Fail-Proof Pizza Dough
INGREDIENTS
- for the pizza dough-
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon honey {or sugar}
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons olive or canola oil
- 3 cups bread flour {give or take 1/2 cup...depending on the heat & humidity}
INSTRUCTIONS
- For the pizza dough--In a large mixing bowl, preferably that of a stand mixer, stir yeast and honey into warm water. Sit for 5-10 minutes or until bubbles form and mixture starts to foam. This tells you that the yeast is alive and kicking. Pour in salt, oil and half the flour and mix. Once that flour is incorporated, start adding flour in bit by bit until you get the pizza dough to the consistency you want: slightly tacky, but when you touch it it doesn't stick to your hands. Once you reach this stage, knead for 6 minutes. Turn a timer on and walk away! Resist the temptation to stop earlier than 6 minutes! That seems to be the magical number. The dough should be smooth and easy to work with. And the bowl should be clean! {*This is the point when you could freeze your dough!! Divide into portions, place into freezer bags, seal removing all air and freeze. To use, remove from freezer and let sit out to get to room temperature and double in size; 6-8 hours. Then use as you'd like.} Lightly grease the bowl & the dough so it doesn't dry out, cover with plastic wrap and let it rise 1-2 hours. That's it! Use as desired.
THEN here are some of her notes:
Spread lightly w/butter, sprinkle with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. I put on lots of cheese and mini pepperonis. Roll up tightly then slice with string abt 1in thick and bake at 375 for 12-14 minutes. Sprinkle more Italian seasoning on top before baking. Good dipped in marinara!
***A double batch makes 2 pizza rolls, rolled up before its sliced. Make dough and let rise. Divide dough into 2 equal parts and roll out like you do for cinnamon rolls, in a rectangle. After they cool I put them into Ziplocs and freeze. I had to make a quadruple batch this time, my kids pound through them.
