How to Make 5 Minute Bread Pizza

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Lightly dust your pizza stone or baking sheet with 2 tablespoons of flour.
  3. Prepare your 5-minute artisan bread dough according to the linked recipe.
  4. Pour 3 tablespoons of EVOO into a small bowl.
  5. Take a portion of the dough (about baseball to softball size).
  6. Gently flatten the dough on the prepared pizza stone or baking sheet.
  7. Brush the top of the flattened dough with a thin layer of olive oil.
  8. Flip the dough and brush the other side with olive oil.
  9. Partially bake the dough for 7 minutes. Remove from oven.
  10. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the partially baked crust, leaving a 1-inch border.
  11. Distribute your desired toppings (pepperoni, olives, peppers, etc.) over the sauce. Get creative!
  12. Completely cover the pizza with shredded mozzarella cheese, extending to the edges.
  13. Return the pizza to the 425°F (220°C) oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust edges are golden brown.
  14. If the edges are too light, bake for a few more minutes until the crust is cooked through.
  15. Remove from oven and let rest on a heat-resistant surface for 10 minutes.
  16. Slice and enjoy your delicious 5-minute bread pizza!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
