Ingredients

Method

  1. In a large bowl, mix bread flour, salt, and sugar. In a separate bowl, dissolve yeast in cold water. Add olive oil to the yeast mixture.
  2. Gradually add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture, stirring until a dough forms. Knead for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. Cover the dough and let it ferment in the refrigerator for 24-48 hours. Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside.
  4. Roll out the dough, spread tomato sauce, add mozzarella, then top with onions, basil, and Parmesan.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes until crust is golden and toppings are cooked through.
