This is our August Recipe of the Month, Thin Crust Pizza ⬇️🍕
Pizza Dough-
3½ cups bread flour
2 teaspoons instant yeast
1½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon honey
1¼ cups warm water
2 tablespoons olive oil
Pizza Sauce-
1 cup San Marzano tomatoes, whole
4 cloves garlic, unpeeled and smashed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon finely chopped basil
1 tablespoon oregano
Toppings-
2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
¼ cup Italian blend shredded cheese
Pepperoni, to taste
Directions-
1, In a small bowl, combine the yeast and warm water and set aside.

2. Using a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, add the flour and salt, then mix briefly to combine.

3. Add the warm water and olive oil to the flour mixture. Mix on low speed until a rough dough forms.

4. Increase the speed to medium-low and knead the dough for about 5 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.

5. Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

6. Place a Pizza Pan in the oven and preheat to 500°F

7. To make the sauce, blend tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, tomato paste, sugar, salt, basil, and oregano, until smooth.

8. After the dough has risen, divide into thirds using a bench scraper or knife.

9. Shape the dough into balls, covering the two remaining dough balls with plastic wrap.

10. Begin stretching the dough by hand. Press your fingers into the center of the dough and lightly pull around the edges.

11. Continue to press and pull gently until the dough is approximately 8” in diameter.

12. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a large disc about ¼ to 1/8 inch, pressing all the bubbles out of the dough.

13. Sprinkle pizza peel with cornmeal or semolina flour, and place the dough on the peel.

14. Sauce the pizza, leaving a very thin crust around the edges.

15. Sprinkle evenly with mozzarella and add pepperoni to your liking.

16. Gently slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza pan and bake for 10-15 minutes.
17. Remove pizza from oven and repeat with remaining dough. If you aren’t making more pizza, freeze the dough and pizza sauce for your next pizza adventure.
