Preparation
-
1.In a large bowl, combine the bread flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Mix well.
-
2.Gradually add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough forms.
-
3.Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
-
4.Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
-
5.Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).
-
6.Punch down the dough and divide it into two equal portions. Roll out each portion into a 12-inch (30cm) circle.
-
7.Transfer the dough circles to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
-
8.Spread half of the pizza sauce evenly over each dough circle, leaving a small border around the edges.
-
9.Sprinkle the mozzarella, provolone, and Parmesan cheeses over the sauce.
-
10.Add your desired toppings.
-
11.Bake the pizzas in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
-
12.Remove from the oven and let the pizzas cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Treat your ingredients with care...
- Bread flour — Using bread flour instead of all-purpose flour will give the crust a chewier texture.
- Pizza sauce — Opt for a high-quality pizza sauce or make your own by combining tomato sauce, garlic, oregano, and a pinch of sugar for sweetness.
- Cheese — For an authentic New York-style flavor, use a combination of mozzarella, provolone, and Parmesan cheeses.
Tips & Tricks
- For a crispier crust, preheat your baking sheet or pizza stone in the oven before placing the dough on it.
- Letting the dough rise for a longer period will result in a more flavorful crust.
- Experiment with different toppings to create your favorite flavor combinations.
- For a smoky flavor, try adding a sprinkle of dried oregano or red pepper flakes to the pizza before baking.
- Leftover pizza can be reheated in a skillet on the stovetop for a crispy crust.
Serving advice
Serve the New York-Style Pizza hot and fresh, straight from the oven. Cut it into large, foldable slices to embrace the true New York experience.
Presentation advice
