Preparation
1. Bloom the yeast by sprinkling the sugar and yeast in the warm water. Let
it sit for 10 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface.
2. In the bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the middle and
add the olive oil and bloomed yeast mixture. Using a spoon, mix until a
shaggy dough begins to form.
3. Once the flour is mostly hydrated, turn the dough out onto a clean work
surface and knead for 10-15 minutes. The dough should be soft, smooth,
and bouncy. Form the dough into a taut round.
4. Grease a clean, large bowl with olive oil and place the dough inside,
turning to coat with the oil. Cover with plastic wrap. Let it rise for at least
an hour, or up to 24 hours.
5. Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured work
surface. Knead for another minute or so, then cut into 4 equal portions
and shape into rounds.
6. Lightly flour the dough, then cover with a kitchen towel and let rest for
another 30 minutes to an hour while you prepare the sauce and any
other ingredients.
7. Preheat the oven as high as your oven will allow, between 450-500oF
(230-260oC). place a pizza stone, heavy baking sheet (turn upside down
so the surface is flat), or cast iron skillet in the oven.
8. Meanwhile, make the tomato sauce. Add the salt to the can of tomatoes
and puree with an immersion blender, or transfer to a blender or food
processor, and puree until smooth.
9. Once the dough has rested, take a portion and start by poking the
surface with your fingertips, until bubbles form and do not deflate.
10. Then, stretch and press the dough into a thin round. Make it thinner
than you think it should be, as it will slightly shrink and puff up during
baking.
11. Sprinkle semolina onto an upside down baking sheet and place the
stretched crust onto it. Add the sauce and ingredients of your choice.
12. Slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or pan. Bake for 15
minutes, or until the crust and cheese are golden brown.
13. Add any garnish of your preference.
14. You can now enjoy your PIZZA.
