The other night one son and myself were alone, we were watching movies, and it was pouring rain outside(what else is new here in New Jersey!) I figured why not just make a pizza out of the rest of the dough. I had some homemade San Marzano tomato basil sauce on hand....two kinds of mozzarella...one freshly made and purchased that day at the farmers market. So I figured we would experiment. We decided to go for a Sicilian style pizza...one that is thick and made in a pan rather then on a stone...the experiment worked well. The dough was so easy to handle...I will most definitely do it again....one half of the pie was a simple Margarita and the other some sausage that I had leftover and some shredded mozzarella...both were really nice. The Margarita was my favorite. I strongly advise that if you make this...watch your pizza carefully...I got kind of involved in a movie and well... could have taken this pizza out of the oven a little bit sooner. The topping got a little brown for pictures...but it was delicious anyway!
I love this bread dough...I have another batch rising in the fridge right now!
I spread out the dough by hand on a half sheet pan lined with parchment. I sprinkled a little bit of cornmeal underneath the dough and spread a bit of olive oil and fresh garlic over top of the dough. I let it rest for 40 minutes while the oven was heating to 450*. The dough was very relaxed and spread out very easily.
