Ingredients:
3 3/4 cups bread flour, plus some for rolling
1 teaspoon sugar
1 Tablespoon dry yeast
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 cups water, slightly warmer than room temp
2 Tablespoons olive oil
Instructions:
Preheat Oven to 400 degrees
1) Combine all dry ingredients in a stand mixer with the dough hook, mix til combined
2) Slowly add water and olive oil then let mix for about 1 minute, if it looks a little dry add some more warm water if a little wet add some more flour. You’ll want the dough to be about the same texture as your earlobe.
3) Put in a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap, let sit for about an hour or until double in size.
4) Cut in half (or as many times as you like if you want to make mini pizzas) and roll out to desired thickness, top with whatever you like like sauce/cheese/meats/veggies whatever you like.
If using a pizza stone place in oven til hot then slide your pizza on top of some semolina. You can also use a lightly greased sheet pan (which I did).
5) Cook until stiff throughout, depending on your thickness it could take 8-12 minutes, just keep an eye on it.
Tips: If you just bake it then it won’t get a lot of coloring like the picture, I like to turn the broiler on high then let the crusts brown a bit.
You can add different flavors to your crust during the dry stage, favorites for me are garlic powder and dried parsley.
