Discovering Pinsa

Discover the pinsa, a modern pizza sensation with a dreamy, cloud-like crust that is revolutionizing the culinary scene. While a recent addition to the American food culture, this unique dough recipe has roots dating back centuries to the era of Ancient Rome.

Pinsa stands out as a rustic pizza variety that is distinctly lighter and fluffier than its traditional counterpart, all thanks to its special dough blend. Combining wheat, rice, and spelt flours with extra water and reduced salt, pinsa dough is hand-pressed by chefs to create a crust that boasts superior texture and taste.

With a higher protein content, pinsa dough requires an extended rising period (at least 48 hours, but Pinsa Rossa's is set at 72 hours), resulting in a crust that contributes to a more easily digestible crust. Baked at a lower temperature for a longer duration compared to Neapolitan-style pizza, pinsa offers a delightful balance of crispy and chewy textures.

Next time you're hankering for a pizza fix, why not step out of the ordinary and savor the unique delight of pinsa – an ancient yet innovative take on this beloved dish.
