American style thick pizza

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make thick American style pizza? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. Heat the milk until warm so that the dry yeast starts working faster.

2. STEP 2

   

   In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk and butter. Wait for the oil to melt. Don't make the milk too hot - this will kill the yeast.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add egg, salt, sugar and dry yeast to the bowl. Stir.

4. STEP 4

   

   Sift the flour through a sieve to saturate it with oxygen. Then gradually add flour to the bowl and knead the dough. Focus not on the amount of flour, but on the consistency of the finished dough.

5. STEP 5

   

   When the dough almost stops sticking to your hands, do not add any more flour. Add a little vegetable oil and knead the dough with your hands. The finished dough is soft and tender. Cover the bowl with the dough with a towel and place in a warm place for 1 hour to rise.

6. STEP 6

   

   For the filling, wash the mushrooms and cut them into slices. Cut the ham into cubes. For the sauce, mix ketchup and mayonnaise.

7. STEP 7

   

   Cut the tomatoes into slices. Grate the cheese on a coarse grater.

8. STEP 8

   

   After an hour, the dough had noticeably increased in size. Divide it into 2 parts. From this we will get two pizzas.

9. STEP 9

   

   Roll out the dough into a circle, approximately 25-30 cm. Grease the surface of the dough with mayonnaise sauce.

10. STEP 10

    

    Sprinkle the dough with cheese and arrange the chopped champignons.

11. STEP 11

    

    Add ham and tomatoes. Sprinkle some more cheese on top. Add a couple of pinches of dried Italian herbs. Place the pizza in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees, for 20-25 minutes. When baking, use your oven as a guide.

12. STEP 12

    

    The finished pizza will be rosy and appetizing. The dough will be baked around the edges. Remove the pizza from the oven, cool slightly and serve! Bon appetit!

I made thick American style pizza today. I kneaded the dough with yeast, egg and butter. True, I replaced butter with vegetable oil, but left its quantity unchanged. In order for the dough to rise well, I put it in a warm oven. There it increased several times in size, became soft and fluffy, and filled the entire volume of the pan. I divided it into two parts. From one I formed a round pizza base. I left the second one for buns. I greased the pizza blank with a mixture of mayonnaise and ketchup, put ham, tomatoes and cheese on it (I did not add champignons). I baked the pizza in the oven for 20 minutes at a temperature of 220°. The dough still rose in the oven, the pizza came out really thick (in fact, the edges turned out to be thick, and the bottom remained thin, but visually the pizza looked thick). The dough turned out to be very soft, and the pizza was tasty, aromatic and very juicy (mayonnaise and ketchup helped). Thank you very much for the recipe!
