Anastra Pizza Recipe

Make the Dough

In a bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy. Add flour, olive oil, and salt. Knead until smooth. Cover and let rise for 1 hour.

Prepare the Sauce

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Sauté until mushrooms are golden. Add crushed tomatoes, oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 15 minutes.

Assemble the Pizza

Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface. Spread a layer of the roasted mushroom tomato sauce on the dough. Top with smoked duck breast, pickled onions, poached figs, and mozzarella cheese.

Bake the Pizza

Transfer the pizza to a baking sheet or pizza stone. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.

Finish and Serve

Remove from the oven, top with fresh arugula and drizzle red wine syrup over the pizza. Slice and serve warm.
