New York-Style Pizza Recipe 🍕
Here's a recipe for classic New York-style pizza:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 8 ounces low-moisture mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Red pepper flakes, to taste (optional)
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Instructions:
1. Preheat your outdoor pizza oven to its highest temperature, typically around 500-550°F (260-288°C), and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to preheat as well.
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness. Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza peel dusted with cornmeal or flour to prevent sticking.
3. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
4. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.
5. Sprinkle the dried oregano and garlic powder evenly over the cheese, and add red pepper flakes to taste for a touch of heat, if desired.
6. Carefully transfer the assembled pizza to the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the outdoor pizza oven.
7. Bake the pizza in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
8. Once cooked, remove the pizza from the oven using a pizza peel and transfer it to a cutting board.
9. Garnish the cooked pizza with fresh basil leaves and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil for added flavor.
10. Slice the pizza into wedges and serve hot.
