From the kitchen of Diomira Putano
In a bowl:
4 Tbsp sugar
5 Tbsp oil
1 tsp salt
Mix.
Add:
1 egg
Set aside.
Dissolve:
2 packages yeast in 1 c milk or water, warmed
Add to egg bowl & mix.
Add:
3 1/2 c flour
Mix good.
If dough is sticky, touch your hand in flour & keep mixing until it is smooth.
Leave in bowl & let rise until doubled.
Rub 5 Tbsp oil all over a cookie sheet. *see NOTE
Spread the dough.
Let it rise again.
Bake @ 375 for 8 minutes.
If it isn’t a nice golden color, put it back in oven for 2-3 minutes.
Spread pizza sauce over crust.
Sprinkle with grated Romano cheese.
Put back in oven just to let the sauce get a little firm, just so it won’t be runny, about 10-15 minutes. Don’t let the sauce get dry.
NOTES:
- I think 5 Tbsp oil on the cookie sheet is a typo because the oil sloshed out of the pan when I spread the dough, so I generously coat the pan without measuring. -Stephanie
- This dough makes a thick crust. The longer it rises, the thicker it will be. It will continue to rise as it bakes. The edges are golden & crisp from all of that oil. The center is amazingly soft.
- I make this with a bread machine, layering in this order: warmed water/ milk on bottom, dry ingredients, egg, yeast. Use pizza dough setting. Proceed with spreading dough in oiled pan. – Stephanie
