St. Louis-Style Pizza
- 1 can (8 Oz. Size) Tomato Sauce
- 3 Tablespoons Tomato Paste
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Chopped Basil
- 1 Tablespoon Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Dried Oregano
- 8 ounces, weight Shredded White American Cheese
- 2 ounces, weight Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
- 3 drops Liquid Smoke (Optional, I Omitted This)
- 2 cups All-purpose Flour
- 2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 cups Plus 2 Tablespoons Water
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- Whisk sauce ingredients together.
- Set aside.
- Toss cheeses and liquid smoke (if using) together.
- Set aside.
- For the dough, whisk dry ingredients together.
- Stir in water and oil until dough starts to come together.
- Knead on a lightly floured board 3 or 4 times, until cohesive.
- Heat oven and pizza stone (lower middle rack) to 475 degrees F. Divide dough in 2 equal pieces.
- Press the first piece in a small circle, and transfer to parchment paper dusted with flour.
- Use a rolling pin to stretch dough to a 12-inch circle.
- Top with half the sauce and half the cheese.
- Slide the dough on the parchment paper onto the baking stone.
- Bake until golden brown and cheese is melted, 9-12 minutes.
- Cool 2 minutes.
- Repeat with the second round.
- Makes two 12 pizzas.
- Note: If you want to make it the way I did, throw on a handful of pepperoni and sliced black olives before baking.
