White Pizza - Authentic Italian

Recipe Ingredients

4 3/4 cups	296g / 10oz	White flour
2 cups	474ml	Warm water - 105f
3 teaspoons	15ml	Dry yeast
1 teaspoon	5ml	Salt
1 tablespoon	15ml	Olive oil
		Olive oil
		Coarse kosher salt - (sea salt)
		Dried rosemary

Recipe Instructions

Dissolve yeast in the warm water. Add yeast/water mixture to 3 cups of the flour. Mix, adding regular salt and olive oil a little at a time. Add the rest of the flour bit by bit until the dough "feels right".

Turn dough onto a floured board and knead; adding more flour if necessary to keep the dough from sticking to your fingers. Put the dough in a greased bowl and rotate to distribute the grease all over the dough. Let rise until about double in size (approx. 2 hours).

Remove the dough, punch down and roll out on the floured board to a thickness of 3/8 to 1/2 inch (make it any shape you desire). Put dough in a pan or cookie sheet. With a pastry brush, paint liberally with additional olive oil. Use your thumb and 2 fingers to make dimples over the entire surface. Sprinkle the Kosher sea salt and rosemary over the surface of the dough. Let rise a little more.

Bake at 375F for about 25 minutes. When done, paint liberally again with olive oil.

Makes 1 white pizza.
