GRANDMA'S PIZZA

Steps:

• For the dough: Combine the flour, salt and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment. Stir to combine, then add 1 cup water. Mix on low speed until the dough comes together into a rough ball. Continue mixing at medium-low speed until the dough forms a smooth, silky ball, about 10 minutes. Form the dough into a tight ball, set in the bottom of the mixer bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place until the dough has roughly doubled in size, about an hour.
• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
• Cut the dough in half; you should have enough for two 9-by-13-inch baking sheets. You can make both pizzas now, or hold the dough in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Lightly oil one or two 9-by-13-inch baking sheets. Add the dough and press down on it to spread it toward the edges. You won't be able to get it all the way to the edges, so spread it as much as you can without tearing. If the dough isn't stretching well, cover and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes, then stretch again.
• For the sauce: Put the tomatoes, olive oil, basil, garlic and some salt in a blender and puree until smooth.
• For the topping: Spread the sauce all the way to the corners of the dough. Top the sauce with the mozzarella and sprinkle with black pepper and chile flakes if using. Bake until the dough is crisp and the cheese is melted, 10 to 12 minutes. Top with the basil and some Parmesan and serve.

ATK'S GRANDMA PIZZA

Steps:

• Spread the 2 tablespoons of olive oil over a jelly roll or large baking pan.
• Combine the water and olive oil together in a measuring cup.
• Mix all of the dry ingredients for the crust together and place in a mixer. With the dough hook, start mixer on low and begin to add the liquid mixture until the wet and dry ingredients are incorporated. Increase the speed to medium and mix for 10 minutes. The dough should be sticky unlike regular pizza dough.
• Drop the dough onto the oiled pan and turn over once to coat the dough with oil. Press out into a 6 x 10" rectangle (the dough won't spread over the whole pan at this point.) Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 60 to 90 minutes; the dough should double. Uncover and press the dough out to the sides of the pan. Cover again with the plastic and let rest/rise for another 45 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 500 degrees fareneheit, with rack positioned at the lowest level.
• Mix all of the ingredients together for the sauce. Cheeses should be combined, and fresh basil should be rolled, width-wise, and chopped into fine ribbons and set aside.
• First, spread the cheese evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the tomato topping. Bake for approximately 15 minutes (perhaps sooner if you have a convection oven), until bubbly and golden brown.
• With a long spatula, loosen crust from pan then transfer onto a large cooling rack. Sprinkle with fresh basil, cut and serve.
