A thick, pillowy crust topped with rich crushed tomatoes and gooey cheese, capturing the essence of classic New York-style pizza.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups bread flour
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar and yeast in warm water. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the bread flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the Dough: Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
  4. Let it Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
  5. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
  6. Shape the Dough: Grease a baking sheet or pizza pan. Punch down the risen dough and spread it out into the pan.
  7. Add the Toppings: Spread the crushed tomatoes over the dough, sprinkle with oregano and garlic powder, and layer with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  8. Bake the Pizza: Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
  9. Cool and Serve: Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

For a delicious pair, serve with a simple salad and a light red wine.
