Equipment
- 1 Baking Sheet lined with parchment paper
- 1 Rolling Pin
- 1 Mixing Bowl large
Ingredients
Pizza Dough
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
Toppings
- 2 large apples thinly sliced
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast and warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy. Stir in the flour, olive oil, and salt. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth. Place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- While the dough is rising, thinly slice the apples and grate the cheddar cheese. Set aside.
Serving
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer to a lined baking sheet. Arrange the apple slices evenly over the dough and sprinkle with cheddar cheese and thyme.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling. Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Storage
- Place any leftover pizza slices in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in a preheated oven for best results.
