White Pizza Authentic Italian










INGREDIENTS:


4 3/4 - Cups white flour
2 - Cups warm water; 105° F.
3 - Teaspoons dry yeast
1 - Teaspoon salt
1 - Tablespoon olive oil
Olive Oil
Kosher salt
Dried Rosemary
DIRECTIONS:


Dissolve yeast in the warm water. Add yeast/water mixture to 3 cups of the
flour. Mix, adding regular salt and olive oil a little at a time. Add the rest
of the flour bit by bit until the dough "feels right".

Turn dough onto a floured board and knead; adding more flour if necessary
to keep the dough from sticking to your fingers. Put the dough in a
greased bowl and rotate to distribute the grease all over the dough. Let
rise until about double in size (approx. 2 hours).

Remove the dough, punch down and roll out on the floured board to a
thickness of 3/8 to 1/2 inch (make it any shape you desire). Put dough in
a pan or cookie sheet. With a pastry brush, paint liberally with
additional olive oil. Use your thumb and 2 fingers to make dimples over
the entire surface. Sprinkle the Kosher sea salt and rosemary over the
surface of the dough. Let rise a little more.

Bake at 375° F for about 25 minutes. When done, paint liberally
again with olive oil.
