JOE’S NEW YORK PIZZA REVEALS SECRET TO GREAT

Steps:

• Steps to Prepare the dough Step 1: Combine flour, honey, yeast, and salt in the bowl of the food processor and mix to combine. Step 2: Continue to add water and Olive Oil to the dough until it forms a ball. Add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, if the dough feels too sticky. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if it feels too dry. Step 3: Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for roughly about 5 minutes until it is smooth, elastic ball. Step 4: Grease a bowl with 2 teaspoons of olive oil and place the smooth ball of dough into the bowl. Cover it with plastic wrap and set the bowl aside until the dough doubles in size, which usually takes about an hour. Step 5: Take the dough and cut it in half and knead each half and then shape into a ball again. On a lightly floured surface, place the two balls and cover loosely with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Allow the dough to rest for an hour at room temperature or in the fridge for up to 24 hours. If you let it rest in the refrigerator, be sure to let the dough come to room temperature before continuing on. Step 6: Take a rolling pin to roll out the dough and use your hands to stretch each ball into a circle 12-14 inches in diameter. If the dough becomes too elastic, put it in the refrigerator again for 10 minutes to relax before moving on. Step 7: Place the rack as low as possible in the oven and preheat it to 500 degrees. Oil the 14-16 inch pizza pan or baking sheet lightly and lay uncooked crust on top. Roll the edges if you want to form a rim. Steps to prepare the sauce and pizza Step 8: Heat 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil over medium heat in a 10-inch skillet, add the minced garlic, stir and cook for about 1 minute. Step 9: Add 1½ cups canned whole peeled tomatoes, be sure to crush them as they go into the pan then add ¼ cup torn basil leaves in. Step 10: Bring sauce to a boil and be sure to stir frequently for about 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Steps:

• Combine the bread flour, sugar, yeast and kosher salt in the bowl of a stand mixer and combine. While the mixer is running, add the water and 2 tablespoons of the oil and beat until the dough forms into a ball. If the dough is sticky, add additional flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together in a solid ball. If the dough is too dry, add additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead into a smooth, firm ball.
• Grease a large bowl with the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil, add the dough, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put it in a warm area to let it double in size, about 1 hour. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 2 equal pieces. Cover each with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let them rest for 10 minutes.
