Techniques
  • bread flour
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 envelope instant dry yeast
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
Combine the bread flour, sugar, instant yeast and kosher salt in a mixing bowl.
  • 1½ cup lukewarm water
  • 2 tbsp oil
Add the lukewarm water and oil and beat until the dough forms a ball. Knead gently into a smooth, firm ball.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and leave in a warm place about 1 hour, until doubled.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, divide into two equal pieces, cover with a towel and rest 10 minutes.
Stretch each piece to 12 to 14 inches.

  • basil
  • mozzarella
  • olive oil
Spread tomato sauce evenly with a spoon, leaving a 1-inch rim. Add basil and cheese evenly and drizzle with olive oil.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes, until brown and bubbly.
