METHOD
Making the Dough
- Activate the yeast by combining yeast, sugar and tepid water for 5-10 minutes in a bowl.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment, combine the activated yeast mixture with the bread flour and EVOO.
- Mix for 5 minutes until the dough comes together. Turn dough out onto a nonstick surface and immediately cut dough into portions.
- Cover and allow the portioned dough to proof at room temperature for at least an hour.
Assembling the Pizza
- Preheat your oven to 500'F.
- Take proofed dough and roll into desired pizza shape.
- Place rolled out dough on a parchment lined sheet pan.
- Sprinkle your seasonal ingredients over the top of the crust (we suggest sauces first, toppings second, herbs and leaves after the pizza comes out of the oven).
- Drizzle crust with EVOO and lightly season the pizza with salt.
Baking the Pizza
- Bake pizza at 500'F until golden brown and toppings are just crisped.
