Description

A classic Italian dish made with melted cheese and savory sauce on a crispy crust

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until yeast is activated.
  2. Step 2: Add olive oil, salt, and 2 cups of flour to the bowl. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Step 3: Gradually add the remaining 2 cups of flour, kneading the dough for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Step 4: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  5. Step 5: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Punch down the dough and roll it out into a circle or rectangle shape.
  6. Step 6: Transfer the dough to a greased pizza pan or baking sheet. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
  7. Step 7: Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the sauce.
  8. Step 8: Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted and bubbly.
