I still think that the best pizza is the one you make yourself, and the simpler the better.

 

Here is my recipe for a truly great pizza.

 

If you can make this then do so. You will not be disapointed!

 

Crust:1 pkg(2.5tsp) active dry yeast

1 cup warm water(110deg f)

1/2 tsp salt

pinch of sugar

2 tbsp good olive oil

2 1/2-3 1/2 cups of all purpose flour

 

Mix water, sugar, and yeast, in large bowl. let sit for 5 minutes

mix all dry ingredients and add to liquid mix, add oil

mix well

turn out onto floured counter or board and knead until you have a soft pliable dough(should feel like a nice ladies ass!)

coat dough ball w oil and rest covered for 15 minutes

 

Rolls out to 2 12" thin crust doughs.

 

Sauce

12oz can diced tomatoes

2oz fresh basil leaves-chiffonade(that means thin strips to you nonfoodies)

1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper

pinch of salt

pinch of sugar

1 tb of good olive oil

1-100 cloves of garlic-smash and chop fine-All depends if you like garlic

 

Topping

Fresh Mozzarella Cheese- thinly sliced-about 8oz for a pie

Parmiagiano Reggiano-Shaved- about 2oz

 

I'm a purist. I like my pie simple, thin crusted, crispy, and I like tasting each component so that I have layers of flavor.

 

If you like. You can top this pie with some toppings but go sparingly!

 

Bake your pie in a 475 degreee oven and keep an eye on it.

 

I use a pizza stone in my oven. You can use a pan but if you do you may want to prebake your crust to ensure that its crispy.

 

Mangia! and Buon Appetitio!

awesome receipe! bravo, my friend. bravo.

like you, i prefer my pizza to be as simple as possible. i love margherita pizza--good, ripe tomatoes and fresh basil.

and i like substituting romano for the parmiagiano.

 

thanks for the recipe!
