Ingredients⌗

  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1.5 tsp. yeast
  • 2.5 cups flour
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 1.25 tsp salt
  • Olive oil for brushing onto the crust.

Optional⌗

  • Parmesean for the crust
  • Seasoning to spread

Cooking Instructions⌗

  1. mix water and yeast, let sit 5 minutes
  2. whisk flour, sugar, and salt
  3. add water and yeast mixture to the dry mix, and knead until smoothe
  4. shape into ball, and allow to rise in an oiled bowl for 1-2 hours.
  5. As your dough is about done rising, Preheat oven to 500 F, and if you have a convection oven, set it to convection cook. Recommended to use a pizza stone, and place it in the oven to start preheating.
  6. Separate your dough into two pieces for medium/large pies, or four for smaller ones.
  7. Place onto a lightly dusted plate/sheet pan and cover and rest for 30 minutes.
  8. After 30 minutes, Punch a hole into the center of the dough ball (not all the way through), and start to stretch and pull acroos your knuckles, or whatever method works for you to start stretching into the appropriate shape. If you want thicker crust, allow the edge to be a bit thicker (maybe twice as thick as the middle)
  9. Once your pizza dough is shaped,top with your desired toppings, and place in the oven for about 5-6 minutes for a slightly doughy crust. Another minute or two (7-8) for crispier. Keep an eye on the cooking so you can adjust as needed.
