Recipe Introduction

Yield: 2 pizza

List of Ingredients

2 pk Dry yeast
2/3 c Warm water
2 ts Sugar
2 c Cold water
3 tb Corn oil
2 tb Sugar
1/4 ts Garlic salt
1 ts Salt
1/2 ts Dry oregano leaves
6 1/2 To 7 c all-purpose flour




Recipe


Sprinkle yeast over warm water and stir in the sugar.
Let stand about 5 minutes or until very bubbly.
Combine the remaining ingredients with about half of
the flour, beating to a smooth batter. Beat in the
yeast mixture and then with a sturdy spoon work in
remaining flour until you can toss it lightly on a
floured surface and knead it until it feels elastic in
texture. The kneading may require abaout 2/3 cup
additional flour, that you will be coating your hand
with as you knead the dough. Don't let the dough
become too stiff and yet you don't want it to stick to
your hands. Place it in a large plastic food bag,
which you can spray inside with Pam or wipe the inside
of it with oil and place the ball of kneaded douogh in
this to rise until doubled in bulk. Be sure the
plastic bag is large enough that it will permit the
dough to double without splitting the bag. You can
place the bag of dough on a warm, sunny spot on the
table or kitchen counter which helps it to raise
quickly and if it's summertime, place the bag of dough
(with open end sealed tightly with tape) in your car
with the windows up! When dough has doubled, punch it
down and shape it to fit two 15" round pizza pans that
have been greased and dusted in cornmeal. Add the
sauce and topping ingredients exactly in the order
listed above, spreading each ingredients evenly over
the dough. Let this rise about 20 minutes in a warm
place and then bake at 450~, about 20 to 25 minutes,
putting one pizza at a time on center rack of the
preheated oven. If you don't want a pizza-pizza and
you can only handle one of them, wrap the second pizza
in foil or plastic and seal it with tape to lock out
all air. Freeze it before it rises the last time.
After letting it thaw 30 ,omites, you can bake as
directed above. Source:
