Flour & Water Inspired Pizza
The best Summer activity in San Francisco is going to Dolores Park, grabbing a bit to eat on Valencia Street, and taking it to the park with some wine. Depending on my mood, I usually go for a good grilled chicken burrito or a delicious pizza, and of course - Flour and Water always does a good job with everything on their menu. This time, I tried the pepperoni pizza with ranch; however, you can always change up the toppings to make this pizza your own. My crust is inspired by the King Arthur Flour Neopolitan Crust Recipe with a couple of modifications. *Keep in mind - the dough in this recipe does need to rest for at least 12 hours, but once it is made, the pizza is very simple to put together. ⏱️ Total Time: 24 minutes
Chef's Notes
- I have linked some of my favorite ingredients in the ingredients section, feel free to check that out!
- Throw in more veggies such as mushrooms, arugula, spinach, zucchini etc - just don't overcrowd the pizza, it'll get soggy.
- Sometimes I like to air fry a personal sized version of this pizza, and it is amazing!!!
- This dough freezes well, whether you freeze it with the toppings on or just the dough ball.
