Pretty basic recipe. 3 cups warm water, 1 1/4 tblsp yeast. 2 tblsp olive oil, 1tsp sugar. When the yeast is dissolved and foamy I add about 1 tsp salt and start to add flour until I get a ball and knead it by hand for about 10 minutes, adding flour so the dough doesn't stick to my hands or the bowl. That gets me about 5 lbs of dough. I ball up 4 1 lb balls and freeze immediately. Let the other ball sit for a couple of hours then roll it out into a 16 inch shell.Good looking pie.

Thank you. A 42% hydration rate 24 oz. water / 56oz. flour sounds like a stiff dough.

The sauce is easy. I usually use a generic, plain tomato sauce like Hunt's. Then I add a bit of dried oregano and basil and the rest of the ingredients. Bake for about 12 minutes at 500, which is as high as my gas range goes.
I use regular all purpose flour. I couldn't tell you how much flour I use. I just add until it feels right. I am fairly old school. I measure by eye and feel. My dough has a crispy crust with a nice moist inside. Holds up well to just about any amount of ingredients you lay on there. Years of owning a restuarant will do that to you. Never had a complaint yet.Thank you. A 42% hydration rate 24 oz. water / 56oz. flour sounds like a stiff dough. What kind of flour do you use?

Sometimes those are the best kind!Everything sounds so good! We went to a cookout tonight. Frank had a hamburger that was grilled. I had a piece of BBQ chicken. Lots of salads and fruits. It was a nice evening.
I got some marinaded mozzarella at Costco with some Capriese tomatoes to share. It seemed to go over well. I may have found a new "OMG, I forgot to make something to take" dish.

I made a pizza that looked similar to that awhile ago.I use regular all purpose flour. I couldn't tell you how much flour I use. I just add until it feels right. I am fairly old school.
