This pizza recipe, originally from BBC Good Food, is so good! I made it with a white crust instead of the whole wheat crust called for in the recipe so feel free to use whatever kind of crust you like.

JIM LAHEY'S NO-KNEAD PIZZA MARGHERITA



Jim Lahey's No-Knead Pizza Margherita image

This is a great recipe for a simple, thin crust pizza. It's from Jim Lahey (of no-knead bread fame) who now runs a popular NYC pizzeria called Co. The recipe was printed in New York Magazine (Jul 12, 2009). If you don't have a pizza stone, this works well in a cast iron skillet. The recipe requires very little time and effort but the dough must be started the day before.

Time 36m

Yield 3-4 10-inch pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups all-purpose flour or 3 cups bread flour, more for dusting
1/4 teaspoon instant yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/4 cups water
1 vine-ripened tomatoes (about 5 oz.) or 1 heirloom tomato (about 5 oz.)
1 pinch salt
1/4 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
5 tablespoons tomato sauce
2 ounces buffalo mozzarella (about 1/4 ball)
basil leaves
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
salt

Steps:

  • To make dough: In a large bowl, mix the flour, yeast, and salt. Add water and stir until blended (the dough will be very sticky). Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 12 to 24 hours in a warm spot, about 70 degrees.
  • Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface and sprinkle the top with flour. Fold the dough over on itself once or twice, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let rest for 15 minutes.
  • Shape the dough into 3 or 4 balls, depending on how thick you want the crust. Generously sprinkle a clean cotton towel with flour and cover the dough with it. Let the dough rise for 2 hours.
  • To make sauce: Blanch tomato for 5 seconds in boiling water and quickly remove. Allow to cool to the touch. Peel the skin with your hands and quarter the tomato. Remove the jelly and seeds, and reserve in a strainer or fine sieve. Strain the jelly to remove seeds, and combine resulting liquid in a bowl with the flesh of the tomatoes. Proceed to crush the tomatoes with your hands. Add salt and olive oil and stir.
  • To make pizza: Place pizza stone on the middle rack of the oven and preheat on high broil. Stretch or toss the dough into a disk approximately 10 inches in diameter. Pull rack out of oven and place the dough on top of the preheated pizza stone. Drizzle 5 generous tablespoons of sauce over the dough, and spread evenly. Try to keep the sauce about ½ inch away from the perimeter of the dough. Break apart or slice the buffalo mozzarella and arrange over the dough. Return rack and pizza stone to the middle of the oven and broil for approximately 6 minutes. Remove and top with basil, olive oil, and salt.

Tips:

  • Use whole wheat or almond flour: These healthier alternatives to traditional white flour provide more nutrients and fiber.
  • Load up on veggies: The more colorful your pizza is, the better! Veggies offer essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
  • Choose lean proteins: Opt for chicken, turkey, or tofu instead of high-fat meats like pepperoni.
  • Go easy on the cheese: Cheese can be high in saturated fat and sodium. Use it sparingly and choose low-fat or part-skim varieties.
  • Make your own sauce: Store-bought sauces are often loaded with sugar and sodium. Making your own sauce allows you to control the ingredients and keep it healthy.
  • Bake your pizza on a whole wheat or cauliflower crust: This will make your pizza healthier and more filling.
  • Keep an eye on the cooking time: Overcooked pizza can be tough and chewy. Cook it just until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown.

Conclusion:

With a little planning and effort, you can easily make a super healthy pizza that's packed with flavor and nutrients. Enjoy your homemade pizza guilt-free, knowing you're making a healthier choice for you and your family.
