Pizza Bread

• 2 14 cups warm water
• 1 pinch granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons yeast
• 14 g kosher salt
• 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (~120 gm per cup)
• 3 cups unbleached flour (~124 gm per cup)
• extra flour
• extra olive oil
• 2 cups mozzarella cheese (fresh is best)
• 2 -3 tablespoons fresh oregano or 2 -3 tablespoons fresh basil
• 2 -4 cups marinara sauce (Golden Grains is the best of the store brands)

1. Proof yeast in 1/4 cup warm water with a pinch of sugar about 10 minutes.
2. Add to a stand mixer with a paddle attachment (which I prefer over a dough hook).
3. Add 2 cups of warm water and mix at lowest speed.
4. Alternate AP flour with bread flour, one cup at a time and mix.
5. Increase mixer speed as needed.
6. After adding 4 cups total flour (AP+bread), add the salt.
7. Add the rest of the flour and mix.
8. Dough should be pretty sticky.
9. Stop the mixer and pull up paddle.
10. If dough develops a nice"window" over the paddle, then it's ready.
11. If not, add flour, 1 tablespoon at a time and mix.
12. Stop mixer and pull paddle attachment, checking again for the"window".
13. Once you get a window, stop mixing.
14. If you overmix, let dough rest a bit.
15. Onto a floured board, dump this sticky dough and shape into a ball.
16. Place dough ball into a well-oiled large pan.
17. You can use a small amount of oil on the top of the loaf and place into a cold oven.
18. I place a small loafpan of boiling water into the cold oven, near the loaf.
19. This creates a humid atmosphere for the bread- a steam box.
20. Keep the door closed until the ball doubles in size, about 1 hour.
21. After doubling, remove dough from pan and cut into 2 balls.
22. Place each on a good sized baking pan and shape each ball into an Italian loaf.
23. Heat oven to 425 F, keeping the water-filled loafpan in the oven.
24. Allow shaped loaves to rest about 30-45 minutes.
25. Bake about 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
26. Remove from oven.
27. Spread (not dump) your favorite miranara sauce over each half-loaf of bread.
28. Cover with splotches of mozzarella cheese slices.
29. Add fresh oregano and/or basil and bake until cheese begins to brown.
30. This is a super snack for picky kids.
