Roman Pizza Bianca

Roman Pizza Bianca is a delightful Italian flatbread that embodies the essence of simplicity and flavor. Its origins trace back to the streets of Rome, where it is enjoyed as a snack or appetizer. This crispy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside flatbread is generously drizzled with high-quality olive oil, sprinkled with fragrant fresh rosemary, and finished with a touch of coarse sea salt. Perfect for sharing, it's a taste of Italy that will transport you to a rustic pizzeria with every bite.

Serves 8

Ingredients

All-purpose flour
4 cups
Active dry yeast
2 teaspoons
Warm water
1 1/2 cups (about 110°f/43°c)
Granulated sugar
1 teaspoon
Salt
1 teaspoon
Coarse sea salt
for sprinkling
Fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons, finely chopped
Olive oil
1/4 cup, plus 2 tablespoons for drizzling

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and granulated sugar. Stir gently and let sit for 5 minutes until the yeast becomes foamy.
  2. Add the all-purpose flour, salt, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the yeast mixture. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let rise in a warm place for about 2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
  5. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it preheats to achieve an extra crispy crust.
  6. Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and divide it into two equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
  7. Transfer the rolled dough to a baking sheet or heated pizza stone. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil, then sprinkle with chopped rosemary and coarse sea salt.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
  9. Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and then slice into pieces to serve.

Tips

  • 💡 For a more intense flavor, add thinly sliced garlic or a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes before baking.
  • 💡 Serve with a side of balsamic vinegar for dipping or as a base for your favorite toppings like prosciutto or fresh mozzarella.
