Ingredients
-
dough
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 tablespoon instant yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
3 1/2 cups flour
2 tablespoons oil
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup tomato sauce (i use no-name mushroom flavor, use whatever you like)
3 cups pre-shredded mozzarella cheese (use low fat if you prefer)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese (the powdery kraft type)
Preparation
-
mix water, yeast, and sugar. let stand for a few min till it's all bubbly.
add salt, oil, and 3 cups of the flour, stir until a soft dough forms.
kneed for a few min, adding extra flour until it's just barely not sticky anymore. let rise in a warm place for 30 min or so until it's doubled in size.
divide into 8 balls and flatten out into 4-5 inch disks on cookie sheets lined in parchment paper. preheat the oven to 425f.
top with a Tbs or two of sauce, then mozza, then parmesan.
bake for 10 min or so, stop before they're golden if you want more authentic taste since this leaves the crust a little gummy and doesn't toast the cheese. let stand for 5-10 min before serving now or let cool completely before wrapping with a bit of foil or plastic wrap between them and freezing. you could also bake just the crusts and add the toppings raw before freezing.
