Classic Sicilian Pizza at Home Recipe
- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups semolina flour
- 1⅔ cup of water
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking yeast
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 2 tsp tomato paste
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp cilantro
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes
- 3 cups crushed tomatoes
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup olive oil
- 2 oz grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups Mozzarella Cheese
- Mix the all-purpose flour, semolina flour, sugar and yeast on low speed in a stand mixer. Slowly add water, oil, and salt to form a dough and keep mixing for 2 minutes. Cover with a moist kitchen towel and let rise for 10-15 minutes.
- Remove dough and knead on floured cutting board. Shape the dough into a tight ball and place back into the bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and stick in the fridge for 24 hours.
- Heat oil and garlic in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste, oregano and red pepper flakes, then add crushed tomatoes and salt.
- Simmer for 25 to 30 minutes. The sauce will reduce to about 2 cups but become stronger and more flavorful.
- Place a baking stone on the upper-middle rack and preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- Oil a rimmed baking sheet with olive oil. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and gently press into a 12x9-inch rectangle. Move it to the prepared baking sheet and roll to fit. Then, place a second baking sheet (oiled) on the dough and let rest for an hour.
- Go ahead and take the top baking sheet and spread sauce on the dough. Then go ahead and sprinkle the Parmesan and mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce and dough.
- Slide the pan on the baking stone and bake until the cheese is bubbly and browned - roughly 20 to 25 minutes.
- Remove pizza from the oven and cool 5 minutes. Use a knife to loosen the edges of the pizza from the pan, slide it onto a cutting board, and then slice into squares. Enjoy! Serve with bread and olive oil for a perfect Italian meal.
