CHEESE PIZZA RECIPE

Cheese Pizza

 

Ingredients for one large cheese pizza:

3 cups all-purpose flour,
1 portion dry yeast,
1 cup warm water,
1 teaspoon salt,
1 teaspoon sugar,
1/2 cup whole wheat flour for rolling the dough,
oil for greasing the pizza pan.
Toppings:
Italian tomato sauce, as needed,
grated mozzarella and
provolone cheese mix,
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.

Recipe:

1. Mix together the yeast and warm water and let it sit for 10 minutes.

2. Place the 3 cups of flour, salt and sugar in a mixing bowl (or food processor, if you are using), and knead until you have smooth dough.

3. Cover the dough with cling wrap and leave it in a warm place for 3-4 hours to proof. The longer it proofs the better.

4. Shape the dough in a ball and roll it with a rolling pin over the whole wheat flour.

5. Grease lightly the pizza pan and place the rolled pizza over it, apply the toppings and bake in a preheated oven at 350 F until ready.

If the bottom is taking longer to cook, remove the pizza pan from under the cheese pizza and finish cooking the pizza straight on the racks.
