Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • ⅔ cup warm water (110°F/45°C)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 can (10 ounces ) tomato sauce
  • 1 pound shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated Romano cheese
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions

1

Sprinkle the yeast over the surface of the warm water in a large bowl. Let stand for 1 minute, then stir to dissolve.

2

Mix in the flour, salt, and olive oil.

3

When the dough is too thick to stir, turn out onto a floured surface, and knead for 5 minutes. Knead in a little more flour if the dough is too sticky.

4

Place into an oiled bowl, cover, and set aside in a warm place to rise until doubled in bulk.

5

Preheat the oven to 550°F or as hot as your oven will go. Authentic New York pizzerias bake pizzas in ovens from 700–1,000°F. If using a pizza stone , preheat it in the oven as well, setting it on the lowest shelf.

6

When the dough has risen, flatten it out on a lightly floured surface.

7

Roll or stretch out into a 12- inch circle, and place on a baking sheet . If you are using a pizza stone, you may place the pizza on a piece of parchment while preheating the stone in the oven.

8

Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough. Sprinkle with oregano, mozzarella cheese, basil, Romano cheese, and red pepper flakes.

9

Bake for 12–15 minutes in the preheated oven, until the bottom of the crust is browned when you lift up the edge a little, and cheese is melted and bubbly.

10

Cool for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
