Pizza Dough
Occasionally I will make my own pizza for family night. I've tried a lot of different crust recipes and this is kind of my conglomeration of what I have learned and like best. This recipe makes 3 medium size pizzas which is perfect for us.
Pizza Dough
4 cups Unbleached Flour
3 tbsp Raw Sugar
3 1/2 tsp Active Dry Yeast
3/4 tsp Pink Salt
1 1/2 cup Warm Water
1 1/2 tbsp Olive Oil + more for coating dough
Cornmeal
Preheat oven to 450. In your mixer combine flour, sugar, yeast and salt.
Slowly add water and oil. Dough should pull away from the sides of the bowl. Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead till smooth. Transfer the dough back to the mixing bowl and cover with plastic wrap.
Let it rise in a warm place for 15 minutes. Divide the dough into three pieces. Knead the dough a few more times and shape it into desired shape. On a large baking sheet or pizza stone sprinkle cornmeal, cover and let rise for another 10 minutes. Brush the dough with olive oil and bake for 5 minutes. When it comes out decorate with desired sauce and toppings and bake for another 5 minutes and it's done.
Ideals are like pizza dough, made to be tossed around.
