1.5 cups bread flour (≈ 180g)
2/3 cup water (≈ 160ml)
1/2 tsp yeast (≈ 1.5g)
bit of salt
olive oil
You'll need to add flour as you knead it, it will be a bit sticky, just sprinkle flour and knead until it gets to be not sticky over the 5 minutes you knead it
Let it rise until 2x the size
Put a bunch of olive oil and butter in the bottom of a cast-iron pan, like too much. Stretch the dough until it fits in the bottom of a cast iron pan edge to edge
Preheat oven to 525(F), or as hot as it will go
Shred some low moisture mozzarella onto the dough, just a light layer, put extra on the edges.
Open a 16oz can of San Marzano tomatoes, crush them / blend them to the desired consistency, add some olive oil and a bit of basil if you want
Spread on tomato sauce over the first layer of cheese, then add whatever toppings you want over that. bacon pepperoni, peppers, and of course more cheese, I put extra cheese on the edge to make sure you get the crunchy bits when it bakes
Bake on the bottom rack for 15 minutes.
I did this recipe like once week, though I don't eat so much bread now. Reminds me of pizza hut back in the 90's when it was still good.
