School Cafeteria Pizza Slice Recipe

American · Main course · 45 min total

A nostalgic, square-cut pizza with a thick, bready crust, tangy tomato sauce, and melty mozzarella cheese, just like the one from your school lunch line.

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup warm water (110°F)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add warm water and olive oil; stir until smooth. Stir in remaining flour to form a soft dough.
2. Knead on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
3. Preheat oven to 425°F. Grease a 13x18-inch baking sheet.
4. Punch down dough and press into the prepared pan, stretching to edges. Let rest 10 minutes.
5. In a small bowl, mix tomato sauce, tomato paste, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and sugar. Spread evenly over dough.
6. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses evenly over sauce.
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
8. Let cool for 5 minutes, then cut into 8 rectangular slices.

Tips

• For extra authenticity, use low-moisture mozzarella and let the pizza sit for 10 minutes before cutting.
• Store leftovers in the fridge; reheat in a toaster oven for best texture.
• Add pepperoni or cooked ground beef if desired, but classic school pizza is plain cheese.
