Servings 14 servings
Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 6 hours

Ingredients

Dough

  • 6 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 2 ½ cups warm water
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

Toppings

  • cheese
  • pepperoni
  • sausage
  • olives
  • onions
  • peppers
  • pizza sauce

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, sugar, and yeast. Add water and 3 tablespoons olive oil. Stir until no dry spots remain. Cover and let rest 15 minutes.
  • With wet hands, perform 4 sets of stretch-and-folds, spaced 15 minutes apart. Pull up one section of dough, fold it into the center, and repeat around the bowl.
  • Cover and let rise for 2 hours, until doubled and puffy.
  • Line an extra-deep half sheet pan with a parchment paper sling, leaving overhang on the long sides for easy lifting. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  • Transfer dough to pan and gently turn once to coat in oil. Cover and let rise 2 hours, until very puffy and nearly fills the pan.
  • Preheat oven to 475°F. Drizzle dough with 1 tablespoon olive oil and dimple all over. Layer with cheese, pizza sauce, toppings, and more cheese.
  • Bake 18–22 minutes on the bottom rack until deeply golden brown. Lift out using the parchment sling, slice, and enjoy!
