Homemade Pizza (restaurant-style) / The Modern Nona
  1. In a bowl, add the yeast, sugar and warm water. Give it a quick whisk and leave it to activate and foam up for 5 to 10 minutes.

  2. Add the flour and salt to a large bowl and mix together. Pour in the activated yeast mixture and stir with a spatula or wooden spoon.

  3. Pour the dough out onto the clean counter and begin to knead it. If the dough is sticky, add 1 tablespoon of flour at a time and knead until you have a smooth dough.

  4. Once the dough is kneaded, shape it into a ball and oil it up with olive oil. Place it in a big bowl and let it rest, covered with plastic wrap, in a warm dry place away from drafts for about 1 ½ hours, until the dough has tripled in size.

  5. When the dough has risen, remove the plastic wrap and punch it down in the middle so it deflates. Place the dough on the counter and divide into four equal pieces.

  6. Roll each piece into a ball and start to roll out the pizzas one by one. Roll out all four pizzas as thin as possible and set them aside.

  7. Preheat a skillet on the stove over medium-high heat and preheat the oven to broil.

  8. Place one pizza dough in the hot skillet and immediately add the toppings. Spoon on your favorite pizza sauce, distributing it evenly with the back of a spoon, leaving a small border for the crust.

  9. Add the grated cheeses. When the pizza is charred on the bottom, transfer it onto a baking dish or sheet lined with parchment paper and place it in the oven on BROIL until it's melty and charred.

  10. Remove the pizza from the oven, top with basil, slice and enjoy!
