Ingredients

PIZZA DOUGH
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¾ cup + 1 ½ tablespoons water (198 grams total)
CAPRESE TOPPING
  • 3 medium firm ripe tomatoes (thinly sliced)
  • 1 small fresh mozzarella (thinly sliced)
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ - 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • 5-6 leaves large fresh basil chopped

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pre-heat oven to 425F (220C). Lightly grease or line with parchment paper a medium (12-13 inch/32cm) pizza pan or baking sheet.
  2. FOR THE PIZZA DOUGH
  3. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt, make a well in the middle and add the oil and ½ cup (120 grams) of water to start, stir together with a fork then add the remaining water. 
  4. Move to a lightly floured flat surface, knead for approximately 2 or 3 minutes and form into a smooth dough ball,  cover with a bowl and let sit for 15 minutes.   
  5. Place dough on the prepared pizza pan or baking sheet and with fingers form into desired shape (circle, oval or square) to cover or almost cover the bottom of the pan. Bake for approximately  13-15 minutes or until golden.
  6. FOR THE CAPRESE TOPPING  (Topping can be placed on the pizza while warm or let cool completely)
  7. In a small bowl whisk together olive oil, balsamic, salt, oregano, chopped fresh basil leaves.
  8. Place thinly sliced tomatoes on top of the baked dough, then top with thinly sliced mozzarella and drizzle with olive oil mixture.  Serve immediately.

Notes

  • I usually make this no yeast dough by hand but it certainly can be made in a mixer with the dough hook attachment. Just be sure to knead just until combined, then move to a flat surface and form into ball.
  • If you prefer you can make a traditional pizza and top the raw dough with a simple tomato sauce or pizza sauce or what we prefer are about 10-15  grape or cherry tomatoes sliced in half then tossed with 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil, a sprinkle of salt, fresh basil and a sprinkle of oregano and a clove or two of minced garlic.
  • If you bake the dough with sauce, don’t forget to add some vegetables such as sliced green or red pepper, mushrooms, sliced red onion or even some sliced pepperoni, and don’t forget some shredded firm mozzarella.
  • Any leftovers should be stored either in an airtight container or wrapped well in plastic wrap and stored in the fridge. It can be re-heated in the oven or microwave.
  • To freeze the raw dough, after it has rested, wrap it well in plastic wrap then place in either a freezer bag or container. It will keep for up to 3 months in the freezer.
