  Dennis Hackethal criticized idea #1506.

Ingredients

  • Store-bought dough (1 pound)
  • Crushed tomatoes (120g)
  • Mozzarella (part skim, 77g)

Then, for garnish:

  • Oregano
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • A dash of salt

Steps

  1. Preheat pizza steel for 45 min on middle rack with broiler on (was somewhere between 450 and 500°F).
  2. Rest dough at room temperature for 20 min (per instructions on the label).
  3. Stretch the dough.
  4. Dust the pizza peel with flour and place pizza on peel.
  5. Add tomato sauce.
  6. Add cheese.
  7. Put pizza in oven (on pizza steel).
  8. Bake for about 10 minutes.

The main challenge with baking pizza at home is that home ovens don’t get hot enough for the dough to bake properly. The pizza steel is supposed to help with that.

The center dough was paper thin while the crust was a too thick.
