Ingredients
Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine the flour and the yeast.
- Add the water and mix by hand for 3 to 4 minutes to combine well. Let rest for 5 minutes.
- Add the salt and oil to the dough and mix well.
- Once well combined, transfer the dough to a floured work surface and knead for 5 to 7 minutes. The dough should be smooth, and it should not stick to the surface (add a bit of flour if needed).
- Transfer to an oiled bowl and cover with a clean, damp dishcloth. Let the dough rise for 1½ hours, preferably in a warm part of the kitchen.
- Preheat the oven to 450 °F and lightly oil a 13 x 18-inch sheet pan.
- Transfer the dough to the prepared sheet pan and spread out until about ½ inch thick. If the dough resists, let it rest for 20 minutes more and work it again.
- With your fingers, dimple the dough to create depressions, making sure to stretch across the pan. Let rest an additional 10 to 15 minutes before adding the toppings.
- Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for about 30 – 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden. Buon appetito!
