Pizza with eggplant

A recipe for those who love eggplants. Please note, specifically eggplants: ordinary ones are almost dark, from the extreme achievements of selection they are snow-white, plain bright purple and with beautiful marbled veins, huge and small, crooked or completely elongated and teardrop-shaped. Zucchini, peppers, and other vegetables from the garden cannot be replaced. Pizza with eggplant and free toppings is distinguished by the inside, and the choice of dough, thickness and shape of the flatbread is up to you.

Truly delicious eggplant pizza has one secret. You can throw in the vegetable tenderloin right away, raw. Easier and faster. Then don’t expect anything unusual, the blue ones will be edible, but a bit tough and dry around the edges. My strong recommendation: be sure to fry the mugs or long plates before assembling them.

Oiled vegetables change the outcome absolutely. Just a couple of minutes of preparatory stay in the frying pan does not significantly lengthen the total time, and an ordinary function cannot be called labor. To compare, bake pizza with eggplants in two versions: with hot blue ones and without. In addition to the top fire of the stove, you can use a grill, barbecue, or a primitive grill over a fire, but sprinkled with oil.

Save foods with a strong smell (smoked meat, salami, hunting sausages, mushrooms, capers) for another option. This pizza with eggplants and tomatoes has a fairly basic tomato sauce, for the sake of color, bright onions or herbs and meltable cheese. This way you can feel the smell more fully, the warm flesh of the main ingredient - eggplant.

Ingredients

wheat flour 250-300 g
dry yeast 5 g
sea salt 2-3 g
olive oil 3-4 tbsp. l.
tomato sauce 2-3 tbsp. l.
eggplant 1 pc.
tomato 1 pc.
reddish onion 1/2 pcs.
cheese 100 g

Manufacturing

A recipe for yeast pizza dough has long helped me out - it’s not bad because an hour after kneading you can roll out and shape the product. There is no need for a rolling pin, it stretches in your hands and without dusting, it fits under any set of interiors. From time to time, sugar is found in the same dough. In my opinion, the flatbread tastes better without sugar. An ordinary dough with bubbles is not needed here and there is no desire for the taste of pies. Basic, olive oil and large sea salt crystals, at least crushed sea salt. In order. Sift the flour, mix with yeast and sea salt, olive oil and evenly pour in slightly warmed water. Knead for 5-7 minutes until plastic and soft.

Roll into a ball, cover with cling film and let rest for 30-50 minutes in a warm place. The dough will not rise obviously as with other proofing methods. If it changes in size, it won't change much. This is normal, this is how it should be. But it is absolutely necessary to allow a “rest” from your hands after kneading.

Now to the insides. Wash a large eggplant, dry it and cut it, for example, along a width of 3-5 mm. Bars, circles or semicircles - everything comes up. Fry with a small amount of oil on both sides. Season with spices if desired. Transfer to a paper napkin and remove excess fat. The blue flesh absorbs a lot of oil/any fat.

From here we proceed using the usual method. Stretch the dough into a circle, a square, whatever you like, 3-4 mm wide, grease with tasty tomato sauce - store-bought or homemade. Instead of one large one, bake portions, enough for 3-4, or even 5 servings.

We lay our oiled eggplant plates moderately and in one layer. Because I thought the shape of the flatbread was elongated, I cut the blue ones along the length, everything fit in a row with approximately the same distance. The dough stretches perfectly with round bases (flat, with a side), a little thinner or a little thicker, do it as you like.

All that remains is to fill in the empty spaces, scattering the purple onions and tomato slices as sparingly as possible.

Next, sprinkle with cheese flakes and place in a hot oven. Bake for about 25 minutes at a temperature of 190-20 degrees.

Homemade pizza with eggplant is ready, bring it to the table. Have a nice snack.

Pizza with eggplant

Strictly speaking, eggplant pizza is a faster South American version than an Italian one. In Italy, Pizza Parmigiana, or simply Parmigiana, is made completely differently. But that doesn't make the pizza any less delicious. In general, in Italy I had to try this kind of pizza, especially prepared from very coarsely chopped ingredients. Usually, eggplants are just part of the vegetable interior along with tomatoes, peppers and other ingredients.

Dishes similar to pizza existed even among the ancient Greeks and Romans. In the beginning, more quickly, it was a method of serving snacks laid out on slices of bread or specially baked round bread. And pizza itself appeared in Italian cuisine only in the 16th century, with the emergence of tomatoes in Europe. At first, pizza was a dish of farmers, and special people - pizzaiolo (pizzaiolo), prepared pizza for sale, ordinary street food.
