Servings: 8 slices
Ingredients
- 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
- 1-1/3 cups warm water (110° to 115°)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups shredded brick or mozzarella cheese
- 1 can (15 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add olive oil, salt, and 2 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
- Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 500°F. Punch down dough and press evenly onto the bottom and halfway up the sides of a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Layer cheese over dough.
- Combine crushed tomatoes, olive oil, oregano, sugar, garlic powder, pepper, and red pepper flakes in a bowl. Spoon sauce over the cheese in 3 lengthwise rows.
- Bake on the lowest oven rack until crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly, about 15 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
