BETH'S HOMEMADE PIZZA RECIPE
Makes (2) 12-inch Pizzas
PRINT RECIPE HERE bit.ly/2FglQ17
INGREDIENTS:
1 1/4 cups (300ml) warm water (110-115F/43C-46C), Separated
1 tsp (5ml) sugar
1 tsp (5ml) dry active yeast
3 cups (360g) bread flour
1 tsp (5ml) salt
1 tbsp (15ml) Olive Oil
1 15-ounce can (425g) pure tomato sauce
salt and pepper to taste
1 clove garlic, minced
2 Tbsp (30ml) tomato paste
1/2 tsp (2.5ml) dried oregano
2 cups (200g) shredded mozzarella cheese
1-2 Tbsp (15-30ml) Fresh Basil
METHOD:
Pour 1/4 cup (60ml) of the warm water in a pitcher or small bowl. Add the sugar and then the yeast. Whisk and allow to sit for 5 minutes.
The solution should turn cloudy and foamy. If nothing happens it means either your water wasn't the right temperature or your yeast is old and best to start again with fresh yeast.
In a large bowl whisk together the flour and the salt. Then add the foamy yeast mixture PLUS the remaining 1 cup of warm water. Stir to combine.
Once the mixtures pulls apart from the sides of the bowl and turns into a dough ball you're ready for kneading!
Turn your dough out onto a floured surface (continue using the bread flour) and knead it for about 10-15 turns. Then clean out your big bowl.
Grease the insides of the bowl with olive oil. Then place your dough inside. Cover with a clean dishtowel or plastic wrap. Place in a warm, sunny space of your kitchen (no drafts!) and allow to rise for at least 1-hour.
To prepare the sauce, heat the tomato sauce in a medium saucepan, add the garlic, salt and pepper, tomato paste, and oregano and simmer for 10-15 mins.
Then preheat oven to 450F (225C).
Flour the skillet lightly and set aside.
IMPORTANT: Cut the dough in half! For (2) 12-inch pizzas OR use one and freeze the other by placing it in a ziplock bag. Then thaw in the refrigerator overnight and use the next day.
Then roll out the dough to a rough circle. If the dough is hard to roll out, just let it sit for a minute or 2 and then come back to it. Sometimes Pizza Dough needs a "time out"!
Fit the dough into the skillet, create a crust indentation with your fingertips around the perimeter, Add 1 ladle of sauce to the center, and spread it around leaving a border for the crust.
Place the skillet on medium-high heat on your cooktop for 3-minutes to set the crust and give it a head start. The crust will also start to puff up! Then place it in the oven for 10-12 mins until golden brown and cheese is melted.
Finish with chopped fresh basil! Enjoy!
