  • Total Time: 3 hours 30 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 cups bread flour
  • 1 & 1/3 cups warm water
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 packet rapid rise yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 28 oz can marinara sauce (dell'alpe recommended)
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1 lb mozzarella cheese (deli slices) do not use shredded cheese
  • 1 tbsp cornmeal
  • toppings of choice

Instructions

  1. Combine both flours and salt in a large bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, stir together warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  3. Add olive oil and yeast mixture to the flour. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Knead with a dough hook or by hand for 5 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Cover and let rise for 1.5 hours.
  6. Punch down the dough and let rise again for 1 hour.
  7. During the second rise, combine all sauce ingredients in a bowl. Let it sit at room temperature while the dough finishes rising.
  8. Preheat the oven to 500°F.
  9. Cut 5 or 6 pieces of deli-sliced mozzarella in half. Line the edge of a 12-inch cast iron pizza pan with the halved slices, pressing them upright against the sides of the pan. Sprinkle cornmeal across the bottom of the pan.
  10. Dump dough into the pan and press flat toward the edges. Do not press up the sides. Dimple the surface with your fingers. Cover loosely and rest for 25 to 30 minutes while the oven preheats.
  11. Press the dough flat one more time. Layer remaining mozzarella slices over the top of the dough, covering all exposed dough. Add any toppings over the cheese layer (except pepperoni which should go over the sauce). Then pour all of the sauce over the cheese layer and spread evenly (add pepperoni now if desired).
  12. Place the pizza on the middle rack. Lay a loose sheet of aluminum foil on the top rack above the pizza. Bake for 15 minutes.
  13. Remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes or until the cheese edge is caramelized and looks almost burnt, the top is bubbly, and the bottom crust is crispy.
  14. Let rest for at least 10 minutes before cutting. Transfer to a cutting board, slice, and serve.
