter, salt, lemon juice and egg together.
Cover the dough then place it into a 68°F – 81°F /20°C – 27°C corner to raise for 30 minutes.
Filling
In the meantime, prepare the tomato sauce. Puree tomato, basil, oregano, salt and olive oil in a blender or simply use tomato sauce.
Pour it into a saucepan, bring it to boil. To reduce its water content simmer for half an hour while stirring occasionally. Take it off heat and let it cool down. Pouring hot sauce on the dough would make it gooey and so hard to handle that it would ruin our day.
Assembly
After the dough has risen somewhat, take it out of the bowl onto a well-floured work surface.
Roll it into a 12 inch / 30cm square. Flouring underneath the dough is important as this coating will prevent it to stick down.
Cut the rolled out dough into 3x3 rectangles. 4x4 will work too but make sure the dough is big enough to close the tomato sauce in.
Spoon the preferably room temperature tomato sauce into each small squares.
Quickly make little dough balls out of them by grabbing the opposite corners and pressing them together.
When making the balls, use a scraper to help getting the dough off the worktop if it’s necessary. The dough is quite soft. Try not to pull it more than necessary.
Place the dough balls into the round cake form next to each other with the recently closed side down. Cover the dough then place it into a 68°F – 81°F /20°C – 27°C corner to raise for 30 - 60 minutes.
Brush some leftover tomato sauce on top.
Grate cheese and sprinkle it on top.
Place the dough into the middle rack of a 390°F / 200°C preheated oven then bake until the internal temperature reaches 185°F / 85°C and the top gets a golden brown color, which should happen in about 20-30 minutes depending on the oven.
