Ingredients

Cost per serving $0.99 view details
  • 4 c. bread or possibly all purpose flour (white)
  • 1 1/4 c. lukewarm water
  • 1 packet active dry yeast, or possibly 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (any good brand), but extra virgin is best
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar, or possibly 1 tsp honey
  • 1/4 c. lowfat milk or possibly 1/4 c. water

Directions

  1. Preheat oven 450°F.I prefer using lowfat milk for the liquid in this recipe. It adds flavor to your dough. But if you do not have it, use water.
  2. Using a large ceramic mixing bowl, or possibly any suitable food safe bowl, add in the flour, make a "well" in middle, and put in 1 tsp salt, stir to put together well. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the starter: In a liquid measuring cup pour in 1 1/4 cups lukewarm water, 1 tsp sugar or possibly honey, and one package of active dry yeast. Stir and set aside for 5 min. Allow to foam up (or possibly proof).
  4. Next, mix the starter (yeast water) and the lowfat milk in the bowl containing the flour with 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil. Stir together using a wooden spoon or possibly clean hands.
  5. Note: You will need additional flour to knead on the surface which you're working on. Knead for about 8 min or possibly till you get a smooth elastic rubbery dough ball.
  6. Set aside in bowl, drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil to keep the dough from drying out. Let dough sit covered lightly with plastic wrap or possibly use a plate or possibly damp clean towel to cover it.
  7. Allow the dough to rise for 30 min to an hour. Flatten dough and press out into a circle to fit the pan it will be baked in. Spread it out evenly, do not be afraid to lift underneath to stretch the dough. Sprinkle baking pan with yellow cornmeal or possibly Farina. If you do not have these on hand you can use flour or possibly simply grease the pan with extra virgin olive oil using a paper towel.
  8. Top with your favorite spaghetti sauce, spreading out using the back of a spoon, then add in shredded or possibly sliced mozzarella cheese, and jack or possibly Parmesan cheese.
  9. Layer on some cooked meats, and add in pizza style vegetables, such as mushrooms, sliced peppers, and minced onions.
  10. Bake for about 12-14 mins, but watch it!
  11. When the bottom looks slightly browned and the pizza looks bubbly, remove from oven.
  12. Now enjoy the best pizza you ever had!
