• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

3. Step-by-Step Instructions for Making Kent Pizza

Step 1: Prepare the Dough – The Foundation of a Great Kent Pizza

To begin crafting your kent pizza, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl. Allow it to sit for about 5-10 minutes until it’s foamy. This crucial step ensures your yeast is active and ready to create a light, airy crust. Next, in another bowl, mix flour and salt. Gradually add the yeast mixture and olive oil into the flour, mixing until you form a dough. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic. For an extra flavorful dough, consider adding garlic powder or Italian seasoning while kneading. Let the dough rise in a warm place – that’s the very first step of creating a delicious kent pizza!

Step 2: Spread the Sauce – Key to Kent Pizza Flavor

Once your dough has risen (about 1 hour), preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface into your desired shape. Transfer to a pizza peel or a baking sheet. Spread a generous layer of pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a little space at the edges for the crust. For an authentic kent pizza experience, use a high-quality marinara sauce or even try making your own from scratch!

Step 3: Add Toppings – Customize Your Kent Pizza

Now, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce. Add your favorite toppings on top, like sliced pepperoni, bell peppers, and mushrooms for an extra flavor explosion. The more toppings, the better the kent pizza will be! Feel free to get creative with your toppings – consider adding olives, onions, or even a sprinkle of parmesan cheese for added depth. This is your chance to make your kent pizza truly unique like the BC St. Ignace Pizza!

Step 4: Bake and Enjoy Your Fresh Kent Pizza

Carefully slide your pizza into the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown, and the cheese is bubbling. Once baked, remove the pizza and let it cool for a couple of minutes before slicing. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious kent pizza creation! For an even crispier crust, you can place a pizza stone in the oven while it preheats. It’s the perfect complement to a sweet glazed apple fritters!

4. Storage Tips for Kent Pizza Leftovers

If you have leftover kent pizza, place it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can reheat it in the oven for a crispy texture or in a microwave for convenience. For longer storage, consider wrapping individual slices tightly in plastic wrap and freezing them.
