How to Make St Louis Pizza
- In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing with a dough hook on medium speed until a soft and smooth dough forms (about 2 minutes).
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead a few times. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) with a pizza stone on the bottom rack. (If you don't have a pizza stone, use a baking sheet.)
- Drain the 28 ounces of crushed tomatoes, squeezing out as much excess liquid as possible.
- Coarsely chop the drained tomatoes and place them in a medium bowl.
- Add the 2 crushed garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and salt to taste.
- Let the tomato mixture steep for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- After steeping, discard the garlic cloves and stir in 1/4 cup of chopped fresh basil.
- In a food processor, combine 8 ounces of provel cheese (or your cheese substitute), 4 ounces of mozzarella, and 4 ounces of Parmesan cheese. Pulse until the mixture resembles a crumbly paste.
- Divide the dough in half.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out each half of the dough into an 11-12 inch circle.
- Carefully transfer the dough to a floured pizza peel or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Spread half of the tomato sauce evenly over each dough circle, leaving a small border.
- Top with half of the cheese mixture.
- Carefully slide the pizza from the peel or baking sheet onto the preheated pizza stone.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.
- Repeat steps 17 and 18 with the remaining dough, sauce, and cheese.
