Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups bread flour
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 packet of instant dry yeast (9/4 teaspoon)
- 1½ teaspoon table salt
- 3/4 cups of pizza sauce
- 3/4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (divided)
- Other toppings (optional)
Recipe
- Add 1 cup of flour, salt, and yeast to a stand mixer bowl and whisk to combine.
- Add water and oil to the flour mix.
- Blend at low speed until moistened using the paddle attachment. Mix for 3 more minutes at medium speed.
- To make a soft dough, switch to the dough hook and continue mixing on low-medium speed.
- Gradually add in the remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead it for a few more minutes until the dough is soft and elastic.
- Shape the dough into a ball, then let it rest for 15 minutes, covering it with a cloth.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Divide the dough into 2 equal parts. With floured and greased fingers, press each half into a 12-inch pizza pan.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese on the pizza base and spread the pizza sauce evenly on top of the cheese.
- Add your favourite toppings and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the entire pizza.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the edges are crisp and golden brown.
