CLASSIC PIZZA

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 cup warm water (100 degrees F to 110 degrees F)
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the bowl
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, grated
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 3/4 cups tomato puree (preferably San Marzano)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano Kosher salt
1 8-ounce bag shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese (about 2 cups)

Steps:

  • Make the dough: Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and pour in the warm water. Sprinkle the sugar and yeast over the water and let stand until bubbling, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour the olive oil into the well, then stir with a wooden spoon to make a shaggy dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 1 minute. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, tightly cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
  • One hour before baking, put a pizza stone or large inverted baking sheet on the lowest oven rack and preheat to 500 degrees F. Make the sauce: Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 1 minute. Add the tomato puree and 2 cups water. Stir in the oregano and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 20 minutes. (The sauce will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 2 months.)
  • Divide the pizza dough into 2 balls. On a lightly floured surface, stretch 1 ball of dough into a 12- to 14-inch round. Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper, then slide the parchment with the dough onto a pizza peel or inverted baking sheet.
  • Spread about 1/2 cup of the sauce on the crust in a thin layer, then scatter 1 cup mozzarella on top. Slide the pizza (on the parchment) onto the hot stone. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool 1 to 2 minutes before slicing. Repeat to make the second pizza.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the pizza will be. Use fresh, flavorful tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and your favorite toppings.
  • Make your own dough: It's not as hard as you think and it makes a big difference in the final product. There are many different pizza dough recipes available online, so find one that you like and give it a try.
  • Don't overcrowd the pizza: Too many toppings will make the pizza soggy. Stick to a few of your favorite toppings and make sure they're evenly distributed.
  • Bake the pizza at a high temperature: This will help the crust get crispy and the cheese to melt perfectly. The ideal temperature for baking pizza is around 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving: This will help the cheese set and prevent the toppings from sliding off.

Conclusion:

Making homemade personal pizza is a fun and rewarding experience. With a little practice, you'll be able to make delicious pizzas that rival your favorite pizzeria. So get creative and experiment with different toppings and flavors. The possibilities are endless!
