Step-by-Step Instruction For This Mouthwatering Bar Pizza

Making bar pizza is a bit critical. The procedure is not entirely similar to a normal pizza recipe. But if you follow the steps properly, you should be just fine.

So let’s get to it-

Step 1: Preheat the Baking Steel and Place the Dough

Preheat the Baking Steel for 1 hour on the top rack at 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Start working with your dough while it’s heating up.

Apply olive oil to the bottom of the bar pizza dough. Make a ten-inch circle out of your dough. Since the pizza needs to be really crunchy at the bottom, you have to fry it.

To do so, lightly grease your pan with oil.

To do so, lightly grease your pan with oil. Place the dough in the pan with care, stretching it to cover the whole bottom of the pan. Press down the dough. It should stretch around 14 inches up the pan’s sides.

The reason you should buy a bar pizza dough is that it helps you save a lot of time. Also, bar pizza dough has a different and long procedure. You don’t want to get into that.

Step 2: Add Sauce and Cheese to Your Dough

Distribute tomato sauce evenly over the dough’s surface. Stretch the dough all the way to the pan’s edges. Lynwood pizza sauce has the smell of rosemary in it.

Spread the cheese mixture equally over the surface of the pizza, then top with your desired toppings. Or you can mix two of your favorite cheeses. But make sure, one of the cheeses has to be sharp.

Step 3: Add Toppings To Your Pizza

Lynwood cafe uses different toppings each time you would order. There are no fixed toppings. Their tradition is to switch from one to another.

So use whatever ingredients you want to use from Onions, Green Pepper, Hot Peppers/Broccoli. You can also add Mushrooms/Anchovy/Salami/Hamburger chunks/Pepperoni/Linguica. Also, you can add Sausage/Boston Baked Beans/Sliced meatballs/BBQ chicken strips. These are the toppings bars usually use on their pizza.

To hold the true essence of bars, cut the ingredients really small. Lynwood Cafe cuts them to ⅜ diameters.

Step 4: Bake the Pizza

Wear oven gloves and lower your pan into the baking steel. After that, bake for 8 to 9 minutes. Take the pizza out of the oven then take it out of the pan gently. Place it on a pizza peel that has been lightly floured.

Using the peel, toss the pizza directly onto the Baking Steel. Cook for a further 1-2 minutes, or until the bottom is crisp.

Carefully take it out of the oven when it’s done. The pizza will be tender, with a crunchy bottom but a light center. The cheese on the edge will be toasted.

So, here’s your Lynwood special bar pizza recipe.
