Pizza Skopelitti Alla Romano Recipes

Steps:

• Using a mixer - combine in a bowl: water, sugar, yeast and stir to dissolve. Set aside until yeast is bubbly and foamy (10-15 minutes). Then add flour, 1 ½ teaspoons of salt and 3 tablespoons of olive oil to the bowl. Use a dough hook and mix on low speed until dough comes together, once it does - increase speed to medium and allow to knead for 5 minutes. Remove dough from bowl and place in a lighted greased bowl and cover with a damp kitchen towel (or plastic wrap). Allow dough to prrof until doubled in size, about 2 hours. Preheat oven to 450℉ Punch dough down and place in a lightly oiled 9X13 sheet pan. Cover with a damp kitchen towel or plastic wrap and allow to double in size again, about 30 minutes. Using your hands, press dough so that it fits evenly across the entire pan. Spread prosiutto, mozzarella, and tomatoes evenly over the surface of the dough. Drizzle the remaining 6 tablespoons of olive oil over the entire pizza. Sprinkle the top evenly with basil and kosher salt and bake until golden brown, about 15-19 minutes. Allow 5-15 minutes to cool before cutting and serving.
