Crispy crus New York Style Pizza Recipe
Although tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese are often the primary toppings on a New York style pizza, you do have the option to add additional toppings.
Bake a New York-style pizza in the 500-600 degree range if you want to eat one with lots of toppings. To guarantee that all the toppings, sauces, and cheese are baked properly, this temperature is necessary.
Here's a recipe for a classic New York-style pizza:
Ingredients:
For the dough:
- 3 ½ cups bread flour
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ⅓ cups warm water
- 1 can (14 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- Any desired toppings such as pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, etc.
- In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes foamy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Form the dough into a ball.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours until it doubles in size.
- Preheat your oven to the highest temperature it can reach. If you have a pizza stone or baking steel, place it in the oven to preheat as well. It's important to get the oven as hot as possible for a New York-style pizza.
- In the meantime, prepare the sauce by combining the crushed tomatoes, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles. Divide it into two equal portions. Roll out each portion into a round pizza shape of desired thickness.
- If using a pizza stone or baking steel, transfer one rolled-out dough onto a pizza peel or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If not using a stone or steel, you can place the dough directly on a baking sheet.
- Spread a thin layer of sauce onto the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Add the desired amount of shredded mozzarella cheese and any other toppings you prefer.
- Carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone, baking steel, or baking sheet.
- Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
- Repeat the process with the remaining dough and toppings.
- Remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
