Organic Cheese Pizza
1 C. Very Warm Water –
but not hot or you will kill the yeast.2 t. Yeast – Heaping!
1 T. Organic Sugar or Raw Honey
In a bowl, combine these three ingredients adding the water last so the yeast and sugar mix a little. Cover in a warm spot and let grow. About 10 – 15 minutes.
Add 1 t. sea salt and 2-3 C. organic all purpose flour to the yeast mixture. Add only as much flour as needed to make a nice dough. Knead for a few minutes ‘til the dough forms a nice soft ball.
½ + C. Tomato Sauce (depending on preference)
2 C. Raw Mild Cheddar Cheese
Spread dough on baking stone with a rolling pin. (I love using my baking stones. Makes excellent baked goods!) Top with tomato sauce and cheese. Bake in a 415° oven for about 15 minutes. My oven cooks hot so you may need to set your oven at 420° or 425°. Just check and see if the crust is done. Take out of oven, slice and enjoy!
We only have leftovers
if I make two pizzas. I like to make a kid pizza with just the cheese and an
adult pizza with anything and everything else I can think of to top it: red
onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, raw hamburger, pineapple, etc. Maybe not all at
once but you get the picture. Have fun with it. I love Sonnet Farms® Raw Mild
Cheddar. I have only found this brand of cheese in one local store, The Good Earth. It melts nicely on the pizza. You may need a little more cheese
depending on your preference. Neighbors love this as well. I’ve not had anyone
say it was bad.
I used to roll out the
dough, let it rise and then top it and bake at 350°. But, I watched my
girlfriend make hers and she didn’t raise the dough. The extra hot oven does it
and you don’t have to wait, praying for your crust to rise first. Nice tip!
I have baking stones from Pampered Chef and one was given to me but I don't know where it was purchased. I love how all of them work. I also gave one as a gift from Bed Bath & Beyond.
