Pinsa deluxe with goat's cheese

What is pinsa and why is it so popular?

Pinsa is a light, oval-shaped Italian dough base known for its crispy crust and soft, airy inside. Compared to traditional pizza, pinsa is easier to digest and has a subtle, artisanal flavour. This makes it a versatile base that pairs perfectly with fresh Mediterranean toppings as well as a variety of Henri Willig cheeses.

How do you top a pinsa?

Topping a pinsa is all about balance and flavour. Start with a good base, such as a flavourful tapenade, and spread it evenly over the crust. Then add cheese, such as creamy Henri Willig Young Goat’s Cheese, for a soft and fresh taste. Finish the pinsa with ingredients like rocket, olives and sun-dried tomatoes to create a balanced combination of savoury, fresh and slightly sweet flavours.

Which toppings go well on a pinsa?

Topping a pinsa can be done in many different ways, depending on the flavours you want to combine. A popular choice is pinsa with goat’s cheese, which pairs well with both fresh and savoury ingredients. If you want to vary your pinsa toppings, consider:

• Fresh ingredients such as rocket or spinach for a light bite.

• Savoury accents such as olives or grilled vegetables.

• Slightly sweet additions such as sun-dried tomatoes or a drizzle of honey.

• Crunchy toppings such as nuts or seeds for extra texture.

This way, you can easily create variation and tailor each pinsa to your favourite flavours and cheeses from Henri Willig.
