The parcel that had arrived today, contained an old key and a list of instructions (cooking reasons) to use it
Nothing beats a fresh-out-of-the-oven pizza, and once you see how easy it is to make for yourself, you'll never order delivery again. Switch up the toppings and add your favorites to make it your own. Pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers, pineapple? You can have it all! We can't get enough of Bacon Pickle Pizza, personally.
If you love stories about families that stick together, and love each other through thick and thin, and it all ends happily ever after but through a world of cooking this is the book for you. Who am I? You sure you want to know?
I’m the narrator, by the way. And a chef. Get over it, yeah? Though my previous life as far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster.
OK let's get back on our Pizza, just remember this,Your pizza should cook at the very high temp of 500°. In a more realistic, at-home way. Because the dough is so thin, you really just want to crisp up the outside and keep it soft and chewy on the inside, versus baking it all the way through until it's cracker crisp. High temp is perfect for this. If your oven goes higher, feel free to crank the heat, just keep an eye on it!
Leave it aside, let's get into a real business now I got some recommended ingredients to mix on your bowl:
FOR THE DOUGH
Cooking spray
1 1/4 c. lukewarm water
1 tbsp. granulated sugar
1 (1/4-oz.) packet active dry yeast (2¼ tsp.)
3 c. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 c. extra-virgin olive oil
FOR THE PIZZA
Extra-virgin olive oil, as needed
1/4 c. cornmeal, divided
1 c. marinara, divided
16 oz. fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced, divided
Fresh basil leaves
Pinch red pepper flakes
The after having above ingredients, follow the following steps to make a tasteful home made pizza of your life, you'll never order delivery again.
1. Grease a large bowl with cooking spray. In a small bowl add water and sugar and stir to dissolve, then sprinkle over yeast and let sit until frothy, about 8 minutes.
2. In another large bowl, add flour, salt, and oil. Pour in yeast mixture, then mix with a wooden spoon until everything is combined and a shaggy dough begins to form. Knead against sides of bowl until dough starts to come together, then turn onto your work surface and knead, adding a pinch of flour if needed, until it feels elastic and only slightly tacky, 5 minutes. Form into a tight ball, place into prepared bowl, and cover with a clean dish towel. Let rise in a warm spot in your kitchen until doubled in size, about 1 hour and 30 minutes.
3. Gently punch down dough, then divide in 2, and roll into balls. At this point, you can freeze one, or make two pizzas. Let dough balls rest as you preheat oven to 500° and grease a large baking sheet with olive oil. Sprinkle all over with 2 tablespoons cornmeal.
4. On your work surface, gently flatten one ball of dough and roll with a rolling pin (or stretch with your hands) until about 12” in diameter (as thin as you can). Carefully transfer to prepared baking sheet and brush dough all over with oil. Then, add your 1/2 cup sauce to middle of dough and spread outwards with a spoon or ladle, leaving about 1” for the crust. Top with half the slices of mozzarella. Bake until crust is golden and cheese is melty, about 15 minutes.
5. Top with fresh basil leaves, a drizzle of olive oil, and red pepper flakes.. Repeat with remaining dough and toppings for second pizza
