Cheese Pizza

Cheese pizza is a thin homemade pizza on yeast dough with tomato sauce and 300 grams of grated hard cheese, baked in 15-20 minutes at 200-220 °C. The dough rises in just 40 minutes and rolls out very thin. A family favorite - I highly recommend it. Enjoy!

Notes

Thanks to cook Tanya for this wonderful dough recipe.

Tips

• Wait until the yeast mixture gets foamy - that's the check that the yeast is alive.
• Roll the dough out very thin: that's the whole point of the recipe.
• You can slice and serve the pizza while it's still hot.
