Serving Size: 1- 12 inch pizza
Featured Bakeware:
Ingredients
3 1/2-4 cup bread flour
2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 package of instant dry yeast (or 2 1/2 teaspoon)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup lukewarm water
2 tablespoon olive oil
Recipe Instructions
Combine the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer. Add in the water and olive oil until dough forms a ball. You can mix this by hand or in the stand mixer. If dough is too wet, you can add additional flour, but start with the 3 1/2 cup and increase if necessary. Scrape dough out onto a floured surface and knead into an elastic, smooth ball. Place dough in a bowl coated with olive oil and turn to coat. Cover bowl and let dough rise for about an hour. Then, divide the dough into 2 pieces and again cover and let rest for about 10 minutes. Preheat your oven to its highest setting. Stretch one of the balls of pizza dough to fit your USA Pan pizza pan. Top with sauce of your choice and a drizzle of olive oil. Add your cheese (we used 3 oz of fresh mozzarella). After baking, we've added fresh, torn basil. However, feel free to add toppings or cheese of your choice. Bake for 4-8 minutes until crispy and cheese has melted. Let cool for a few minutes. Enjoy!! You will also have an extra pizza dough to use immediately, or store in your refrigerator. If you place in refrigerator, pull it out 30-45 minutes prior to using for your next pizza!
