PIZZA! Making pizza at home sounds like too much work, too many ingredients, and too much thinking that you can just go out and buy a store-bought pizza. However, this mentality is set aside when you find an easy-to-follow recipe. I've been reading a lot of the cooking section of New York Times- it has some really good recipes from reputable restaurants. Doing some more research, I found a recipe from Roberta's pizza in Brooklyn, New York: http://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1016230-robertas-pizza-dough. The crust came out thin and crispy, just like New York style, and this pizza recipe was sure something to write about.
Ingredients:
306 grams high gluten flour
8 grams fine sea salt
2 grams active dry yeast
4 grams extra-virgin olive oil
Toppings
How to Make:
1. In an electric mixer bowl, combine flour, salt, and yeast. Add 200 grams of lukewarm water. Add the olive oil. Knead until well combined.
2. Let dough rest for 3 hours.
3. Shape dough into a ball and roll out the dough on a floured surface. Stretch out dough and shape it into a circle.
4. Add toppings. (I put thinly sliced soaked potatoes, pizza sauce, mozarella cheese, organic tomatoes, organic basil, and white onions.)
5. Heat up pan (without the pizza first) in a 450 degree temperature oven.
6. Then, carefully take out the pan and place the pizza in the pan.
7. Bake for 11 minutes.
8. Take out and enjoy!
