Deliciously adorable: How to make irresistible pizza bears

Do you enjoy creating delicious dishes in a completely new and exciting form? Be sure to make pizza bears, which immediately catch the eye. They taste incredible, too!

When preparing meals in our kitchens, we focus mainly on their taste, ensuring they're memorable and lack nothing. And, of course, this is the correct approach. However, it's also worth remembering that if a dish looks great, its reception can be even better.

A great example of this is homemade pizzas, which, besides the crispy dough, velvety tomato cream, and tasty toppings, also impress with their appearance. They resemble cute bears and are simply irresistible. You can make them, too. I guarantee that even the pickiest eaters, young and old, will enjoy them.

Ingredients:

Dough: 

        
• 740 grams of type 00 wheat flour,
• 460 millilitres of water,
• 1.5 grams of fresh yeast,
• 17 grams of olive oil,
• 28 grams of salt.

Other ingredients: 

            
• mozzarella in brine,
• pizza sauce,
• cherry tomatoes,
• mushrooms,
• corn,
• mini salami,
• basil leaves.

Preparation:

Step 1. I start the recipe by preparing the pizza dough. First, I combine water, 4 tablespoons of flour, and fresh yeast using a mixer.

Step 2. After a moment, I add the remaining ingredients: flour, salt, and olive oil.

Step 3. I leave the well-kneaded dough to rise for 3 hours. Then, I place it into a bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. In this form, the dough goes into the fridge for 20 hours.

Step 4. Next, I divide the dough into 4 smaller pieces and let them rise again under cover for 5 hours.

Step 5. From each risen piece, I form one large round piece. Above it, I place two more petite balls of dough that will serve as ears. I also don't forget the nose, which is also made from the dough.

Step 6. I spread pizza sauce on both the most significant piece and the ears. Then, I place the toppings in the centre: mozzarella, mushrooms, and salami. The prepared pizza goes into a preheated oven for 4-5 minutes. The oven should be at 300°C using the grill function. 

Step 7. Before serving, I decorate the pizzas with corn and fresh basil. I also add additional elements like eyes and more parts of the nose. And that's it, enjoy!
