Friday Pizza

I call this Friday Pizza because I make this on Fridays
during Lent.
(This will make 1 (13 X 17) Pizza
For the dough:
7 Ounces Water (Warm)
1.75 Teaspoons Yeast (Dry)
1/2 Teaspoon Sugar (Granulated)
1 Ounce Olive Oil (Extra- Virgin)
12.5 Ounces Bread Flour
3/4 Teaspoon Salt
Procedure / Thursday:
For the dough- Put the water, yeast and sugar into a mixing
bowl and let it sit for 5 minutes. Add ½ the oil, flour
and salt. Mix using the dough hook for approximately 10
minutes. Place the dough in a stainless bowl which has
been rubbed with the remaining oil. Cover the dough and
let it sit at room temperature overnight.
For the topping and crust:
30 Thin Slices Tomatoes (2” in diameter) (This is a perfect
recipe for Florida because it seems as though they have
the best tomatoes during the winter.)
1/4 Cup + 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil (Extra Virgin)
2 Cloves Garlic (Fresh / Grated)
To Taste Sea Salt
To Taste Telicherry Pepper (Fresh Ground)
1/2 Pound Jumbo Lump Crab Meat
1/4 Cup Basil (Fresh / Chiffonade)
Procedure / Friday:
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
Punch the dough down and form it into a ball. Let the
dough rest for 10 minutes. Brush the pizza pan with 1
tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Roll the dough and
place it on the pan. Arrange the tomato slices on the
dough. (You can use and type of tomato that is fresh.
I like to mix colors.) Mix the garlic and 1/4 cup of olive
oil together and brush over the top of the whole pizza.
Sprinkle the top of the pizza with the sea salt and ground
pepper. Place in the oven and cook until the pizza is
just about done for your taste. I take the pizza out just
when the cheese starts to turn brown. Sprinkle the basil
and crab meat on top of the pizza, and put back in the
oven for 5 minutes. Enjoy!
