1 Pinsa

A pinsa is an Italian flatbread base, often described as an oval-shaped cousin of pizza. It’s made from a high-hydration dough that’s crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It’s ideal for adding toppings or baking into a finished dish.

While similar in use, pinsa differs from traditional pizza in dough composition and texture. Pinsa dough typically uses a mix of wheat, rice and soy flours, and is fermented longer for a lighter, more digestible crust than classic pizza.

Pinsa pairs beautifully with traditional pizza toppings like tomato, mozzarella and basil, as well as creative options like grilled veg, chilli honey, cured meats, or salad greens after baking.

Preheat your oven according to the directions on the pack. Add your favourite toppings and bake until the edges are golden and crisp. You can also finish under a grill or wood oven for extra char and texture.

Many people prefer a pinsa base because it’s lighter, airier, and often easier to digest. Pinsa’s also have a unique texture that’s crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, giving a different eating experience than classic pizza crust.
