Tips from our bakers
Make pizza any shape or size or thickness you like; the above guidelines are simply suggestions.Understand that the thickest-crust pizza will need to bake longer than the thinnest-crust
version.
To freeze partially baked pizza crust: Bake crust as directed in step 13. Remove from the oven,cool to room temperature, wrap well, and freeze for up to 3 months. When you're ready to
serve pizza, remove the crust from the freezer, and allow it to thaw, loosely wrapped, at room
temperature. Once it's completely thawed, complete pizza by starting at step 15 above.
Directions
1) If you're using active dry yeast, dissolve it, with a pinch of sugar, in 2 tablespoons of the
lukewarm water. Let the yeast and water sit at room temperature for 15 minutes, until the
mixture has bubbled and expanded. If you're using instant yeast, you can skip this step.

2) Combine the dissolved yeast (or the instant yeast) with the remainder of the ingredients. Mix
and knead everything togetherby hand, mixer or bread machine set on the dough cycletillyou've made a soft, smooth dough. If you're kneading in a stand mixer, it should take 4 to 5
minutes at second speed, and the dough should barely clean the sides of the bowl, perhaps
sticking a bit at the bottom. Don't over-knead the dough; it should hold together, but can still
look fairly rough on the surface.
3) To make pizza up to 24 hours later, skip to step 5.
4) To make pizza now: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover the bowl, and allow it torise till it's very puffy. This will take about an hour using instant yeast, or 90 minutes using
active dry. If it takes longer, that's OK; just give it some extra time.
5) To make pizza later: Allow the dough to rise, covered, for 45 minutes at room temperature.
Refrigerate the dough for 4 hours (or for up to 24 hours); it will rise slowly as it chills. This step
allows you more schedule flexibility; it also develops the crust's flavor. About 2 to 3 hours
before you want to serve pizza, remove the dough from the refrigerator.
6) Decide what size, shape, and thickness of pizza you wantto make. This recipe will make one of the following choices:
Two 1/2"-thick 14" round pizzas (pictured);Two 3/4"-thick 12" round pizzas;
One 3/4" to 1"-thick 13" x 18" rectangular (Sicilian-style) pizza (pictured);

One 1 1/2"-thick 9" x 13" rectangular pizza;
One 1"-thick 14" round pizza.
7) Divide the dough in half, for two pizzas; or leave it whole for one pizza.
8) If you're making a rectangular pizza, shape the dough into a rough oval. For a round pizza,shape it into a rough circle. In either case, don't pat it flat; just stretch it briefly into shape. Allowthe dough to rest, covered with an overturned bowl or lightly greased plastic wrap, for 15
minutes.
9) Use vegetable oil pan spray to lightly grease the pan(s) of your choice. Drizzle olive oil into
the bottom of the pan(s). The pan spray keeps the pizza from sticking; the olive oil gives the
crust great flavor and crunch.
10) Place the dough in the prepared pan(s). Press it over thebottom of the pan, stretching it towards the edges. You'll probably get about two-thirds of the
way there before the dough starts shrinking back; walk away for 15 minutes. Cover the doughwhile you're away, so it doesn't dry out.
11) When you come back, you should be able to pat thedough closer to the corners of the pan. Repeat the rest and dough-stretch one more time, ifnecessary; your goal is to get the dough to fill the pan as fully as possible.

12) Allow the dough to rise, covered, till it's noticeably puffy, about 90 minutes (if it hasn't been
refrigerated); or 2 to 2 1/2 hours (if it's been refrigerated). Towards the end of the rising time,preheat the oven to 450F.
13) Bake the pizza on the lower oven rack till it looks and
feels set on top, and is just beginning to brown around the edge of the crust, but is still pale ontop. This will take about 8 minutes for thinner crust pizza; about 10 to 12 minutes for mediumthickness; and 12 to 14 minutes for thick-crust pizza. If you're baking two pizzas, reverse them in
the oven (top to bottom, bottom to top) midway through the baking period.
14) To serve pizza immediately: Remove it from the oven,
and arrange your toppings of choice on top. Return to the oven, and bake on the upper oven rackfor an additional 10 to 15 minutes, until the crust is nicely browned, both top and bottom, and the
cheese is melted. Check it midway through, and move it to the bottom rack if the top is browningtoo much, or the bottom not enough.
15) To serve pizza up to 2 days later: Remove the untopped, partially baked crust from the oven,cool completely on a rack, wrap in plastic, and store at room temperature. When ready to serve,
top and bake in a preheated 450F oven, adding a couple of minutes to the baking times notedabove. Your goal is a pizza whose crust is browned, and whose toppings are hot/melted.
16) Remove the pizza from the oven, and transfer it from the pan to a rack to cool slightly before
serving. For easiest serving, cut with a pair of scissors.
