Pizza Toppings
½-1teaspoonItalian seasoning
⅔cupjarred marinara
2 cupslow-moisture shredded mozzarella
½cupgrated parmesan cheese
1cupcooked ground beef and/or sausage crumbles
other optional toppings
Instructions
The Pizza Dough
Add the flour, salt, and yeast to a large mixing bowl and whisk together.
Pour in the warm water and mix until there are no dry pockets left. The dough will be extremely stiff and sticky.
Cover with a disposable shower cap or plastic wrap. Let it rest in a room temp/warm-ish area for 2 hours.
After 2 hours, pour the dough onto a well oiled sheet pan. Oil your hands and using your fingers, start to spread the dough towards the edges of the pan.
Once you get it spread to almost the edges, cover it with a damp towel and let it rest for about hour. The dough will continue to grow during this rise period.
After the second rest period, oil your fingers again and work the dough toward the edges of the pan. Use your fingertips to remove any super large bubbles.
Pizza Toppings
Sprinkle the dough with the Italian seasoning.
Spoon the marinara over the pizza dough evenly.
Top with cheese and your preferred toppings. We used a ground beef/sausage combo this time.
Bake in a preheated 450°F oven for 20-30 minutes or until everything is nice and melty.
Top with grated parmesan, slice and enjoy!
