Makes 1 (16-inch) pizza
Ingredients
  • 2½ cups (313 grams) Bob’s Red Mill Organic All-Purpose Flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1 cup (155 grams) Bob’s Red Mill Semolina Flour, plus more for dusting
  • 2½ teaspoons (7.5 grams) kosher salt, plus more for salting tomatoes
  • 2 teaspoons (6 grams) instant yeast
  • 2 teaspoons (8 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1¼ cups (300 grams) warm water (120°F/49°C to 130°F/54°C)
  • 5 tablespoons (70 grams) extra-virgin olive oil, divided 1 tablespoon (10 grams) minced garlic
  • 1 pound (454 grams) heirloom tomatoes
  • ¾ cup (85 grams) shredded fontina cheese
  • ½ cup (57 grams) shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups (226 grams) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • Garnish: fresh basil, crushed red pepper, flaked sea salt
Instructions
  1. Position oven rack in bottom third of oven. Place pizza stone in cold oven. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Let stone heat for 1 hour before using.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, semolina flour, kosher salt, yeast, and sugar. Make a well in center; add 1¼ cups (300 grams) warm water and 2 tablespoons (28 grams) oil. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, stir until a shaggy dough forms. Turn out dough onto a heavily floured surface. Using floured hands, flatten dough until about 1 inch thick. Fold dough in half toward you; using heels of your hands, push dough away. Turn 90 degrees, and repeat flattening, folding, and pushing until smooth and elastic, 5 to 6 minutes, lightly flouring work surface and hands as needed.
  3. Lightly oil a large bowl. Place dough in bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place (75°F/24°C) until doubled in size, 30 to 45 minutes.
  4. Place a rimmed baking sheet upside down, and heavily dust with semolina flour. (Alternatively, use a cookie sheet heavily dusted with semolina flour.)
  5. In a small bowl, combine minced garlic and remaining 3 tablespoons (42 grams) oil. Set aside.
  6. Using a serrated knife, slice tomatoes ⅛ to ¼ inch thick, and place in a single layer on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt. (If you run out of space, place a layer of paper towels on top of tomatoes, and top with remaining tomato slices).
  7. Punch down dough, and let stand for 5 minutes. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface, and using floured hands, press dough out until about 1 inch thick. Using floured hands, stretch dough into a 16x12-inch oval. Place on prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush garlic oil onto dough. Sprinkle with fontina, Parmesan, and 1 cup (113 grams) mozzarella, leaving a ½ -inch border around edges.
  8. Lightly brush remaining garlic oil onto tomato slices; place on top of cheese, overlapping as needed. Top with remaining 1 cup (113 grams) mozzarella. Slide pizza directly onto pizza stone. (See Note.)
  9. Bake until crust is golden and cheese is melted, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with basil, red pepper, and sea salt, if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
You can pull your preheated pizza stone out of the oven and place on a heat resistant surface to transfer your pizza onto the stone outside of the oven. Then place the pizza stone back into the oven for baking.
