Cuban content creator Lianna (@liannadice) posted a recipe on TikTok that has quickly gone viral: "the Cuban pizza of a lifetime."
In his video, he explains step by step how to prepare the perfect dough and achieve the traditional flavor of criolla pizza. The first thing, he assures, is to have the right plates: "You can find these plates at Ikea. You can also find them at Asian shops, but the ones from Ikea are the best."
For the dough, use all-purpose flour, warm water, bread yeast, brown sugar, salt, and a splash of oil.
"Buy the cheapest flour, there are so many types of flour, but this one will work for you," she advises. Lianna mixes 600 milliliters of water with two packets of yeast and a tablespoon of brown sugar, and lets it rest for 20 minutes to activate the yeast.
Then combine the mixture with about seven cups of flour, a tablespoon of salt, and a little oil.
"If you don't prepare the dough properly, you won't end up with a delicious pizza," he warns.
Once the dough is ready, let it rest for an hour covered, then divide it to form six to seven small balls, which will serve as the bases for the pizzas.
Before baking, it is recommended to lightly grease the trays with oil and cover the dough with fried tomato, ham, and cheese. “I really like this tomato, the artisanal one from Mercadona; it has a super rich flavor,” he comments.
The cooking starts at 150 degrees and then is raised to 180. “Look at how it turned out… the delicious pizza. The Cuban pizza. I hope you make it,” concludes the creator, showcasing the final result of a simple, economical recipe with Cuban flavor.
