NEW YORK STYLE PIZZA



New York Style Pizza image

This is a no frills New York Pizza with heaps of mozzarella cheese and fresh basil. Use it as a base and add your favorite pizza toppings if you wish.

Provided by Freddie Loehr

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pizza Recipes

Time 1h25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 teaspoon active dry yeast
⅔ cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (10 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 pound shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated Romano cheese
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the yeast over the surface of the warm water in a large bowl. Let stand for 1 minute, then stir to dissolve. Mix in the flour, salt and olive oil. When the dough is too thick to stir, turn out onto a floured surface, and knead for 5 minutes. Knead in a little more flour if the dough is too sticky. Place into an oiled bowl, cover, and set aside in a warm place to rise until doubled in bulk.
  • Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). If using a pizza stone, preheat it in the oven as well, setting it on the lowest shelf.
  • When the dough has risen, flatten it out on a lightly floured surface. Roll or stretch out into a 12 inch circle, and place on a baking pan. If you are using a pizza stone, you may place it on a piece of parchment while preheating the stone in the oven.
  • Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough. Sprinkle with oregano, mozzarella cheese, basil, Romano cheese and red pepper flakes.
  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until the bottom of the crust is browned when you lift up the edge a little, and cheese is melted and bubbly. Cool for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your pizza sauce. Use ripe tomatoes, fresh herbs, and a good quality olive oil.
  • Don't overcook the sauce: Overcooked sauce will lose its flavor and become bland. Simmer it for just long enough to allow the flavors to meld together, about 30 minutes.
  • Use a variety of herbs and spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices to create a unique flavor profile for your sauce. Some popular options include basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
  • Let the sauce cool completely before using: This will allow the flavors to develop and mellow. You can make the sauce ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

With these tips in mind, you can easily make a delicious New York-style pizza sauce at home. Just remember to use fresh, high-quality ingredients, don't overcook the sauce, and let it cool completely before using. With a little practice, you'll be able to make a sauce that rivals the best pizzerias in New York City.
