Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need
- 9-inch x 12-inch oven-safe casserole dish
- Plastic wrap
- Cheese grater
- Oven
Ingredients
- 3 to 4 cups tomato sauce
- 1 recipe Thick Crust Gluten Free Pizza Dough from GFOAS Bakes Bread, with 2 teaspoons (6 g) instant yeast in the dough stage
- 2 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, finely grated
- 12 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 8 to 10 leaves fresh basil (optional), torn by hand
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Grease a 9-inch x 12-inch oven-safe casserole dish, and cover the bottom with about 3/4-cup of the tomato sauce.
- Cut pieces of the risen and chilled pizza dough into 3/4-ounce portions, and roll loosely into rounds about 1-inch in diameter.
- Place the dough pieces, about 3/4-inch apart, on top of the sauce in the casserole dish. Cover with lightly oiled plastic wrap and set aside in a warm location until they rise to about 1 1/2-times their original size (about 30 minutes).
- As the dough rises, preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Once risen, uncover the dish, mix Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese with 2 cups of tomato sauce and cover the dough completely. Add more sauce if needed.
- Sprinkle half of the grated mozzarella and torn basil over the top and bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella, and bake until the cheese is melted and dough is cooked through (about another 10 minutes).
- Let it sit briefly, sprinkle with remaining basil, and serve.
Tips for Success
- Ensure your oven is fully preheated before baking to achieve the perfect texture.
- Chill the dough briefly before shaping to make it easier to handle.
Additional Tips or Variations
Feel free to add your favorite pizza toppings like pepperoni, olives, or mushrooms to customize your bubble up pizza. For a spicier kick, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
