Equipment

  • 1 Large Pot or Dutch Oven
  • 2 Chef's Knife
  • 3 Cutting Board
  • 4 Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • 5 Can Opener
  • 6 Wooden Spoon or Spatula
  • 7 Ladle Bowls

Ingredients
  

  • 2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons melted butter
  • 1⅓ cups warm water (110°F)
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cups baking soda
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 cups pizza sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Coarse sea salt (for sprinkling on the crust)
  • Your favorite pizza toppings (pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, etc.)

Instructions
 

  • Activate Yeast:
    Fill a large pot with water, and heat until hot. Once the water is hot, add the sugar and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it foams.
  • Mix the flour:
    Add the flour and salt to the sugar water in the heated pan. Sprinkle some flour lightly to mix the dough well and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Let it rise:
    Place the dough in an oiled bowl. Cover with a clean cloth.
  • Boil the water:
    Take 4 cups of water in a bowl. Carefully add the baking soda (the water will bubble as soon as the baking soda is added, so add it slowly)
  • Shape the Dough:
    Divide the dough into 2 portions. Roll each portion into a round pizza crust shape about 12 inches in diameter.
  • Boil the dough:
    Place each pizza roll in boiling baking soda water for 30 seconds, remove with a slotted spoon when the pizza is completely submerged, and place on a wire rack.
  • Preheat the oven: 
    Set your oven to preheat at 450 °F ( 230 °C). Place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat the pizza.
  • Add the toppings:
    If you're using a stone to bake the pizza, you must transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza peel. Brush the edges of the stone with a little oil. Then sprinkle with coarse salt. Spread the pizza sauce over the crust leaving a small border. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake the pizza:
    Carefully transfer the pizza to a baking sheet set to preheat. Bake for 12-15 minutes, and continue baking until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
  • Serve:
    Remove the pizza from the oven and slice once the pizza has cooled slightly. Enjoy Pretzel Crust Pizza for the whole family to enjoy!

Notes

Stuff the edges of the crust with cheese before baking for extra crispy enjoyment.
Brush the crust with a mixture of melted butter and herbs (such as garlic powder, parsley, and oregano) for added flavor.
