4¼ cup Bread flour

Preheat oven to 500°F for 30 minutes 1. Combine the milk, water, salt and sugar in a mixing bowl and heat to 110°F.

4. After mixing, cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap and let it rise twice, each time letting it double in bulk before knocking it down.

5. After the dough has risen twice, turn it onto a floured surface. Divide the dough into 3 equal portions of about 11 ounces each.

6. Form into rounds. Let them rest for 10 minutes, then form into round pizza shapes. Shape the dough so the majority of the dough is in the center then let the dough over your fist and shake it and stretch it to the size you want.

7. Place the dough on baking pan or well cornmeal coated wooden bakers peel and transfer the dough to the oven baking bricks.

8. Note: the dough will be slightly sticky, don't add extra flour, this is the way it should be.

9. Put on topping of your choice and bake for 10 minutes at 500°F until it is puffed up and golden brown in color.
