Ingredients
- 3¾ cups bread flour
- 1 tsp. sugar
- 1 packet dry active yeast (instant or rapid rise)
- 1½ cups of hot (not boiling) water
- 2 Tbsp. oil
- 2 tsp. salt
- 4 Tbsp. butter
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Combine the flour, sugar, and yeast into a stand mixer with the hook attachment and stir to combine.
- With the mixer on low, slowly add the hot water and oil.
- When the dough starts to come together, add the salt.
- Continue to mix on low until the dough comes together to form a ball on the hook and the bowl looks ‘clean’. You may need to add a bit of water or flour to find the right balance for the dough.
- Remove the ball of dough from the hook and knead it by hand on a lightly floured surface.
- Oil a large bowl and place the dough inside and cover it with plastic wrap.
- Keep the dough in a warm place and allow the dough to double in size – this takes about 45 min-1 hour (20-30 min with rapid rise yeast)
- When the dough is doubled in size, turn it out of the bowl onto a lightly floured surface.
- Cut the dough in two pieces. Roll and shape the dough into two large pizza rounds about ½ in in thickness.
- Brush melted butter over the top of the dough.
- Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and then mozzarella cheese.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
- Allow to cool and then cut into strips using a pizza cutter.
