Focaccia With Dried Tomatoes and Marinated Anchovies. When it's time for an aperitif, there is nothing better than a focaccia that whets our palate, maybe it goes perfectly with a nice glass of red or white.

During the professional practical courses in our pizza school, it has been customary for some time now, that of taking a short break for an aperitif. It seems like something everyone likes, so why not continue with these pleasant things!

Today during the practical course, after a quick look in the fridge at the available ingredients, the choice fell on one of my favorite pizzas, focaccia with dried tomatoes and marinated anchovies.

Focaccia As An Aperitif

Very easy to prepare, and as I usually do, below you will find the video of the preparation in case you want to prepare it at home next weekend.

There are only two ingredients to prepare for the topping: Dry tomatoes, marinated anchovies, oil, salt and rosemary.

Pizza With Bacon Ham and Cherry Tomatoes. A good day to all lovers of good pizza. Today in our "School of Pizza Makers"Let's prepare another fantastic and delicious pizza. This is a delicious pizza with great ingredients. On a tomato and mozzarella base, we added some thinly sliced ​​bacon, of excellent quality cooked ham and classic cherry tomatoes.

I love it Cherry tomatoes, but they are preferable during the summer months, when they ripen with the sun, I don't like the "industrial" ones that come from artificially matured greenhouse crops.

Pizza with anchovies, rocket and potatoes. Despite Covid, the winter season is already planned. In a few months all the pizzerias in the mountains on the snow will reopen. As every year, emails begin to arrive at our school with requests for pizza chefs from various locations around the world.

This morning I made some phone calls between the guys who took the course and to my great satisfaction I couldn't find one who was unemployed. This is reality, the figure of the pizza chef is an increasingly sought-after job. I suggest you sign up for one of our professional practical courses that we organize in our pizza school. See how to sign up.

Anchovies, rocket and potatoes

The pizza that I suggest today is one of a kind, delicious and to lick i moustache. It is a classic tomato-based pizza with the addition of anchovies, garlic and rosemary. After cooking, we added fresh rocket and grilled diced potatoes.

I used the verb "we" because as you well know, actually I'm not making the pizzas, but they are made by the students who sign up for my weekly Professional workshops, that come from all over the world. At the end of the course they are already able to prepare excellent pizzas and most of them will soon open their own pizzeria.

Pizza With Grilled Vegetables and Bacon. Today's super pizza is the classic and best-selling pizza with vegetables grilling. As you say? It's not true? If you are among those who say otherwise, I guess why no one orders this pizza from you anymore.

In pizzerias, classic frozen grilled vegetables are often used. They are very comfortable, just open the freezer, take a sliced ​​courgette, a sliced ​​eggplant and a layer of pepper, all frozen and slap them on a pizza, maybe even with the tomato base, which with its acidity completely covers the flavor of the vegetables (frozen).

Pizza With Grilled Vegetables and Bacon

But ... do you really think some customers might like this mess you made up? Of course not. Making a pizzeria is a sacrifice, go to the market, buy seasonal vegetables and grill them and flavor them yourself. Only in this way will you win back your customers.

Maybe add some diced bacon as I did in the video below, without exaggerating, you will see that the taste of this almost vegetarian pizza will return to being one of the most requested pizzas in your pizzeria.

The Pizza Prosciuttella. I remember in my childhood when my mother sent me to the local supermarket by bicycle to buy some cold cuts for a snack, there was a wide selection to choose from, I liked a particular salami: The Prosciuttella. More and more difficult today to find in large supermarkets, the Prosciuttella seems to be slowly disappearing, fewer and fewer specialized companies produce it, for those unfamiliar with it it is a typical salami with a shape that resembles a little mortadella but flat, contains a mix of cooked ham and mortadella.

This week in our pizza school Mr. Nuno came to visit us from the beautiful city of Porto in Portugal. Nuno had never tasted Prosciuttella, being a typical Italian salami. Here is that during the preparation of our morning breakfast I decided to prepare the Prosciuttella pizza.

The Pizza Prosciuttella

I invite all gourmands to prepare this pizza next weekend, when you prepare the usual pizza at home. Take care to buy a good cooked ham and a good quality mortadella, are the basic requirements for the success of this pizza.

Another tip I can give you, is not to use mozzarella for the topping of this delicious pizza, but add cooked ham and mortadella only after cooking, perhaps baking a simple marinara with garlic, then add everything.

The Buonissima Prosciuttella

The preparation video will certainly help you.

Focaccia with Tomato and Poppy Seeds. Today in our school of Pizzaioli we prepare a special pizza: It is an OPPIO pizza. The common poppy it is widespread in Italy, it grows spontaneously on the roadsides, along the railways and among the wheat fields. It is a close relative of the opium poppy from which morphine is extracted and the petals and seeds have mild sedative properties.

It is widely used in pastry, in baking and generally in the kitchen, and it is permitted by law as once poppy seeds lose their hallucinogenic properties.

Tomato and Poppy Seeds on a delicious Focaccia

Bored by the heat, in the laboratory of our pizza school, during the course we decided together with Leonel who comes from Argentina and just this week he enrolled in the practical course to become a pizza chef, to "get high" with poppy seeds.

We have prepared a delicious focaccia with thinly sliced ​​raw tomato, of poppy seeds and extra virgin olive oil, salt and rosemary

Tomato and Poppy Seeds
