Best 3 Andreas Pizza Recipes

THICK CRUST PIZZA CRUST

Steps:

• Combine the first 4 dry ingredients in a large bowl. I prefer to use the Kitchen Aid mixer.
• Combine water and oil, then add to the dry ingredients. I use my KitchenAid mixer to mix then use the dough hook to knead for about 5 minutes. You can mix by hand then knead on a lightly floured surface until the dough is smooth and elastic.
• Grease a bowl with olive oil and put ball of dough in it. Toss it around to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise 20 minutes. I use the same mixer bowl so I don't dirty another dish. In a rush, I sometimes skip this rise. The dough will still be good, just not as thick or pliable.
• Grease a 12" or 16" pizza pan and spread dough out with your hands on the pan. Don't use a rolling pin. Let rise for 15 more minutes.
• Top pizza with olive oil, Italian spices, garlic powder, salt. Then add your favorite pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, toppings and parmesan cheese.
• Bake at 450 degrees for 11-15 minutes.

ANDREA’S PIZZA

Steps:

• Mix the dough. Proof the yeast in ½ cup water. Pile the flour in a mound. Make a well in the center and pour in ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons water, the milk, olive oil, yeast, and salt. Slowly and gently fold the flour to mix in the wet ingredients. The dough should be soft and stick to your hands. If it is too dry, add a little water. Do not overwork the dough. Spread the dough in a jellyroll pan, cover with a dish towel, and set it aside to rise until it doubles, about 1 hour. Make the sauce while you are waiting for the dough to rise. In a sauté pan, cook the onions in the olive oil until golden. Add the anchovies, tomatoes, and salt to taste and cook for 20 to 25 minutes over medium heat. When the sauce has thickened, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool. Preheat the oven to 300F. Spread the sauce evenly over the dough, dot with garlic cloves at 1-to-2 inch intervals, and sprinkle with oregano and olives. Bake for 45 minutes or until the crust is cooked through.
