Ingredients
PIZZA DOUGH:
- 1 ¼ cups water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cups bread flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
TOPPING:
- 1 cup Ragu red pasta sauce
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Put 1 ¼ cups of water, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of active dry yeast and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil into the Bosch mixer.
- Turn on the lowest setting #1, let it mix a little bit. Then, turn off and wait for 5 minutes.
- In the meanwhile, put 3 cups of bread flour and 1 teaspoon of salt into a bowl. Mix it well.
- After that, turn on the mixer at the lowest setting #1. Then, slowly add the flour mixture from step 3. Next, change the lowest setting #1 to medium/high #3. Let it run for 10 -15 minutes.
- After the dough is mixed well, transfer the dough into a bowl and cover it with a damp towel. Let the dough rise for about 45 minutes to an hour at room temperature. (My trick to speed up dough rising time, normally I preheat the oven at 200 F. Then, turn off the oven and put the dough in and cover with a wet cloth for 30 minutes.)
- Dust some flour on the surface, flatten, stretch or roll the dough into a circle shape, so it fits on the circle stone. You can shape into different shapes depending on your tray size and shape.
- Pour ½-1 cup red Ragù pasta sauce on the dough and spread it evenly.
- Sprinkle 1.5-2 cups mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce and dough.
- If you use a pizza stone, preheat the oven at 420 F with the pizza stone. When the oven temperature reaches 420 F, slide the pizza on the stone and bake it at 12-15 minutes until the cheese melts.
Notes
- To speed up dough rising time, normally I preheat the oven at 200F. Then, turn off the oven and put the dough covered with a wet cloth in for 30 minutes.
- Personally, I prefer to use bread flour because the texture is better and fluffier.
- Dust some flour on the surface and put the risen dough.
- You can divide the dough into two or make one big pizza.
- Or, you stretch and roll the dough into the shape you want.
- If you use a pizza stone, preheat the oven with the stone. Then, slide the pizza on the stone and bake it for 12-15 minutes at 420 F.
- Pour some red pasta sauce and spread on the dough. After, topping with mozzarella cheese or other cheese you want.
