|
| 1 | Preheat the oven to 425 degrees (if planning a Thick Crust Pizza, place the
stone or tile in the oven to heat). Dissolve the yeast in the warm (105
degrees-115 degrees) water. Wait until the mixture foams (about 5 minutes). |
| 2 | Combine the flour and yeast in a bowl. Add the yeast mixture. Add the olive
oil. Add the parmesan. Mix thoroughly. Turn the dough out onto a well
floured board. Knead until smooth (about 10 minutes). |
| 3 | Place the dough in a
greased bowl and let rise until doubled (about 1 hour). |
| 4 | Punch the dough
down and roll out on a well floured board. Roll to 3/4" thickness for Thick
Crust Pizza or 2" thickness for a Pan Pizza. Brush the dough generously
with olive oil. |
| 5 | THICK CRUST: Lightly oil a (14") pizza pan. Sprinkle some cornmeal onto the
pan. Form the dough into a pie using the pan. Place the sauce(s) and
topping(s) on the dough, leaving the outer 1/2" bare. Remove the pie from
the pizza pan. Use a paddle to place the dough on the stone. |
