Thick Crust Pizza Dough

Many American pizzas are known for their thick crust. This recipe is for making such kinds of pizza.

Ingredients

• 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups semolina flour
• 1 tsp granulated sugar
• 1 tsp yeast
• 2 cups warm water
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tsp salt

Instructions

• Mix flours, sugar, and yeast.
• Slowly pour in water and oil.
• Cover and let it rest for 10 minutes.
• Add salt.
• Knead on medium speed until the dough is released from the side of the bowl.
• Let it rest in a lightly oiled bowl for as long as you have time.
• Spread it out, making sure the bottom is very thinly spread, because otherwise it will rise up and throw the toppings off.
• Add toppings into the flattened areas of the dough.
• Bake at 180°C / 350°F until done (20-35 minutes usually).
