Ingredients
Method
Techniques
- Italian style flour
- all purpose flour
- salt
- instant yeast
- pizza dough flavor
Weigh the Italian style flour and all purpose flour into a bowl; add the salt, instant yeast and pizza dough flavor and stir until homogeneous.
Two flours and why
- water
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Add lukewarm water (mid to high 90s) and 2 tablespoons olive oil and combine, keeping the sides of the bowl clean.
Adding water and oil
Knead in the bowl with a flexible dough scraper, pressing and turning, about a minute until smooth; no bench flour needed.
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Spread 2 tablespoons olive oil in a dark pan; add the risen dough and press and stretch it toward the edges.
Olive oil in the pan
Cover and rest 30 minutes, then gently stretch it to fill the pan.
- cheese
- sauce
- Parmesan
Spread a generous layer of cheese all the way to the edge, then dollop the sauce, leaving pockets with no sauce; grate over a little Parmesan.
Run a knife around the edge and remove the pizza from the pan so it stays crisp; cool briefly.
Garnish after baking with more Parmesan, or chili flakes, basil, or nothing.
