Easy No Knead Restaurant Quality Pizza in Under 1 Hour

_MG_2099.JPG

Traditionally the turn-off of making good pizza dough is that it takes hours of rising and then kneading, and then rising again, This dough only takes 30 minutes to fully rise, and if you're fast you should be able to be eating it within an hour of mixing the first ingredients. I have made this every Friday for years, and have had many complements from all who have tasted it (even from pizza snobs).

Feel free to change modify this recipe,

After 10 minutes mix in the rest of the flour, You will now need the spatula, When the dough is thoroughly mixed it should be a somewhat sticky blob, Cover the bowl and let it sit in a warm area for 20 minutes.

Once the dough has risen, scrape it back down into a ball with the spatula (see pic 3), Oil and salt the pan you intend to use, apply some oil to your hands, this is a sticky dough!! Scoop out a blob of dough appropriate to your pan size and pat it out evenly using the fingertips, turning it over to get the oil on both sides is a good idea.

Apply a couple spoonfuls of the sauce and spread it evenly, Distribute the cheese evenly over the sauce (amount is up to you)

Add topping according to personal preference.

Baking

Place the pan on center rack and bake for 10 minutes, if it looks too pale for you, put it back in for another minute.

Let cool for 5 minutes

Enjoy!!

One thing to note here,

Ideal oven temperature and cooking time may vary according to pan size, feel free to experiment, 500f for 10 minutes for my small pans will probably be both too hot, and too short a cooking time for a larger pan.
