HOME-MADE PIZZA DOUGH

Recipe Introduction


Fatkat



List of Ingredients




3 to 3-1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 package rapid rise yeast (regular yeast does not work well with this recipe)
3/4 tsp salt
1 cup very warm water (125°-130°)
2 TBS olive oil
cornmeal for dusting

Recipe



In a large glass or metal bowl, combine 2 cups of the flour, dry yeast and salt. Stir to combine. Add warm water and olive oil to the flour mixture. Stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Turn out onto a floured counter and knead dough until very smooth and elastic, usually about 4-6 minutes. Shape into a round ball and cover with the same bowl you mixed the ingredients in. Let rest for at least 10 minutes.

Now you can use the entire ball of dough for one large pizza or 2 smaller ones. My guys like thick crust so I make one large one.

Lightly oil pizza stone or pan and dust with cornmeal. Roll dough to fit pan(s). I usually just use my fingers to stretch the dough. I also lightly oil the top of the dough and sprinkle it with Penzeys Pizza Seasoning (excellent stuff by the way).

Add your toppings and bake. I bake mine at 450° but the recipe says 400°. Bake for around 20 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.

This is one of those recipes were you will just have trial and error. It took me years to finally get it where we like it.
