- 2 cups warm water
- 1 Tbsp yeast
- 1 tsp sugar
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp salt
- 5 cups all purpose flour bread flour is fine too
- 4-6 cups grated mozzarella (depends on size of your dough and how much cheese you like)
- 1-2 cups parmesan cheese

- When done rising, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly flour work surface and dump dough out, cut dough in half.
- Lightly press each section of dough into a large rectangle with your fingertips. Then use a rolling pin to make a larger, thinner rectangle about 1/4-1/2 inch in thickness.
