The Best Homemade Pizza
Servings: 4 pizzas
Equipment
- Baking sheets
Ingredients
- 4 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 packet 2 1/4 tsp rapid rise yeast
- 2 cups lukewarm water
- 1 bottle Delallo pizza sauce
- 8 oz mexican blend cheese
- 8 oz Italian blend cheese
- 1 container fresh mozzarella balls
Instructions
- Mix together the all purpose flour, salt, and yeast in a large bowl.
- Add in the water and mix until combined.
- Drizzle 1-2 tbsp oil over the top of the dough and spread across the top.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean towel and set aside to rise for 3-4 hours.
- When you're ready to make your pizza, preheat your oven to 450°F.
- Add a few tbsp of high heat oil (like avocado oil) to your baking sheet and spread across the surface.
- Divide your dough into quarters and add one section to your baking sheet.
- Use your hands to spread the dough into a 12-14 inch circle/oval. You will need to let the dough rest in between spreading it to avoid it constantly springing back on you.
- Add 1/3 cup of sauce (or more/less to your taste) over the surface of the crust and top with a heaping 1/3 cup Mexican blend cheese, 1/3 cup Italian blend cheese, and some freshly torn mozzarella.
- Bake for 10 minutes and then broil for one minute to give the cheese a crispier finish.
Notes
If you would like to prep the dough the night before, you can! Just mix everything together as instructed and place the bowl in the fridge to rise overnight. Allow it to come to room temperature for 1-2 hours before you will be using it.
