American style dough and European style toppings, but American style amounts :P (so much for “less is more”, haha)

Its a fairly simple recipe :)

(This recipe easily serve 4-6 people)

Ingredients:
3 cups of bread flour
1 package of dry active yeast (the recipe I did said 1/4 oz but I used 5/16 oz no noticeable difference)
2 tablespoons of oil (I prefer using olive oil)
1 tablespoon of sugar
1 teaspoon of salt
1 cup warm water (for the yeast)

How I did it:
First I mixed the flour, sugar and salt together in a big bowl. Separately I mixed together the warm water and yeast. When the yeast had fully dissolved I put it into the flour mix and added the two tablespoons of olive oil and mixed it around until it was a smooth ball of dough (I also added some extra olive oil when the ball was done, in my experience pizza dough has always been shiny with grease and that’s how I will continue to have it) Cover up the bowl with a towel or even plastic wrap and let rise for about 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375 F.

Dump the ball of dough on a smooth surface, like a big table (or in my case a bar) and work the dough around a little bit. Add tidy bits of flour if still sticky. Start flattening it out to a pizza shape or if you’re doing it in a pan just put it in a pan and flatten it out to the corners. Here I tried to be Luigi and toss my pizza but I will not do that again, I failed miserably – its a lot harder than it looks!

When pizza was flattened out and in place I added my toppings. I chose not to make a “traditional” pizza but more of a “Me” pizza, so I added tomato sauce on bottom. Onions, shrimp and jalapeños on top of that. A LOT of mozzarella cheese and lastly some mushrooms and salami.

Place in the middle of oven for about 20-25 minutes (until cheese turns golden brown is a good indicator for you who forget time)

I must say this was my most delicious creation yet, although it might just have to do with my pizza craving growing bigger over the past few months.
