Unique and extremely hot black sugar pearl pizza recipe for “bubble tea lovers”

Mixing the Dough

Add 225g of flour, 150ml of water, and 3g of instant yeast into a large bowl.

Mix well until the dough comes together into a mass. Then, let the dough rest for about 20 minutes.

Add 25g of olive oil, 3g of salt, and 10g of honey into the bowl of dough. Mix well once more and then let the dough rest for another 10 – 15 minutes.

Kneading Dough

Sprinkle a little flour on the table surface. Pour the flour onto the table.

First, fold the dough, then use the palm of your hand to press and stretch, pushing the dough away (Folding and Stretching).

Note that you should press and stretch the dough away, not press down; pressing and stretching the dough down will break the gluten strands in the dough, making the bread less tasty.

Rotate the dough block 90 degrees and repeat the two steps above.

Knead the dough for about 15 – 20 minutes until the dough is smooth, elastic; when you press your finger into the dough, it should leave a dent that springs back.

The dough is slightly sticky and somewhat wet; touching it will feel a bit sticky, but when lifted, it does not stick to your hands. The dough should be smooth, elastic, and well-developed.

Letting the Dough Rise

Use a bit of leftover olive oil to evenly coat the entire dough block.

Place the dough in a large bowl, cover it with a damp cloth or wrap the bowl tightly with plastic wrap.

Let the dough rise at room temperature until it doubles in size (depending on the temperature, the rising time is about 45 – 90 minutes; the higher the temperature, the faster the dough rises, but slower rising dough typically results in better bread).

Cutting and dividing the dough

Take the dough out, gently press down on the dough to flatten it (do not punch hard or roll the dough).

Divide into 3 parts, each part about 125 – 130g, to make 1 thin crust pizza with a diameter of about 20cm. Depending on your taste, you can adjust the amount of dough more or less.

Shaping the dough and forming the pizza

Sprinkle a thin layer of dry flour on the table to prevent sticking.

Line a round mold or tray with parchment paper to easily remove the pizza base.

Use your fingers to gently press and shape the dough into a circle, making the edges slightly thicker.

If the dough shows signs of shrinking, let it rest for about 5 minutes before continuing to shape.

After rolling the dough thin (about 3 mm), let it rest for another 15 – 20 minutes. If the weather is dry, cover it with a layer of plastic wrap to prevent the dough from drying out.

Baking the pizza

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees Celsius for at least 30 minutes to allow enough time for the oven to get really hot.

Use a fork to poke small holes so the pizza base doesn’t puff up like bread in the oven. Poke moderately without tearing the base!

Place the pizza in the oven and bake for about 10 – 12 minutes at 250 degrees Celsius. Do not bake for too long, as the pizza may become dry and hard.

Boil the pearls

Boil a pot of water, then add 100g of black pearls and cook until the pearls become translucent and float to the surface.

Next, use a slotted spoon to scoop the pearls into a bowl and add 100g of black sugar. Use a spoon to mix well so that the pearls are coated with the sugar.

Make the tea sauce

Put a new pot on the stove, add 1 liter of water and bring to a boil. Next, put 10g of red tea powder into a filter bag and drop it into the boiling water. Boil for 3 minutes to extract the essence of the tea.

Then, remove the tea bag, add 50g of black sugar to the pot, and stir well until dissolved.

Finally, gradually add 30ml of cornstarch water to the pot, stirring until the mixture reaches a smooth consistency, then turn off the heat.

Completion

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes.

Spread the tea sauce evenly over the pizza base, then add black sugar bubbles and 100g of mozzarella cheese on top.

Next, bake the pizza for 15 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius to finish.

Finished product

The black sugar bubble pizza looks extremely appetizing. The crust is soft and rich, combined with the fragrant tea sauce, while the bubbles are sweet and chewy, enhanced by a slight savory taste from the stretchy cheese.
