Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough

  • 7 fluid ounces warm water (Use warm water to activate the yeast effectively.)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry active yeast (This is the secret to that perfect rise.)
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar (Enhances the yeast’s effectiveness and adds a touch of sweetness.)
  • 11 1/2 ounces all-purpose flour (Provides the structure needed for a crisp crust.)
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil (Adds richness to the dough; oil the bowl to prevent sticking.)
  • 1 teaspoon table salt (Balances flavors and strengthens the dough.)

For the Toppings

  • 1 15-ounce can Pastene California Pizza Sauce (A ready-to-use sauce that packs a flavorful punch.)
  • 2 7-ounce packages 18-month aged cheddar cheese shredded (This gives an incredible sharp flavor that cheese lovers adore.)
  • 1 cup fresh mozzarella shredded (Melts beautifully, creating that gooey, cheesy layer.)
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (Layer it on for a salty, nutty finish.)
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil (Drizzle over the toppings for added richness.)

Instructions

  1. Making the Pizza In a bowl, combine the warm water, dry active yeast, and granulated sugar. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy, signaling that the yeast is activated.
  2. Mixing the Dough Ingredients In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, table salt, and 3 1/2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil. This mixture lays the foundation for a tasty crust.
  3. Forming the Dough Pour the foamy yeast mixture into the flour blend. Mix well and knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
  4. First Rise Shape the kneaded dough into a ball and lightly coat it with olive oil. Place it in an oiled bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot until it’s doubled in size—typically about 1 to 1.5 hours.
  5. Preheating Oven While the dough rises, preheat the oven according to the instructions found on your sauce and cheese packaging.
  6. Preparing the Dough Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down and divide it in half. Roll out each half on a floured surface until it fits your pizza pan, aiming for a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
  7. Adding Sauce and Cheese Spread a generous layer of Pastene California Pizza Sauce over the rolled-out dough. Top it off with the aged cheddar, fresh mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese.
  8. Baking Bake the pizzas according to the instructions on your sauce and cheese packaging, keeping an eye on them until the crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
  9. Finishing Touches Add your favorite toppings before baking for a personalized twist.
