Bread: Easy Pizza Crust
Source of Recipe
unknown
List of Ingredients
2 tablespoons baking yeast -- (or 2 packets)
2 teaspoons sugar -- or honey
4 tablespoons oil
2 cups warm water
6 cups flour -- up to 7
Recipe
1. Combine first three ingredients in a HUGE bowl. Sprinkle all of
the warm water (needs to be a bit hot so yeast will activate, not
lukewarm!)
2. Let mixture foam for at least 5 minutes
3. Mix in most of the flour (I mix in the first 5 cups, then add a
little at a time until it is the right consistency, not too stiff).
Knead for a few minutes until elastic.
4. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes. You can use it immediately or
let it rise till double (45-60 minutes), punch down, rise again for 30
min, like other yeast dough recipes. I have made this recipe hundreds
of times, it rises just fine after the 10 minute rest, but if you
can't get to it right away, just treat it like other yeast doughs and
let it rise twice.
5. Oil a cookie sheet or pizza pan, roll out dough (I mush it right
in the pan!) put in pan, add sauce and toppings.
6. Bake at 425 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
Kim's note: I use this recipe for calzone dough, hot pockets, pigs in
blankets, soft pretzels, cinnamon rolls, you name it!
