Short Crust Pizza Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
- 1/4 – 1/3 cup ice water
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives
- 1/4 cup sliced pepperoni
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, and salt.
- Add the cold butter cubes and use a pastry blender or your hands to mix the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add in the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough starts to come together and forms a ball.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch (30cm) circle and transfer it to a pizza pan or baking sheet.
- Spread the pizza sauce over the dough, leaving about 1/2 inch (1.25cm) of space around the edges.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the pizza, followed by the chopped basil, sliced black olives, and pepperoni.
- Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
