To Make the Crust
Method
Step 1
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the flour and sugar. Cut 1 stick butter into small cubes and add to the mixing bowl. Turn mixer to low and mix until dough looks like wet sand (about 1 to 2 minutes). Immediately add the cold water. Continue to mix until a dough has formed. As soon as it forms, turn off mixer and do not over mix.
Step 2
Shape the dough into a rectangle that is about 3 x 5 inches and place on a piece of plastic wrap. Cover completely and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
To Assemble
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove the dough from the fridge. Allow to sit for a few minutes while you prep the ingredients.
Step 2
Melt 1/4 stick butter and add the minced garlic.
Step 3
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thick. It should be about 9 x 13 inches. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, brush the dough evenly with the garlic butter.
Step 4
Place tomatoes and mozzarella onto the dough. Fold the sides of the dough over to create a crust.
Step 5
In a small dish, crack and beat the egg. Using a pastry brush, brush the egg onto the crust. This will help create a golden brown crust.
Step 6
Bake for 1 hour or until golden brown on crust. Sprinkle basil on top. Serve immediately.
Step 7
High Altitude – Bake for 50 minutes or until golden brown on crust.
