Ingredients
  

  • 3 cup Strong Flour (300 grams)
  • 1 Yeast sachet
  • 2 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1 Cup Tomato Sauce
  • 1 Garlic clove
  • 1 Tbsp Fresh basil
  • 2 cup Water (200 ml)
  • 1 Cup Grated mozzarella
  • Grated Parmesan cheese
  • Cherry tomatoes
  • Salt

Instructions
 

  • Let's start with the base: Put the flour in a large bowl. Add the yeast and salt. In this mixture, make a well in the flour (leave a hole in the center), and there, add the warm water and olive oil, start mixing with a wooden spoon until you get asoft dough that will be quite wet. Place the mixture on a clean surface previously covered with flour (this way we avoid that the dough sticks to us,so pour flour also on your hands. Knead for 5 minutes until smooth. When the dough no longer sticks (if it sticks too much, add a little more flour until the dough does not stick too much) make a ball with the dough, put it back inthe bowl and cover it with a kitchen towel. Set aside. You can let the dough rise (let it rest for half an hour) if you want the dough to be thicker and fluffier.
    3 cup Strong Flour, 1 Yeast sachet, 2 cup Water, Salt, 2 tablespoon Olive oil
  • To prepare the sauce just mix the tomato, chopped basil and crushed garlic. Add salt and pepper to taste and set aside at room temperature while you continue with the dough.
    1 Cup Tomato Sauce, 1 Garlic clove, 1 Tbsp Fresh basil
  • Now we have to knead a little. Separate the dough into two balls and continue kneading. On a floured surface, spread the dough and start kneading. You must knead until the dough has tension, that is, the dough returns to its original shape. This is how it should be. With a rolling pin, shape it. The dough should be very thin because it will rise in the oven. Place the dough on the baking sheet on a baking paper to prevent it from sticking to the baking sheet.
  • To finish the recipe, let's bake. We start by preheating the oven to 390ºF.
    We cover our pizza dough with the sauce we have prepared. We can help us with the back of a spoon to spread the sauce well throughout the dough.
    Cover with the two types of grated cheese, put the cherries and season to taste.
    If you like oregano you can sprinkle a little on top (it will look great).
    Bake for 8-10 minutes until crispy, and now you have your delicious thick and fluffy homemade pizza dough ready!

Notes

Note: If you like a crunchier texture for the dough, you can leave it 2 minutes in the oven.
Note 2: If you have too much dough, or you don't want to make such a big pizza, you can make little balls that you will later knead to give them the shape of the dough, the size you want, and keep the rest in the fridge.
Note 3: Once you have the dough, you can add to your pizza the ingredients you like the most. In this pizza base recipe you have millions of delicious combinations, so let your imagination run wild!
Have you tried changing the tomato for cream? This is the base of the carbonara pizza.
