Directions Pizza Margherita from Fleischmann's®
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Combine 1 cup flour, undissolved yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add very warm water and oil, mix until well blended, about 1 minute.
Gradually add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Dough should form a ball and will be slightly sticky. Knead** on a floured surface, adding additional flour if necessary, until smooth and elastic, about 4 minutes. (If using RapidRise Yeast, let dough rest at this point for 10 minutes.)
Pat dough with floured hands to fill greased pizza pan or baking sheet. OR roll dough on a floured counter to 12-inch circle, place in greased pizza pan or baking sheet. Form a rim by pinching the edge of the dough.
For toppings: Combine oil and garlic, brush over crust. Top with freshly ground sea salt. Add tomato slices and basil, sprinkle with cheese. Finish with a sprinkle of Italian herb seasoning.
Bake on lowest oven rack for 12 to 15 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and crust is browned.
