HOMEMADE PIZZA DELICIOUS
Homemade
Pizza with a superb rosemary flavored crispy chewy crust. Resting the dough in
the refrigerator allows for its flavor to fully develop.
Pizza is so
easily and readily available here in the US that I seldom ever think of making
it myself. Though I do not buy it often, it is one of Ro-Jiro’s (second son)
favorite foods. Knowing that he wasn’t going to get a pizza delivered to the
home, he petitioned me to make it for him. How could I refuse. Even though the
temperature was almost 90 outside, I cranked up the oven to 450˚F to bake these
Homemade Pizzas. Good thing they were done very quickly and I was able to turn
off the oven after 20 minutes…phew!

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Combine
all-purpose flour, rosemary, salt, and yeast in a large bowl. Pour in olive oil
and water. Mix with a spatula and lightly knead until dough comes together into
a soft, smooth ball. Do not over knead. If dough is too wet, add additional
flour.
2. Cover
and let dough rise for 45 minutes in a warm place. Then refrigerate for 4 hours
(or up to 36 hours) so that crust will develop flavor.
3. Preheat
oven to 450°F (230°C).
4. Divide
dough in half. Roll out a portion of dough into a 12-inch round. Prick dough all
round with a fork and place dough on a pizza pan.
5. Spread
tomato paste or olive oil on the top. Sprinkle toppings and cheese as desired.
Repeat with the other half of dough.
6. Bake
pizza at the lowest rack for 16 to 18 minutes.
