This dish is made of buffalo milk stracciata, courgettes, white and red currants, red prawns from Mazara del Vallo, basil, Seleca extra virgin olive oil from north Benevento and air of lemons from Sorrento. The latter idea was given by watching the fish tank's ventilator, which I then used to create the lemon air. To me it represents the foam of the waves placed on this pizza montanara".

ROSSO DI MAZARA
Recipe for 4 people
Ingredients
For the dough
- 150 g flour type 0 “medium strength”
- 110 g cold water
- 0.15 g fresh yeast
- 4.5 g salt
For the topping- 4 red prawns from Mazara del Vallo
- 100 g buffalo milk stracciata
- 40 g white and red currants
- 100 g courgettes cut into thin threads
- Maldon salt
- Oil
- Basil
- For the air of lemon
- 100 g lemon juice
- 3 g soy lecithin
MethodFor the doughPour all the flour into a bowl, and melt the yeast in the water. Gradually add the water and start to knead until the flour has absorbed all the liquid. Add the salt and finish kneading when the dough is smooth. Leave to rest in the same bowl for 20 minutes, then fold it to give it extra elasticity. Form just one piece of dough and leave it to rise in a slightly oily bowl or in a special pizza drawer for at least 8/10 hours. It all depends on the final temperature of the dough and on the room.
After 8/10 hours, put the dough in the fridge for at least half an hour to give it a thermal shock before frying it in oil at 180°C. Roll out the dough adding very little flour. Before dropping it into the oil make some holes with your fingers.
Once fried, add the buffalo milk stracciata, the courgettes seasoned with oil and salt, the white and red currants and the cleaned prawns from Mazara del Vallo, plus the air of lemon and the extra virgin olive oil. The air of lemon was made with lemon juice and soy lecithin, oxygenating it with a ventilator for fish tanks instead of a hand blender.
