Mcallister (cheese) - 18" Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Dough

   In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil, then mix until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth.

2. 2

   Let the Dough Rise

   Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

3. 3

   Preheat the Oven

   Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

4. 4

   Shape the Pizza

   Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface to fit an 18-inch pizza pan. Transfer the dough to the pan.

5. 5

   Add Sauce and Cheese

   Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly on top, followed by grated parmesan cheese. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with oregano and basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. 6

   Bake the Pizza

   Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

7. 7

   Serve

   Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve hot!
