Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 packet of active dry yeast
- 1 1/2 cups of warm water
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup of pizza sauce
- 3 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese
- Assorted toppings (pepperoni, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, etc.)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- Add the olive oil and salt to the yeast mixture.
- Gradually stir in the flour until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).
- Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface to fit a large baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Spread the pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
- Add your desired toppings on top of the cheese.
- Bake the giant pizza in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
- Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Giant pizza, a beloved Italian-American creation, originated in the United States in the 20th century. This colossal pie is a testament to American ingenuity and love for oversized portions. The history of giant pizza is intertwined with the rise of pizzerias in New York City and Chicago, where Italian immigrants put their own spin on traditional pizza. Today, the best versions of giant pizza can be found in renowned pizzerias across the United States, particularly in New York and Chicago. The key to a perfect giant pizza lies in the balance of a crispy yet chewy crust, flavorful tomato sauce, and generous toppings, creating a truly indulgent dining experience.
