The recipe

1. The Base
Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F). Place the Alimenta Gourmet Pinsa directly on the oven rack: this technique allows heat to circulate uniformly, making the base crispy outside and soft inside.

2. The Topping
Spread the tomato purée over the surface with a spoon, leaving the edges free. This will allow the crust to brown perfectly during cooking.

3. The Filling
Once baked, add the hand-shredded mozzarella and the fresh, halved cherry tomatoes. The heat from the base will gently melt the cheese and slightly warm the tomatoes, keeping their freshness intact.

4. A Final Touch of Freshness
Finish with generous hand-torn basil leaves and a final drizzle of raw oil. Your pinsa is ready to be served: crispy, fragrant, and with an irresistible taste!

The Secret to an Extra Crispy Pinsa

Dreaming of a Pinsa with an incredibly crunchy base and a soft crust? The real trick lies in heat. For a master-level result, forget the baking sheet or tray: bake your Alimenta Gourmet Pinsa directly on the central rack of a preheated oven. This small step allows air to circulate freely, making the base incredibly crispy and the crust tall and soft, just as tradition dictates.
