Title: Traditional Pizza Dough 1
Categories: Pizza, Breads
Yield: 12 servings
1/4 c Water (110 to 115 Degrees
-F.)
1/2 ts Sugar
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 pk Active Dry Yeast
1/4 c Warm Water (110 to 115
-Degrees F.)
1 tb Olive Oil (Room Temperature)
1 1/2 c Unbleached Flour
Additional Flour Additional Water
HAND METHOD:
Pour the first 1/4 Cup of water into a medium bowl and add the sugar
and salt, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over
the water mixture, stirring once to blend and let sit for 5 minutes
until the top is bubbly and the yeast has bloomed. Stir in the
remaining warm water and the oil. Place the flour in a large bowl
and add the water and oil mixture to it. Stir, adding enough flour
to make a soft dough that will pull away from the sides of the
bowl. If it is too dry, add a little water a tbls at a time.
Turn the dough out on a well-floured work surface, sprinkle the top
with a little additional flour. Knead until it become very springy,
elastic and very smooth. It should be light in weight, if it is
heavy, you have use too much flour and it will not raise properly.
Form into a smooth ball and let rest on the work surface while you
wash and clean the large bowl. Spray with a non-stick spray. Put the
ball of dough into the bowl and turn it over to get some of the spray
on the top. Cover with plastic wrap or a warm, damp, clean dishtowel.
Let the dough rise in a warm, draft free place until double in
volume, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
If the dough rises before you are ready, punch it down in the bowl by
kneading making sure all of the air is gone. Turn it over and
reshape it into a ball and let rise again. If the top is dry, use a
little olive oil to grease it. You can punch the dough down and
cover the bowl and keep the dough refrigerated for up to two days
before letting it rise at room temperature.
For a thin, crisp pizza crust punch the dough down and turn out and
spread over a pizza pan or baking sheet or a bakers peel. Cover with
filling and topping, baking at once.
For thicker, softer pizza crust punch the dough down and turn out
shaping as above and then cover lightly with a clean dishtowel. Let
rise about 30 minutes before covering with filling and topping.
Makes enough dough for one 12 to 14 inch round pizza, two 7 to 8- inch
round pizzas or one oblong pizza, or one dozen appetizer-sized pizzas.
