I saw pinsa on the cafe menu. I thought it was a typo, but it turned out to be a separate dish. I didn't notice any significant difference from regular pizza. What is the difference?
Pinsa (or pincsa) is a type of traditional pizza, notes chef Alexander VORONOV: “In our cafes, pinsa usually differs in shape: it is not round, but rectangular with slightly rounded corners. The product has no edges, and the center is fluffier than the edges.
There are also specifics in the preparation: the dough made from a mixture of wheat, soy, and rice flour 'ripens' for several days, and the filling is placed not on raw dough, but on an almost ready flatbread.
However, sometimes cafes serve regular pizza under the guise of pinsa, merely using the trendy name. Probably for marketing purposes.”
