A perfect pizza to enjoy with friends and some adult beverages. This is the pizza you didn’t know you needed! Wait until you taste the burnt cheese edges! Feel free to add the toppings of your choice, but go lightly…this is a very thin pizza.

For an even better pizza, drizzle hot oil on it before serving. (simply simmer red pepper flakes in olive oil for 2-3 minutes, then strain.)

**Baking times may vary, so begin checking at about the 10 minute mark**

Ingredients

  • 230 grams AP Flour

  • 117 grams Water

  • 2 tbsp Olive oil (plus enough to coat pan)

  • 3/4 tbsp Sugar

  • 3/4 tbsp Salt

  • 3.45 grams Instant Dry Yeast (1/2 standard size packet)

  • Sauce

  • 28 oz Crushed tomatoes

  • 14 oz Tomato puree

  • 1 pinch Salt

  • Toppings

  • 8-12 oz Shredded mozzarella (more or less to taste)

  • 4-6 oz Shredded white cheddar cheese

Directions

  • Add flour, salt, sugar and yeast to food processor and pulse for 10 seconds.
  • Add water and oil to dry mixture and mix for 20-30 seconds until dough forms a rough ball.
  • Place in well oiled bowl, cover and let rise for 3-4 hours at room temperature.
  • Divide dough into 2 equal size portions (roughly 184 grams).
  • Place dough ball in well oiled 10 inch cake pan (highly recommend Lloydpans pre-seasoned pans).
  • Slowly and gently press dough toward edges of pan. When dough won’t spread any further without rebounding, cover and let rest for 10 minutes, then try again.
  • Once dough is spread to the edges of the pan, use a fork or a dough docker to poke several holes in dough.
  • Top with sauce and blend of mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Ensure you spread sauce and cheese all the way to the edge of the pan.
  • Place pan in preheated 500 degree oven for 10-12 minutes. You will get a crisper bottom if you place the pan on a stone or steel.
  • Carefully remove from oven and run knife along edge to loosen the pizza from the pan.
  • For a really crisp crust, remove from the pan and place back in the oven on a preheated stone or steel for a few minutes.
  • Sauce
  • Add all ingredients together and whisk until mixed well.
