Ingredients
  

For the Dough:
  • 2 1/4 cups bread flour provides the perfect chewy texture
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt enhances the flavor of the dough
  • 1/2 teaspoon instant yeast helps the dough rise quickly
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil adds richness and flavor
  • 1 teaspoon whole fennel seed gives a subtle hint of sweetness
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme adds an earthy aroma
  • 7/8 cup cold water hydrates the dough for the perfect consistency
  • Cornmeal for dusting, prevents sticking

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Wooden spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Rolling Pin
  • Baking Sheet or Pizza Stone
  • Plastic Wrap or Freezer Bags

Method
 

Preparation Steps:
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the bread flour, salt, and instant yeast. Mix well until all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
  2. Add the olive oil and cold water to the dry mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until the dough begins to form.
  3. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle a bit more flour as needed.
  4. While kneading, incorporate the whole fennel seeds and dried thyme, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
  6. Once risen, punch down the dough to release air. Divide it into two equal portions. Roll out each portion into your desired thickness, then place them on a baking sheet or pizza stone dusted with cornmeal.
  7. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Bake the crusts for about 5-7 minutes until they are just beginning to set but not browned.
  8. Allow the crusts to cool completely. Once cooled, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or place them in freezer bags. Label with the date and freeze.
  9. When you’re ready to bake, remove the crust from the freezer. Add your favorite toppings and bake in a preheated oven at 475°F for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and the crust is golden brown.

Notes

  • Customize your pizza with seasonal ingredients for added flavor.
