Foolproof Pan Pizza | Serious Eats:
Ingredients
400g bread flour (14 ounces; about 2 1/2 cups), plus more for dusting
10g kosher salt (0.35 ounces; about 2 teaspoons), plus more for sprinkling
4g instant yeast (0.15 ounces; about 1 teaspoon), such as SAF Instant Yeast
275g water (9.5 ounces; about 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons)
8g extra-virgin olive oil (0.25 ounces; about 2 teaspoons), plus more to coat pans and for drizzling
1 1/2 cups pizza sauce, such as our New York–style pizza sauce
12 ounces grated full-fat, low moisture (dry) mozzarella cheese (see note)
Toppings as desired
Small handful torn fresh basil leaves (optional)
2 ounces grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano cheese (optional)
Notes
Although mozzarella is standard, any good melting cheese, such as cheddar, Jack, or young provolone, will work for this recipe. This recipe is intended to be made with dry (aged) mozzarella cheese, the yellowish variety that comes in firm blocks. Do not use fresh mozzarella, as it is too moist.
