“Tuscany – known for its rich agriculture and simplistic, time-honored approach to cuisine – is celebrated in our Tuscan pizza, using freshly roasted mushrooms, fresh herbs, artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, onions, Roma tomatoes, and house pesto.” – Scott Eiselstein

Ingredients
  

For the pizza dough:

  • 6 oz. 00 flour 
  • 10 oz. water, cool 
  • 1 tsp. salt 
  • 5g instant yeast
  • 15g dry malt powder
  • Oil, to coat 

For the pizza sauce:

  • 1 cup San Marzano tomatoes 
  • 1 tsp. sea salt
  • 1 Tbsp. granulated sugar 
  • ¼ tsp. dried oregano
  • 1 Tbsp. San Marzano tomato paste
  • 1 Tbsp. fresh basil, chopped 

For the pizza:

  • 16 oz. pizza sauce
  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • cups mozzarella and provolone cheese blend, shredded
  • ½ cup mushrooms, roasted
  • ¼ cup artichoke hearts, chopped
  • ¼ cup roasted red peppers, sliced
  • 2 Tbsp. yellow onions, shaved
  • 3 Tbsp. pesto
  • Roma tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 tsp. oregano, chopped
  • 1 tsp. thyme, chopped
  • 1 tsp. basil, chopped
  • 1 tsp. sage, chopped

Instructions
 

  • To make the pizza dough, place all ingredients in a bowl, and mix for about 5 minutes until dough comes together.
  • Knead on the counter (will be very wet). Allow to sit at room temperature for 24 hours.
  • Then, roll into a ball, and place in a lightly oiled bowl 2 hours before use.
  • For the sauce, place all ingredients into a small container, and purée until smooth using a hand blender.
  • When ready to assemble the pizza, stretch pizza dough using extra pizza flour to about 15x8 inches, and place on floured wooden pizza peel (uneven shapes are just fine).
  • Spread pizza sauce over dough to 1/2-inch from the edge. Sprinkle cheese over top of sauce. Then, evenly spread remaining ingredients on top of the cheese.
  • Bake in a pizza oven at 550-700° or on a pizza stone in a conventional oven at the highest temperature until the edges of the crust begin to turn dark brown. Remove from oven, cut into square pieces, and enjoy.
