Fail Proof Pizza Dough And Cheesy Garlic Bread Sticks Recipes

Steps:

• 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.
• 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, turn the mixer on high to knead for 6 minutes. Turn a timer on and walk away! Resist the temptation to stop earlier than 6 minutes!
• 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!
• You can turn the dough into anything; pizza crust, cheesy bread, calzone anything you would like.
• If you want to make a stuffed crust pizza I use cheese sticks, just roll the crust out enough to be bigger than the pizza stone. Wrap the crust over the cheese sticks.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the hot water, yeast, honey and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes.
• In a separate bowl measure out the all purpose and whole wheat flour and give it a quick stir to combine.
• Add 1 ½ cups of the flour, along with the salt and garlic powder, to the water and yeast mixture. Mix by hand until smooth. Continue adding the rest of the flour, about 1/4 cup at a time, working the dough after each addition, until dough is smooth. You may not need all of the flour.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until the dough is smooth but still slightly tacky, about 3 minutes.
• In a large mixing bowl add remaining olive oil. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat with the oil. Cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm, draft-free place until double in size (about 1 to 1 ½ hours).
• Pound the dough down and divide into 2 balls to make two 8" pizzas, or keep as one large ball to make a 16" pizza. Let dough sit for 5 minutes.
• Roll dough out to desired size and let sit for 20 minutes to allow the crust to rise a little before adding toppings.
• Add desired sauce, toppings and cheese.
• Cook on a preheated pizza stone on lowest rack at 450 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
