Servings 2 crusts

Ingredients
  

For the dough:

  • 3 cups bread flour
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon instant or rapid rise yeast
  • 1 1/3 cups ice water
  • 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt

For the pizza sauce:

  • 1 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 freshly ground pepper

To assemble:

  • Shredded mozzarella cheese
  • pepperoni
  • fresh basil

Instructions
 

  • In the bowl of your food processor, pulse together the flour, sugar, and yeast.
  • Pour the cold water through the feed tube with the machine running. Process until just combined and my flour remains, about 10 seconds. Let stand for 10 minutes.
  • Add the table salt and the vegetable oil and process until the dough comes away from the sides of the bowl. It takes about a minute. Pour the dough out and knead it for about 1 minute or until the dough is smooth.
  • Put the dough in a bowl coated with vegetable oil. Cover with plastic wrap and put in the fridge for 24 hours and up to 3 days.
  • Put everything in the food processor and process until smooth.
  • Cover and refrigerate until you are ready to use.
  • Press your dough out with your fingers. Top with the pizza sauce and the cheese.
  • I just used a small heart shaped cookie cutter to cut the pepperoni into heart shapes.
  • Preheat your oven to 500 degrees for at least one hour. I put the rack as close to the top of the oven as I can and still have room to get the pizza in and out. Slide the pizza onto a pizza stone or a cookie sheet that has been flipped over.
  • Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 1o to 12 minutes. Let the pizza stand for 5 minutes before you cut it.
