Neat Pizza Pizza Dough Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix warm water and 1 teaspoon sugar; add yeast and whisk until dissolved. Let stand until bubbles form on surface. In a large bowl, whisk 3 cups flour, salt, remaining 1 teaspoon sugar and, if desired, dried herbs. Make a well in center; add yeast mixture and oil. Stir until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. , Turn onto a floured surface; knead, adding more flour to surface as needed until no longer sticky and dough is smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a large greased bowl; turn once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes; transfer bowl to refrigerator and chill overnight. Allow dough to come to room temperature, about 30 minutes, before rolling.

Steps:

• Combine the water and salt in a large bowl and stir to dissolve the salt. Add the yeast and stir until dissolved. Add the flour and use your hands to stir and knead gently until the dough just comes together and all the flour is incorporated, about 2 minutes. Cover and let rest for 20 minutes.
• Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour and turn the dough out onto it. Knead the dough until a smooth ball forms, about 2 minutes. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled dough box or a bowl and cover with a tightly fitting lid or cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let rise until slightly puffy, about 1 hour.
• Gently transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and divide the dough into four even pieces for 12-inch pizzas. (If you want larger pizzas divide the dough into three balls.) Form the pieces into compact balls and transfer to a lightly floured dough box or baking sheet; leave plenty of space between each ball for them to expand. Lightly flour the tops and cover the balls with a lid or plastic wrap. Let rise at room temperature until puffy and nearly doubled in size, about 7 hours (see Cook's Note). Form and bake as desired.

Steps:

• To make a 14" pizza:.
• Combine the following ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir briefly:.
• 3/4 cup warm water (90-110 F).
• 4 teaspoon sugar (brown or white).
• 1 tespoon pure olive oil (or extra virgin).
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (or salt salt).
• Add add the following ingredients to the mixing bowl:.
• 2 cups high gluten flour aka patent flour (or bread flour or all purpose).
• 1 teaspoon active dry yeast.
• If you have a stand mixer, mix for 8 minutes or so on a low to medium speed. If the dough gets stuck on the hook turn off the mixer and remove. Mix until nothing sticks to the bowl. The dough should be sticky to the touch, but not stick to you. And of course add more flour if the dough is not stiff enough. Mix until a cohesive ball forms.
• For those of you with hand mixers, good luck. Find those dough hooks and get to work. Mix dough until a cohesive ball forms. Turn over onto a floured surface and kneed into a ball if you must.
• Lastly if you have neither a hand mixer or stand mixer, but do have a wooden spoon. try mixing your dough adding half a cup to your mixture at a time.
• After your dough is mixed form a ball with it and place it in an olive-oiled (1 tsp) circular container such as a bowl for it to rise. Make sure that said container is at least twice as large as your dough ball will grow. Cover your container with foil or a plate or towel or t shirt or seran wrap. Let your dough rise until it doubles in size (45 minutes - 1 hour). If you have the time put your dough in the refidgerator over night as it will gain flavor and texture.
• When you're ready to prepare your pizza pre heat your oven to 450 F and flop your dough ball onto your floured counter and pat it slap it spread it into a shape that you like. Try kind of working on the dough circularly working around an axis and expanding from there. Consider the fact that your dough will expand in the oven and adjust the thickness accordingly. Use a rolling pin if you want to. I've used a wine bottle as a rolling pin to get the dough to spread out evenly.
• After sprinkling surface with cornmeal or flour, put your crust onto a pizza pan, cookie sheet, or (preheated) pizza stone and then take liberty to dress your pizza in sauce and cheese and all of your dreams. We made our sauce from scratch and you can too! We mixed one part provalone to two parts mozzarella.
• Cook your pizza at 450 F for 12-15 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
• I like to brush the crust with melted butter and minced garlic when i take it out of the oven. After that i sprinkle parmesan all over the pizza.
• Go crazy with your pizza. Try substituting white flour with potato flour, semolina flour, hemp flour, rye flour, or wheat flour. Try substituting sugar with honey or malt instead of sugar. Try not using sugar at all! Try using beer instead of water. Get freaky with your toppings. Try halibut, potatoes, carrots, mangoes, or corn! Zucchini, squash, and sweet potatoes! Mix gorganzola with mozzarella and provolone with piccarino. Crack eggs on your pizza when it's half-cooked for a breakfast pizza!
• Pizza is a vehicle of awesomeness. If it's awesome you can probably put it on a pizza.

Steps:

• Combine the bread flour, sugar, yeast and kosher salt in the bowl of a stand mixer and combine. While the mixer is running, add the water and 2 tablespoons of the oil and beat until the dough forms into a ball. If the dough is sticky, add additional flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together in a solid ball. If the dough is too dry, add additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead into a smooth, firm ball.
• Grease a large bowl with the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil, add the dough, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put it in a warm area to let it double in size, about 1 hour. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 2 equal pieces. Cover each with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let them rest for 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine 1 1/2 cup (187.5 g) of flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
• Add olive oil and warm water and use a wooden spoon to stir well very well.
• Add any additional flour as needed, stirring until the dough is forming into a cohesive, elastic ball and is beginning to pull away from the sides of the bowl. The dough will still be slightly sticky but still should be manageable with your hands.
• Drizzle a separate, large, clean bowl generously with olive oil and use a pastry brush to brush up the sides of the bowl.
• Lightly dust your hands with flour and form your pizza dough into a round ball and transfer to your olive oil-brushed bowl.
• Allow dough to rise for 30 minutes or until doubled in size. If you intend to bake this dough into a pizza, I also recommend preheating your oven to 425F (215C) at this point so that it will have reached temperature once your pizza is ready to bake.
• Once the dough has risen, use your hands to gently deflate it and transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead briefly until smooth (about 3-5 times). Use either your hands or a rolling pin to work the dough into 12" circle.
• Use a fork to poke holes all over the center of the pizza to keep the dough from bubbling up in the oven.
• Add desired toppings and bake in a 425F (215C) preheated oven for 13-15 minutes or until toppings are golden brown. Slice and serve.
