Read more about this recipe
It is said that its name comes from the Latin verb “pinsère” which meant “to stretch”, and indeed the traditional and characteristic shape of pinsa is just that: stretched. Similar to pizza, but very different in both shape and flavor, pinsa is made through a long leavening process, a mix of flours, and a dough rich in water that gives it extraordinary digestibility.

Our pinsa with mortadella, pecorino, and Goccia Nera balsamic dressing is a colorful and flavorful delight, genuine and nutritious, that will win over both adults and children.

Some people prefer it over its more famous “cousin” pizza, praising the many differences, but just like pizza, pinsa is loved all over the world. Over time, the way it is enjoyed and topped has evolved. Originally a leftover dish in ancient Rome, it has become a true gourmet delight without renouncing its “humble” origins. What distinguishes pinsa from pizza is not only its typically elongated shape but also its substance. Made with a mix of flours, more water, and less yeast, but with a long leavening process, pinsa is light and digestible, suitable for all ages, every season, and any time of day.

Our pinsa is enriched with genuine and delicious ingredients such as mortadella, Pecorino cheese, and a balsamic dressing that we particularly love, because just a drop of Goccia Nera is enough to sign your dishes as if they were masterpieces. In less than 15 minutes with our pinsa base you can prepare a colorful, healthy, tasty, and nutritious lunch, dinner or afternoon snack. With small variations in the toppings, this recipe will always seem new, and each time it will be like the first: a love at first bite.

  2. Bake in the oven at 180 °C (356 °F) for about 10-13 minutes, until the mozzarella cheese is melted.

Tip

For a softer texture, pistachio pesto is a practical and tasty alternative to the pistachio crumbs. If you desire an even bolder and more intense flavor, you can substitute the semi-aged Pecorino by Emilia Food Love with aged Pecorino or our Strong Provolone.
