1.
Set aside 1/3 cup flour for flouring board
|
2.
Pour the milk in a microwave-safe plastic bowl (7 cups.) Cover with a microwave lid and cook on HIGH (1200W) for 40 seconds until it reaches 75 – 85 degrees F. Cool milk, if it is over 85F. Yeast will not activate if milk is too hot.
|
3.
Combine half of the remaining flour and milk. Beat with wire whisk until smooth. Add yeast and mix with wire whisk.
|
4.
Add remaining flour and mix well with a wooden or rubber spatula until smooth. Shape into ball.
|
5.
Cover the dough with a microwave lid and cook on HIGH (1200W) for 10 seconds.
|
6.
Tamp down dough in a square shape on a lightly floured board. Form it into ball by folding the corners into the center and pinching the ends together.
|
7.
Place lightly moistened paper towel over the dough to prevent it from drying out and leave for 10 minutes at room temperature.
|
8.
Place the dough on a 12 x 14 inch piece of parchment paper* and poke 10 – 12 holes with a wooden fork tines to aerate dough for a lighter texture. Flour lightly and roll out with a rolling pin into a 10 – 12-inch oval. Pinch up a 1/3 inch edge around the rim.
|
9.
Spread 1 tablespoon of the olive oil on top with spoon. Sprinkle garlic around the pizza. Place the tomato slices around, so they don't overlap. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, basil leaves, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
|
10.
Drizzle the remaining olive oil. Place lightly moistened paper towel over the dough to prevent it from drying out, and leave for 10 minutes at room temperature until it becomes 1 1/2 times its original size.
|
11.
Remove the towel. Bake on the upper rack of a preheated oven, at 400F for 15 – 18 minutes or until the cheese melts and the crust turns golden brown. Cut into wedges and serve.
