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.
