Time 27m

Yield 2 pizzas, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

16 1/2 ounces approx 3 . 9 cups bread flour, plus more for work surface
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon fast rising yeast
1 1/3 cups ice water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more for work surface
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 (28 ounce) can whole canned tomatoes, drained and liquid discarded
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 ounce parmesan cheese, finely grated
8 ounces whole milk mozzarella, shredded

Steps:

  • In food processor fitted with metal blade, process flour, sugar and yeast until combined, about 2 seconds. With machine running, slowly add water through feed tube; process until dough is just combined and no dry flour remains, about 10 seconds. Let dough stand for 10 minutes.
  • Add oil and salt to dough and process until dough forms a satiny, sticky ball that clears sides of workbowl, 30-60 seconds. Remove dough and knead briefly on lightly oiled countertop until smooth, about 1 minutes. Shape dough into tight ball and place in large lightly oiled bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 24 hours and up to 3 days.
  • Process tomatoes, oil, vinegar, garlic, salt, oregano and pepper in food processor until smooth, about 30 seconds. Transfer to medium bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • One hour before baking pizza, adjust rack in oven to second highest position, about 4-5 inches below broiler. Set pizza stone on rack and heat oven to 500 degrees. Remove dough from refrigerator and divide in half. Shape each half into smooth, tight ball. Place on lightly oiled baking sheet, spacing them at least 3" apart. Cover loosely with plastic wrap coated with non-stick spray; let stand for 1 hour.
  • Coat 1 ball of dough generously with flour and place on well floured countertop. Using fingers gently flatten into 8" disk, leaving 1" of outer edge slightly thicker than center. Using hands, gently stretch dough disk into 12" round, working along edges and giving disk quarter turns as you stretch. Transfer dough to a well floured peel and stretch into 13" round. Using back of spoon or ladle, spread 1/2 c tomato sauce in a thin layer over the surface of dough, leaving 1/4" border around edge. Sprinkle 1/4 c Parmesan evenly over sauce, followed by 1 c mozzarella. Slide pizza carefully onto stone and bake until crust is well browned and cheese is bubbly and beginning to brown, 10-12 minutes, rotating pizza halfway through. Remove pizza and place on wire rack for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Repeat this with second ball of dough.

I made a few tweaks to make this recipe even healthier. I used whole grain flour, low-fat cheese, and plenty of vegetables. It was a delicious and nutritious meal.

This recipe is perfect for meal prepping. I make a big batch of the dough and sauce on the weekend, and then I can assemble and bake individual pizzas throughout the week.

I'm so grateful for this gluten-free version of thin crust pizza. It's hard to find good gluten-free pizza, but this recipe delivered. The almond flour crust was surprisingly delicious.

As a self-proclaimed pizza connoisseur, I have to say this recipe is one of the best I've tried. The crust was thin and crispy with a slight chewiness, and the sauce had the perfect balance of sweetness and acidity.

This recipe was a lifesaver on a busy weeknight. I used store-bought pizza dough to save time, and it still turned out great. My kids loved it!

I added some red pepper flakes to the sauce and it gave the pizza a nice kick. Next time, I'll try experimenting with different toppings like roasted vegetables or grilled chicken.

I made a few modifications to lighten up the recipe, using whole wheat flour and low-fat mozzarella cheese. It was just as delicious as the original, and a healthier option, too.
