Craving pizza tonight? Whip up a classic cheese pizza right from Ree's restaurant, P-Town Pizza!

Categories     comfort food     dinner     lunch     main dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 c. pizza sauce
8 oz. provolone cheese, thinly sliced
2 c. shredded low-moisture whole-milk mozzarella cheese
6 tbsp. grated parmesan cheese
Ree's Homemade Pizza Dough

Steps:

  • After you've made the dough, divide it in half and let come to room temperature, uncovered, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, place a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet on the oven floor and preheat to 500˚.
  • On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out 1 piece of dough into a 12-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Dust a pizza peel or another inverted baking sheet with cornmeal and lay the dough on top.
  • Spread half of the sauce on the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edge. Top with half of the provolone, then with half each of the mozzarella and parmesan.
  • Slide the pizza onto the hot stone or baking sheet and bake until the crust is browned and the cheese is melted, 10 to 12 minutes. Repeat with the remaining dough and toppings. Makes 2 12-inch pizzas.

BASIC CHEESE PIZZA



Basic Cheese Pizza image

I LOVE New York pizza, moving to kc 6 years ago - I had a rude awakening! The pizza was TERRIBLE! - so I've been making this ever since... it's my own recipe, but I've made it so many times I can do it with my eyes closed. This recipe is foolproof, and I hope you enjoy it Note: you may want to add more cheese and sauce. Also, this is just the base - I add turkey Italian sausage and mushrooms, and sliced zucchini and prosciutto to keep it tasty and healthy!

Time 1h13m

Yield 1 pizza, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 ounce dry yeast
1 cup water, lukewarm
1 teaspoon sugar
3 cups bread flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup tomato puree
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Dough:.
  • In a glass or plastic bowl, combine yeast, water, and sugar (the water can just be water from the tap, make sure it's below 100°F).
  • Stir to dissolve the yeast and let the yeast "bloom" for 15 minutes.
  • Stir in 1 cup flour, add salt, and then stir in another cup of flour (the remaining cup of flour will be your "bench" flour and added flour).
  • Dump mixture onto kneading board and work in last cup of flour, kneading until dough is soft and elastic, but not sticky. Form dough into a ball.
  • In another bowl, pour in the 1 tbsp olive oil and spread around.
  • Coat ball of dough with oil and cover bowl with a damp towel and let dough rise for 40 minutes.
  • Punch down dough and knead on board about 2 minutes. Dough is now ready to spread in the pan.
  • To avoid sticking of crust, lightly spray pizza pan with olive oil or vegetable oil spray and then work dough to pan (or use free form pan) - this dough is enough for 1 14-in pizza with a thin bottom crust and enough dough around the edge to munch.
  • Sauce:.
  • Combine pureed tomatoes, tomato paste, minced garlic, and basil.
  • Spread onto prepared pizza dough.
  • Top with sliced mozzarella cheese and bake at 500°F for 11-13 minutes.
