Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet lined with parchment paper
  • 1 pizza stone optional, for a crispier crust
  • 1 Rolling Pin

Ingredients
  

Pizza Dough

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet active dry yeast 2 1/4 tsp
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3/4 cup warm water

Toppings

  • 2 medium apples thinly sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese grated
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, and salt. Gradually add warm water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 10 minutes until smooth.
  • Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until doubled in size.
  • Preheat your oven to 425°F. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat as well.
  • Once risen, roll the dough out on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer to a prepared baking sheet or pizza stone.
  • Arrange apple slices evenly over the dough. Sprinkle with grated cheddar cheese and scatter thyme leaves on top.

Serving

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
  • Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve warm.

Storage

  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven for best results.
