Method

Menu

  1. 1

    Prepare dough (if making fresh dough)

    In a bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let sit 5-10 minutes until foamy.

  2. 2

    Mix dry ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Add olive oil and the yeast mixture; mix until a shaggy dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead dough

    Turn dough onto a floured surface. Knead for 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise 1 hour until doubled.

  4. 4

    Prepare toppings

    If using fresh dough, divide into portions and roll out. Alternatively, prepare sauce and have cheeses ready.

  5. 5

    Assemble pizza

    Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out dough to desired thickness on a floured surface. Transfer to a pizza stone or baking sheet. Spread sauce over dough, sprinkle shredded mozzarella, then parmesan.

  6. 6

    Bake pizza

    Bake for 12-15 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is melted and bubbling. Remove, let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
