Ingredients
- Pizza dough
- Olive oil
- Sea salt
- Fresh rosemary
Instructions
- Remove the pizza dough from the refrigerator and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes to become more pliable and easier to stretch.
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven during preheating to ensure a crispy crust.
- Lightly dust your work surface with flour and gently stretch the pizza dough into a thin, round shape using your hands. Aim for an even thickness of about 1/8 inch.
- Transfer the stretched dough onto a pizza peel or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Drizzle the surface of the dough generously with high-quality extra virgin olive oil, using a pastry brush to spread it evenly to the edges.
- Sprinkle sea salt across the surface, ensuring even distribution for balanced flavor.
- Finely chop fresh rosemary leaves and scatter them over the olive oil-coated dough.
- Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy, and the dough is cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing.
- Drizzle with additional olive oil if desired, slice, and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Tips
- • Temperature is key! Ensure your oven is fully preheated to 475°F for that perfect crispy crust. • Use high-quality extra virgin olive oil for the most authentic flavor. • Don't overload the dough - the beauty of Pizza Bianca is in its simplicity. • A pizza stone can dramatically improve your crust's texture, creating a crispy bottom that's restaurant-worthy. • Fresh rosemary makes a huge difference - try to use fresh herbs rather than dried. • Let the dough rest at room temperature before stretching to make it more pliable. • Watch the pizza closely in the last few minutes of baking to prevent burning. • Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor experience.
