Instructions
Creating your own South Shore Bar Pizza can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Activate Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
2. Make Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms.
3. Knead Dough: On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. Let Dough Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
5. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
6. Shape Dough: After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
7. Prepare Pizza: Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet or a pizza peel dusted with cornmeal. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the base.
8. Add Toppings: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese and add your chosen toppings.
9. Bake Pizza: Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (or onto the hot pizza stone) and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
10. Cool and Slice: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice into squares for serving.
