Pizza Margherita
- 1 12 cups water, at 110 degrees
- 34 tablespoon fast rising yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar

- Pizza Dough: Add yeast and sugar to water, whisk and set aside until foamy.
- Add yeast mixture and oil to flour; mix and turn out onto lightly floured surface; knead 5 minutes (10 minutes if under stress or worried).

- Divide dough in half and roll out two 12"-15" pizza crusts.
- Pizza Sauce: Place all ingredients in food processor and pulse 10 times.
- Finish: Spread 1/2 cup Pizza Sauce on each pizza (reserve the remaining sauce for another use); scatter each with half the cubed boconcini, basil and grated mozzarella; drizzle with half the olive oil and add pepper.
