ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 1/2 cup olive oil, divided
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/2 (28 ounce) can Tuttorosso Crushed Tomatoes Chunky Style in Puree
- black pepper, to taste
- 8 ounces low-moisture mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon sumac
- 1 teaspoon chili oil
- 4 sprigs of fresh thyme, or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
Method
Step 1
Add flour, salt, and active dry yeast to a large bowl and stir to combine. Add warm water and 1/4 cup olive oil and mix until a shaggy dough forms. Knead dough for 10 minutes, adding more flour as necessary, until dough is smooth but slightly tacky. Cover dough with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let rise for 2 hours at room temperature.
Step 2
Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant. Add 1/2 can Tuttorosso Crushed Tomatoes Chunky Style in Puree, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Lower heat and simmer for about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Step 4
Coat a baking sheet with remaining olive oil and spread evenly. Transfer dough to baking sheet and create dimples in the dough with your fingers. Spread tomato sauce evenly over dough, then top with shredded mozzarella. Sprinkle with sumac, chili oil, and thyme sprigs. Bake until cheese has melted and edges are golden and crispy, about 20 minutes. Top with grated parmesan cheese.
Step 5
Garnish with more sumac, chili oil, and serve immediately.
