home made pizza dough

To make the dough;

• 1 1/4 cups lukewarm water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 3/4 cups Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
• 1/2 cup semolina flour.
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons instant yeast

Oil a 14″pizza pan 

Directions:

Stir the crust ingredients together to form a slightly sticky, soft dough.

Let the dough rise, covered, for 30 minutes.

A little trick, I learned to get an evenly thick pizza, is to let it rise, a second time, in the pizza pan before adding any toppings.

Place the dough in the oiled pan and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes, then pat and stretch it to cover the bottom of the pan. Let it rest, covered, for another 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Add the topping, plum tomatoes,mozzarella cheese,or use pizza sauce,add any topping you like

Bake the pizza for about 25 – 30 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
