  • Number of Servings: 3
Ingredients
CRUST (makes 3 medium-to-large pizzas):1-3/4 cups cold water1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil4-1/2 cups bread flour1 package active dry yeast1-1/2 tsp saltTOPPING (for 3 pizzas)12 oz (2 cans) tomato paste1tsp salt (or less, depending on your tastes)1/2 bullion cube (preferably veggie)italian seasonings (to your taste)1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil40 slices pepperoni (hormel natural, no nitrate)
Directions
(CRUST) Add all dry ingredients and mix well. Stir in oil and cold water until absorbed (reverse stir a few times - this should take about 2 minutes to complete - dough should be dense and should not stick to the sides of the bowl but should stick to the bottom). Kneae dought JUST ENOUGH to pull it all together (dough should look somewhat rough but together). Break dough into 3 large pieces, wrap in loose plastic, and place in a warm area for 30 minutes (best if placed in the refridgerator overnight!).
Preheat oven to 475 degrees. While dough is resting, prepare sauce by mixing tomato paste, bullion, seasonings, salt, and olive oil.
Once dough is ready, flour hands and gently toss and pull dough (while on a pizza pan or cookie sheet) until it reaches desired size; mend any holes that may have been created by pulling the dough together in those areas. Put plain dough in oven for 8 minutes to pre-cook.
Now, add sauce and topping; cook at 475 degrees for approximately 10 minutes or until cheese becomes golden around the edges. Enjoy!
