Recipe Summary Sicilian Pizza Crust

Add a savory Italian flavor to your pizza via this Sicilian crust.

Ingredients | Sicilian Pizza Oven Lighthouse Point

1 cup warm water (95 to 110 degrees F/35 to 43 degrees C)

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast

2 tablespoons shortening

1 ½ teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon white sugar

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

3 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

Combine warm water and yeast in a small bowl; stir until yeast is dissolved. Let stand until yeast forms a creamy foam, about 10 minutes.

Pour yeast mixture into a large bowl; add shortening, salt, sugar, and Italian seasoning. Stir in flour by hand until dough comes together.

Turn dough out on a floured work surface and knead until smooth, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a large greased bowl. Cover with a moist towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.

Punch dough down gently. Let stand for 3 to 5 minutes for air to release. Roll into a ball; spread and stretch over the bottom of a pizza pan. Let rise for 15 minutes before topping and baking.

Top crust with your favorite toppings and bake at 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) until toppings are hot and crust is browned, about 15 minutes. Cool for 3 to 5 minutes before slicing.
