SICILIAN PIZZA DOUGH
I saw Nick Stellino make this dough and use it to make four calzones. It will also make two pizzas. I've done both and they turn out wonderfully! My key to a great pizza is to slice everything VERY thin and to not pile it on too thick. Our usual pizza is feta, garlic, freshly grated parm, fresh spinach, toasted pine nuts, tomatoes, mushrooms, mozzarella, a drizzle of olive oil and salt and pepper. I highly recommend it!

Steps:
- Add room temperature water to a mixing bowl. Dissolve the sugar and yeast, and add the flour gradually while mixing. Add salt, and mix the dough so it comes together as a shaggy dough.
- Place the dough in an air-tight container, or in a bowl covered with plastic wrap. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes to let the gluten hydrate and ddevelo.
- Take the dough out of its container and knead it to a smooth, springy dough ball. This step can either be done by hand or in a stand mixer This should only take a couple of minutes.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled airtight container or in a bowl covered with plastic wrap, and let the dough rise for 4-6 hours.
- Remove the dough from the rising container and stretch it out directly on a baking sheet or on a sheet of parchment paper. Use your fingertips and press it outwards from the middle into a rectangular shape. But make sure to keep an edge around the pizza. This will create a nice, raised crust!
- Top teh pizza with your favorite sauce, cheese and toppings.
- Bake the pizza for 30 minutes at 400°F (205°C), until the crust is nice and crispy and slightly brown.

Steps:
- Make the dough: Whisk the flour, sugar, salt and the yeast in a medium bowl. Pour the warm water into a large bowl, then add the flour mixture and stir until combined. Stir in 2 tablespoons olive oil to make a very sticky dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead, dusting with more flour as needed, until the dough comes together and no longer sticks to your fingers, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a lightly oiled large bowl and turn to coat. Tightly cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- Coat an 11-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheet with 3 tablespoons olive oil. Add the dough and stretch it to fit the baking sheet. Brush with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Loosely cover with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature until puffy, about 2 hours.
- Meanwhile, position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Make the sauce: Combine the tomatoes and their juices and the salt in a medium bowl and crush well with your hands or a potato masher. Uncover the dough and sprinkle with salt. Gently place the baking sheet in the oven (the dough might deflate if it is knocked). Bake until golden, about 20 minutes. Remove the crust from the oven, top with the sliced mozzarella and cover with 2 cups of the crushed tomatoes. Bake until the cheese is bubbling through the sauce and starts browning, 15 to 20 more minutes.
- Let the pizza stand 10 minutes, then remove from the pan using a spatula and transfer to a cutting board. Let cool 1 to 2 minutes before slicing.
