Instructions

• *The trick to a perfect pizza is a very hot oven! Be sure to crank your oven on at least 45 minutes before baking. I usually preheat mine for 1 hour. Hot oven = gooey cheese and crispy crust. YES!

For the Crust:

• Combine the bread flour, sugar, yeast and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer; stir to combine.
