New York Style Sauce And Cheese Pizza Food

NEW YORK-STYLE CHEESE PIZZA

Steps:

• Make the dough: Sprinkle the yeast over the hot water in a small bowl. Let stand until dissolved and slightly foamy, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the bread flour, all-purpose flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl and make a well in the center. Pour the yeast mixture into the well and add the olive oil. Stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, dust the dough with flour and knead, dusting with more flour as needed, until very smooth and elastic but still slightly tacky, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours. Divide the dough into two 1-pound balls; wrap one ball in plastic and refrigerate for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Bring to room temperature before using.
• Make the pizza sauce: Combine the tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, sugar and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a medium bowl; season with more salt and sugar if needed. (Makes about 1 1/2 cups.)
• Make the pizza: Preheat the oven to 500˚ F (use the convection setting, if available) with a pizza stone, baking steel or inverted large baking sheet in the lower third of the oven. Working on a lightly floured or cornmeal-dusted piece of parchment, gently stretch and press the other ball of dough into a 12- to 13-inch round. Cover the dough with 1/2 cup pizza sauce, the Parmesan, torn mozzarella and grated mozzarella, leaving a 3/4-inch border.
• Transfer the pizza (on the parchment) to the hot stone and bake until the crust is set, about 5 minutes. Slide out the parchment from under the pizza; continue to bake until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted, 5 to 10 minutes. Slide the pizza onto a cutting board.

• Knead dough by hand 2-5 times on a floured work surface. A small piece of dough should stretch enough to allow light to pass through easily without tearing (the windowpane test). Divide dough in three and place into 1-qt plastic containers or zip-top bags. Refrigerate at least 24 hours, or up to 5 days.
• 2 hours before baking, remove dough to counter, place rack with pizza stone in center of oven and preheat oven to 500°F Form dough into a tight ball by gathering edges into the center and pinching shut; place into a clean mixing bowl, cover with a towel or plastic wrap, and allow to rise until doubled, about 2 hours.
• Grate mozzarella cheese; you should have about 4 cups. Place on a plate and place in freezer for at least 15 minutes before baking.
• Place dough ball on lightly floured surface. Press out into 8" circle, leaving the outer 1" slightly raised. Stretch the dough over your knuckles until it forms a circle 12"-14" in diameter, about 1/4" thick. Place dough on pizza peel.
• Spread about 2/3 c sauce over crust, leaving 1/2"-1" bare at the edge. Evenly spread 1/3 of cheese over sauce. Slide pizza onto baking stone and bake until cheese is melted and has scattered brown spots, and cornicione is brown and puffy, 12-15 minutes. Remove from oven, transfer to a cutting board, slice and serve immediately. Repeat with remaining dough balls, sauce and cheese.
