What is Roman Pizza Bianca?
Pizza bianca is Rome’s version of a focaccia or flat bread. It’s usually fluffy on the inside, with an outer crispy crunch, and a scattering of salt. You eat it with your hands and yes, your fingers should get a little oily and salty.

Why is it called Pizza Bianca?
What is Roman White Pizza? – Pizza bianca literally translates as ‘white pizza’ but in actual fact, it is closer to a bread product than what many people consider to be pizza. A simple dough made of flour, yeast, salt, water, and olive oil, it is left to rise for many hours or days to encourage a light airiness.
- Once proved, the dough is stretched and fingertips are used to create an undulating surface to catch the olive oil that is brushed on top before baking.
- As soon as it comes out of the oven it is brushed with a new coat of oil and topped with a light sprinkle of salt and maybe a little rosemary.
- It is simple, comforting and delicious, especially when consumed freshly baked and warm from the oven.
It is said that the origin of pizza bianca comes from Rome’s bakers who, before baking their loaves of bread, would place a small piece of dough into the oven to test the temperature. Nowadays it is a truly Roman recipe, not to be confused with focaccia which is usually found in the north of Italy and generally has a spongier, breadier texture.

What is Pizza Bianca in English?
Pizza bianca is ubiquitous in Rome. Although Romans don’t by and large like eating on the move, chances are you will see people wandering along clutching bready packages and chances are, they’ll be folded pieces of pizza bianca, either plain or filled ( farcita ).
Pizza bianca – “white pizza” – is effectively plain pizza, simply sprinkled with coarse salt. It can be fairly thin, or it can be fairly puffy – more akin to what we’d called focaccia in the UK. There are fine lines between different types of flat bread, but what we call focaccia (literally “hearth bread”, from the word focus – Latin for hearth) is probably more akin specifically to the focaccia Genovese,
Usage of the words “pizza” and “focaccia” vary a lot around Italy; for example, in our local Sardinian restaurant here in Rome, they serve discs of crisp flatbread that they call focaccia, This is my second attempt at pizza bianca, I made some in February 2012, but my oven has such fierce bottom heat, I struggled to get the top golden without over-baking the bottom. 
Plus, well, as pizza bianca can be found in every bakery and pizza takeaway place in Rome, it seemed almost silly to persist in trying to master it. Except recently, when we’d decided to leave, it seemed I really ought to. Then last week I stopped by Rachel’s place while she was making it, and it galvanised me to revisit the document that’s been sitting on the my desktop the past few month called “Pizza bianca recipes”.
- The most important factors Pizza bianca is made with a fairly basic white bread dough, but there are several important things to consider: You want a a nice moist dough.
- You want to give it some folds.
- You have to give it time to ferment.
- You need to be gentle with it.
- And ideally you want decent extensibility, as with any pizza dough.
Mine fell down slightly on the final factor: perhaps an autolyse process at the start would help, but this didn’t seem to be traditional. Or I could have tried to increase the hydration. Rachel used the recipe from Gabriele Bonci’s book (so far only available in Italian), which was 70% hydration (ie 700g water to 1kg flour), but last December we saw this recipe in the window of Bonci’s bakery in Prati, 
Otherwise my first effort was okay; I would have liked to get a nicer golden colour on top, but couldn’t manage that with my pesky oven. which will only be my pesky oven for another 10 days, before we leave our home of the last two years and head back to Blighty, then on to a bit of a trip to see friends and family in the US and NZ.
So all very bittersweet. Yay to visiting friends and family in the US and NZ, boo to leaving Roma friends and infuriating, wonderful Roma. Variation and experimentation As usual with my recipes, I’m experimenting as I go along. You can just make this with commercial yeast, but I did a mixture of fresh yeast and my leaven/sourdough,
If you don’t use leaven, increase the yeast to 12g. A note on the flour too. All the Italian recipes that I’ve seen specify using a grano tenero flour – that is “soft grain”, not a high protein wheat flour. I used Mulino Marino’s organic 0 grano tenero,
00, 0 etc refer to the fineness of the milling; see here for more discussion of Italian flour terminology). This is now available in the UK, but frankly, it’s always better to use local produce as food transportation is a massive contributor to climate change. So see if you can find a medium protein (12-13%) fairly fine flour from your most local mill.
Some recipes also use other ingredients like milk, sugar and even ” strutto di maiale ” (lard), but at its purest pizza bianca is just flour, water, yeast, salt. And olive oil. But then, what’s any Italian food without some olive oil?* Though the oil here is a classic qb element. 
The recipe So here’s my recipe. It makes quite a lot – two fairly large, squarish pizzas – so you’ll need some room in your fridge. Or do half quantities. The process seems quite convoluted, but mostly it’s about time and gentleness.1000g flour 700g water 5g fresh yeast (or 3g active dried yeast) 50g white leaven (100% hydration) 20g fine sea salt 30g extra virgin olive oil or qb,1. 
4. Turn the rough dough out onto a work surface and knead. Try to stretch the dough and fold it over, to incorporate air. 
5. It will be sticky. Don’t keep adding more flour. When you’ve got it nicely combined, clean off your hands with some flour, rubbing it between your fingers like soap. 
6. Put the ball of dough in a bowl, cover with film or a cloth or a shower cap and leave to rest at room temperature.7. Put a drop of olive oil on the work surface and rub. This won’t stop it sticking, but it can help a little 
8. Turn out the dough, and stretch it to form a rough rectangle. Be gentle. 
9. This next bit is important. It’s called stretching and folding, and it’s a gentle way of redistributing the gases building up in the dough and helping develop the structure, aligning the proteins, while avoiding any of that old-school British violent mistreatment of the dough. 
10. Once you have a rough rectangle, fold one third inwards, then fold over the opposite end, to form a kind of envelope. A dough scraper, or tarocco (“tarot card”), is essential here. 
11. Fold this envelope in half again in the centre of the long rectangle, to make a more cube-type shape (sorry, no photo). Put it back in the bowl and cover again.12. Repeat this process two or three more times at 20 minute intervals.13. Clean your bowl, or use a fresh container, oil it, then put the dough back. 
17. Give the dough another gentle fold, form a loose ball, then leave to rest again, bringing it back to room temperature.18. Preheat your oven – ideally about 250C, or as hot as it’ll go. Baking any pizza, the hotter the oven, the better. (A good wood-fired oven can top 500C.) 
19. Take your ball of dough and gently extend it into a square or rectangle to fill your baking sheet or pan. Do this gently, as you want to retain the nice gassy structure. You can either do this on a flour or oiled work surface and transfer it, or it directly on your baking sheet/pan. 
22. Once it’s baked you, drizzle with a bit more oil, so it’ll be absorbed while the pizza is still warm. If you didn’t sprinkle it with salt beforehand, you can do it now instead. 
The results The result should be a delicious salty, slightly crunchy bread with an open, irregular structure. You can vary it by adding olives or rosemary beforehand, but this really is entering focaccia territory, and a true Roman pizza bianca is plain.
- We split ours open and filled it with porchetta, a speciality from the Rome area that’s a rolled pork roast with layers of stuffing made with garlic, rosemary and other herbs and has, ideally, some serious crackling to boot.
- I’m not a meataholic like Fran, but this made for a cracking sarnie.
- We served finger-food sized pieces last night at our farewell-please-take-our-stuff-while-drinking-Italian-craft-beer party.
Boy oh boy, what a great selection of beers we had. 
* Of course, this was a flippant comment. Reading about Marcella Hazan, who died 29 Sept 2013, I feel quite dumb to have even made this off-hand comment, as, of course, some things are better fried in butter or types of vegetable oil, even in Italian cuisine.

What is the difference between pizza bianca and focaccia?
The Dough – At first glance, pizza bianca looks pretty similar to certain types of focaccia, the olive-oil laden Italian bread, but the similarities are mostly superficial. Focaccia is made with an enriched dough—it has oil in it—which gives it a moister, softer texture with far less chew than pizza bianca, which is made with a lean dough.
If you actually take a look at how the suckers are made, you’d notice an even bigger difference: While focaccia are baked in a pan, pizza bianca are baked directly on the floor of the oven, much like a neapolitan pizza. The pie-men (is a pizza bianca still a pie?) will stretch the dough out to a length of about six feet on top of a monstrous paddle before dimpling it with their fingers to prevent large bubbles from forming (a major defect, according to Sullivan Street Bakery ‘s Jim Lahey).
It gets drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with salt, then folded up accordion-style before being inserted deep into a 500-600°F oven and stretched back out with an agility that’d put WilyKit and WilyKat to shame. Bad bubble!. While large, cavernous bubbles that char are considered a defect in pizza bianca, you still want an extremely open, wide hole structure in the crumb.
It adds more steam, When your dough goes into a hot oven, you probably notice that it expands significantly. This is due in large part to the conversion of water to steam within the bread. More water = more bubbles = airier, bubblier bread. It makes your gluten network looser, Gluten is the network of proteins that develops in bread dough when you combine flour and water. This network, when cooked, firms up, giving bread its structure. For optimal bubble formation, you want gluten that is very strong, yet very stretchy. Adding more water to your dough allows those bubbles to be stretched out extra-wide.
If you’ve followed The Pizza Lab thus far, you might remember a post in which I talked about hydration in the context of No-Roll, No-Stretch, Sicilian Style Square Pizza (and if you haven’t followed, then read up!). In that post, I inadvertently managed to perfect a recipe for a focaccia-esque square pizza by adding a ton of extra water to my dough.
While most pizza dough is made with a hydration level of around 65% to 70% (that is, the amount of water added weighs in at 70% of the amount of flour used), I took mine all the way up to 80%, producing a dough that nearly pours out of the mixer, yet bakes up into a supremely stretchy, light, and airy crumb.
In other words, perfect for pizza bianca, With very wet doughs, I find that using the No Knead method is the easiest way to handle it. To develop gluten, you generally want to knead your dough to speed-up the linking process between the proteins in the flour.

What is the difference between bechamel and white sauce?
Frequently Asked Questions – What if my sauce has lumps? Even after following the steps carefully, if your sauce still has lumps, then pass it through a fine-mesh strainer. Adding a little ice-cold water instead of the next splash of milk and whisking vigorously also brings back the sauce from lumpy to smooth.
Add the remaining milk once the sauce is back to being smooth. What are the five mother sauces? The five mother sauces are Béchamel Sauce, Veloute Sauce, Tomato Sauce, Brown or Espagnole Sauce, and Hollandaise Sauce. It is said that any other sauce can be made by modifying these sauces. How to make gluten-free Bechamel sauce? To make the gluten-free Bechamel Sauce, you can substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour or you can use a combination of cornstarch and rice flour.
How to make vegan Bechamel sauce? If you are looking for a vegan version, then use almond milk or coconut milk instead of dairy milk. Also use olive oil to roast the all-purpose flour, instead of butter. What is the difference between Bechamel and white sauce? There is no difference between Bechamel and white sauce.
Bechamel sauce is also called white sauce which is made from all-purpose flour, butter, and milk. But Béchamel sauce is different from cheese sauce, as grated cheese is added to the Béchamel sauce to make the cheese sauce. Check out my Parmesan Cheese Sauce, Is Béchamel sauce the same as Alfredo sauc e? No, Bechamel sauce is not as same as Alfredo sauce.
While BéchamelsSauce is a simple white sauce and uses only all-purpose flour, milk, and butter, Alfredo sauce is made using heavy cream, butter, garlic, fresh parsley, and parmesan or cream cheese.

What is the best sauce to put on pizza?
Traditional Tomato-Based Pizza Sauce s – You can’t go wrong with a traditional tomato-based sauce, Flavored with ingredients like minced garlic, onion, oregano, basil, and other herbs and spices, red pizza sauce is the go-to choice for many people. Heck, some people might not even realize that there are pizza varieties out there that use non- tomato-based sauces, 
Now, this may seem pretty straightforward; it’s just sauce made from tomatoes, right? However, there are thousands of variations of red pizza sauce out there. Basil, in particular, gives pizza that classic Italian flavor. We might be biased, but we love the flavor combinations present on our signature Tomato Basil Garlic pizza (we thought about adding more toppings, but the sauce really sings on this pizza, so we had to stop right there!).

What makes an authentic Italian pizza 
Super thin crusts baked in a woodfired oven, generous spread of fresh tomato sauce, creamy buffalo cheese and fresh toppings – with pizzas like that, who needs a lover! An authentic Italian pizza is not just a dish – it is a celebration of sensational flavours that burst in your mouth and make you go ‘Mmmmm (che buono)!’ An authentic Italian pizza is perfection at 5 different levels – the base, the sauce, the cheese, the toppings and last but not the least – the pizza chef.
The Base Contrary to the deep dish pizzas that we are all accustomed to getting in corner store pizzerias (that originated from USA), cafes and supermarkets, an authentic Italian pizza base is lighter, crispier, thinner and of course tastier. Making an authentic Italian pizza base is an art that only a true romantic can master. The way your wrists knead the soft dough, twirling it between the palms of your hand and making it fly in the air to achieve a consistently thin crust is a result of years of practice.If you can get the pizza base right, you’ve won half the battle. Authentic Italian pizzas require special Italian pizza flour (Type ‘00′ category, which is the finest and the most refined variety available). Next, the proportion of yeast and salt seasoning to the flour should be unmistakably accurate. When the dough is rolled out properly, it must rest for at least 10 hours before being stretched and cooked in a wood-stocked oven for about 3 ½ minutes to get a distinct flavour and welcoming blisters that Italian pizzas are known for.Remember, apart from making the pizza base, it is the dough that lends the pizza its unique texture, binds and holds all the flavours together and makes you feel like you’ve been transported to Italy in that single bite! The Sauce Authentic Italian pizzas are based with nonna’s special fresh tomato sauce (which doesn’t get cooked at all!). This rich sauce must be prepared with peeled Italian tomatoes, preferably with San Marzano peeled tomatoes, and then blanched with salt, fresh basil and extra virgin olive oil to get an original taste. There are no room for modifications and if you cannot get it right the first time, chances are that you’ll have to start from scratch. The Cheese What’s an authentic Italian pizza without a careful sprinkling of fresh and flavoursome fior di latte, or buffalo cheese! It lends the pizza its distinct texture, which when contrasted against the crispy crust truly surprises and delights the taste-buds! Also remember, there is no compromising on the quality of the cheese. Low-grade cheese not only ruins the authenticity of the pizza’s overall taste but is also bad for health. The Toppings With the base, sauce and cheese taken care of, it’s time for the toppings to complete the romance in an authentic Italian pizza. Thankfully, this is your scope to go bold and flirt with flavours and textures.A traditional Italian pizza would just resort to some fresh basil leaves which, together with the red tomato sauce and the white Mozarella di Bufala cheese complete the tri-colour of the Italian flag. However, depending upon the mood, one can sprinkle some oregano and fresh olive oil for a hint of spice. For those with a more experimental temperament, there are loads of textures and flavours to play with.Some classic Italian ingredients such as Prosciutto San Daniele, Provolone, artichokes, Italian sausage, salami, black olives, anchovies and of course a few strands of fresh basil are the true ‘wonder toppings’ for an authentic Italian pizza. Apart from these, you can also use fresh tomatoes, onions, red capsicum, zucchini, mushrooms, eggplant, ham, capers, shaved parmesan, gorgonzola cheese, tuna or smoked bacon the choice of toppings is simply endless!On our menu, we’ve put together loads of different combinations for your reference to ensure that every ingredient matches and complements the other! The Pizza Chef The last and the most important level where all magic combines is in the hands of the pizza chef – the person who brings in his art, experience and expertise to create a culinary masterpiece – the authentic Italian pizza.
So now that you know the secret of making an authentic Italian pizza, put on your chef’s hat and create your own recipe! But, if you’re too lazy to cook up a storm in your kitchen, just head to our page, or and let us take care of it for you!

What is the name of the white sauce?
Béchamel sauce (B esciamella ) is a smooth, white sauce made with just 3 ingredients: flour, milk, and butter. It’s also known as White Sauce or Mother Sauce because many sauces are made with Béchamel as a base, such as Mornay Sauce, which is a somewhat richer version. 
The preparation of Bechamel Sauce consists in adding milk to a white roux, a cooked mixture made with equal quantities of butter and flour. Add a pinch of salt and a pinch of nutmeg then cook for about 15 minutes so that the sauce thickens. Lasagna and Cannelloni would not exist without B esciamella and some pasta recipes or vegetables au gratin require this precious Italian white sauce.
