Activity

Ingredients

• Store-bought dough (1 pound)
• Crushed tomatoes (100g)
• Mozzarella (whole milk, shredded, 150g)

Then, for garnish:

• Oregano
• Fresh basil leaves
• 3-4 dashes of salt

Steps

1. Preheat oven for 1 hour. Ends up somewhere between 450 and 500°F.
2. Preheat pizza steel for 1 hour on gas range (biggest burner). Reached about 565°F in the center.
3. Rest dough at room temperature for about 50 min.
4. Stretch the dough.
5. Add tomato sauce.
6. Add cheese.
7. Dust the pizza peel with flour and place pizza on peel.
8. Place pizza on steel and put in oven.
9. Bake for about 5 minutes.
10. Move to bottom rack, bake for 3 more 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.
