Your classic hand tossed pizza, except Naan Dough is used to create the Softest Pizza. This recipe makes enough for 1 Large & 1 Medium for Pizza or Pizza & Garlic Fingers or Twisty Bread. Make up some Donair Sauce too for Dipping the Garlic Fingers and Garlic Sauce for dipping the Pizza. Use leftover Pizza Sauce for dipping too.
Servings: 2 Pies
Equipment
- 1 Dough Mixer or knead by hand
- 1 Dough Tray
- 1 Pizza Stone
- 1 Pizza Screen
Ingredients
- 1 portion Naan Dough - about 1000 - 1100 g
- As Desired Pizza Sauce
- As Desired Toppings of Choice
- As Desired Mozzarella Cheese Blend - 3:1 Mozza & Provolone Cheese blend
Instructions
- Preheat the oven about 1 hour with the rack in middle position and a pizza stone at the highest setting it will go. Usually around 500 F - 550 F. Prepare the Naan Dough. When it comes time to portion and shape, portion out 1 dough ball at 610g - 625g and another at 377g - 454g to place on the baking or dough tray. Brush with Oil, cover and let proof 30 minutes before stretching out to form the Pizza dough.Meanwhile, prepare the Pizza Sauce and Toppings.
- On a well floured surface, coat the entire dough ball with Flour. With a fist, palm facing down, flatten out the center. Never touch the edge where the crust will be. You want to keep as much air in the crust as possible. Form the Crust along the perimeter with your fingertips and stretch the dough out with your palms. Toss from hand to hand with some force to stretch at the same time shaking off any excess flour. Transfer to a Pizza screen or pan.
- Sauce the Pizza and top with your favorite toppings. Sprinkle that Mozzarella & Provolone Cheese blend on top and place into the oven.
- Bake for 4 minutes. Then turn the Pizza around, so the back of the Pizza is now facing the front, and remove the Pizza from the Pizza Screen or tray and place directly on the Pizza Stone. Bake for another 3 minutes. After a total of 7 minutes of Bake time, optionally broil the top if needed for color for about 1 minute or more.
- Remove and transfer to the counter to slice. Optionally garnish with Parsley, Aleppo Flakes, finely grated cheese like Parmesan or Parmigiano Reggiano. Asiago Cheese is good too. Reuse the Pizza screen and repeat for the second Pizza or Garlic Fingers.
