Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for kneading and dusting
1 packet Fleischmann's® Pizza Crust Yeast
1 1/2 teaspoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt, plus more for sprinkling
3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2/3 cup warm water (120 to 130 degrees F)
1 to 1 1/2 cups tomato sauce
6 ounces buffalo mozzarella, sliced
Fresh basil leaves, for sprinkling
Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
- Combine the flour, undissolved yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Stir in the oil and 2/3 cup of water.
- Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead the mixture, adding more flour if the dough is too sticky, until the surface is smooth and elastic, 4 to 6 minutes. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Drizzle a rimmed sheet pan or pre-heated pizza stone with oil. Roll out the dough and place it on the pan. Top with the tomato sauce, mozzarella, basil, salt, pepper and a bit more oil.
- Bake the pizza until the crust is golden and the toppings are bubbling, about 15 minutes, depending on the size and thickness of your crust.
