Homemade New York Style Pizza
Ingredients
For the crust
- 1 ¾ to 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 envelope Fleischmann’s® RapidRise® Yeast follow package instructions
- 1 ½ teaspoons sugar
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ⅔ cup very warm water 120°F-130°F
- 3 tablespoons corn oil I used Mazola
For the toppings
- ½ to 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1 to 2 cups mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup pepperoni
- Add other toppings, if desired
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Combine 1 cup flour, undissolved Fleischmann’s® RapidRise® Yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add very warm water and oil. (Note: Water should be heated to 120°F-130°F and always use a thermometer to check temperature.) Mix until well blended, about 1 minute. Gradually add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Dough should form a ball and will be slightly sticky.
- Knead on a floured surface, adding additional flour if necessary, until smooth and elastic, about 4 minutes. Let dough rest at this point for 10 minutes.
- Pat dough with floured hands to fill greased pizza pan or baking sheet. Form a rim by pinching the edge of the dough. Spread with pizza sauce. Top with cheese and pepperoni. Add other toppings, if desired.
- Bake on lowest oven rack for 12-15 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and crust is browned.

No offense to my darling mother, but she used to try and make homemade pizza, and it always tasted like oregano with hamburger meat on a biscuit! Although I've always been nervous to use yeast, you make it look easy, so maybe I'll give it a try. We love pizza at our house, but frozen is almost as bad as mom's! (OOO! I'm in trouble if she reads this!) Thanks for the tips and idea!
