Ingrédients
  

Dough Ingredients
  • 3 cups bread flour
  • 1 teaspoon instant yeast
  • 1.5 teaspoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for flavor
  • 1 cup water plus 2 to 4 tablespoons as needed
Sauce Ingredients
  • 1 can good tomatoes for sauce
  • 1 pinch sugar to balance acidity
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 splash olive oil
  • 1 small clove garlic for flavor
Topping Ingredients
  • 1 cup whole milk mozzarella for the main cheese
  • 1 handful provolone for added flavor
  • 1 sprinkle parmesan to finish
  • mushrooms or pepperoni slices as desired toppings
  • fresh herbs for garnish after baking

Method
 

Dough Preparation
  1. Mix dry ingredients: flour, yeast, and salt.
  2. Stir in water and olive oil until shaggy. Rest for 20 minutes.
  3. Knead for 5 minutes until smooth. The dough should be slightly tacky.
  4. Cover and let rise until puffy. Refrigerate overnight for best flavor.
Baking
  1. Preheat your oven as hot as it goes, ideally with a pizza stone or steel.
  2. Stretch the dough into a round shape, keeping a light edge.
  3. Blend sauce ingredients until smooth and spread thinly on the dough.
  4. Add mozzarella and your choice of toppings.
  5. Bake until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbling.
  6. For extra crispiness, switch to broil for a minute at the end.

Notes

For a lighter pizza, use part skim mozzarella and load up on vegetables. Use high heat for best results and experiment with different cheese blends for unique flavors.
