Pizza-Pizza: Double-Dough Recipe

A Cooking with Kids Original Recipe
Moderate

By using this recipe, you can make ready-to-roll pizza dough in just over an hour. You need an active yeast, a warm place for rising, and some sturdy young hands to knead the dough (a food processor or stand mixer can speed the kneading up, too). This recipe makes enough dough for two large pizzas. Freeze extra dough to make easy pizzas on another day. You can also use this dough to make foccaccia, calzone and breadsticks. See the tips at the bottom of this page.

* Prep time: 15 minutes
* Rise time: 45 to 60 minutes
* Yield: Two 15 to 16-inch pizzas

Ingredients and steps:

* 1 cup warm water
* 1 tablespoon honey or sugar
* 2 teaspoons quick-rising yeast (1 envelope or 1/4 ounce)
* 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for kneading
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus extra for the bowl

1. Measure the warm water; test with an instant-read thermometer to make sure the temperature is between 110 degrees and 115 degrees. Stir in the honey or sugar and the yeast. Let mixture sit for 5 minutes until bubbly.

2. To mix the dough with a food processor:

2a Using the plastic dough blade, add 3 cups of flour and the salt to the bowl. Pulse 2 or 3 times to mix. With the machine running, pour the yeast mixture and olive oil through the feed tube until ingredients form a ball. Feel the dough. If it's sticky, process in more flour a tablespoon at a time. If it's dry and mealy, process with single tablespoons of warm water until smooth. Lightly flour a board or kneading surface and knead the dough for 2 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Refer to Figure 17-1.

To mix the dough by hand:

2b Pour 1-1/2 cups flour into a large mixing bowl. Add the yeast mixture and mix well. Stir in the salt and olive oil. Gradually add the remaining flour, stopping when the mixture is smooth, but not too dry. If you add all of the flour and the dough is still sticky, mix in more flour by single tablespoons. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 to 15 minutes, as shown in Figure 17-1. Stop when the dough has a slight sheen and springs back when you poke it. (Keep in mind that too much kneading produces a tough crust and too little kneading makes the dough too dense.)

down, folding, and rotating 1/4 turn

3. Rising the dough: Rub a spoonful of olive oil inside a large bowl. Roll the dough into a ball and place in the bowl, turning to coat with oil. Cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap and leave in a warm place to rise until doubled in bulk, about one hour. Poke the dough with two fingers—if an indentation remains, it has doubled in bulk. Punch the dough down with your fist and roll it into a ball, ready for shaping. You can refrigerate the dough up to 36 hours before using it by punching it down and rolling it into a ball each time it doubles in size. You may also wrap it well and freeze it. (Tip: If you're baking the pizza immediately after it rises, read the baking instructions in Step 5—you want to start heating your oven 30 minutes before the pizza is done rising.)

4. Shaping the dough: Divide the dough into two balls. Shape each ball by gently stretching or pulling with your hands or by flattening with a rolling pin, or a combination of both. Build the edges slightly thicker than the center. Place the shaped dough on a lightly greased pizza pan or baking sheet. Top with your favorite fixings.

5. Baking the dough: Pizzas need high heat to make good, crispy crusts. Start heating your oven at least 30 minutes before baking the pizza. Bake according to the specific pizza recipe you're using, or for 10 to 15 minutes at 500 degrees.

Time Saver

To speed up the dough's rising, set the covered dough bowl in a sink with enough hot tap water to come half-way up the outside of the bowl. Drape a towel over the sink (without it falling in the water) to hold in the steam. The dough will rise quickly and be ready to shape in as little as 45 minutes, but the flavor will be slightly less developed.
Tip

When measuring flour, lightly add it spoonful-by-spoonful into a dry measuring cup, then level it off with a knife or ruler—don't pack it down or you'll have too much.
Time Saver

As long as you have all the ingredients and equipment out, make two separate batches of this dough at the same time. You can make one right after the other, or make a double batch using the same amount of yeast. If tripling the recipe, double the yeast. Allow an extra ten minutes of preparation time to double this recipe.

Pizza Dough

From Every Day with Rachael Ray
April 2007

MAKES ENOUGH FOR THREE PIZZA CRUSTS
Prep Time: 20 min (plus rising)
Ingredients:
One 1/4-ounce packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar

4 1/4 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt

Directions:

1. Place 1 1/2 cups warm water in a medium bowl. Stir in the yeast and sugar and let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes.

2. In a large bowl, combine 3 cups flour and the salt. Make a well in the center, pour in the yeast mixture and stir with a wooden spoon; the dough will feel sticky and elastic. Transfer to a floured work surface and dust with some of the remaining flour. Knead for 7 to 8 minutes, adding flour a little at a time as necessary until the dough is smooth and springy. Wash and dry the bowl, then lightly grease with oil. Return the dough to the bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and cut into thirds; wrap each piece tightly in plastic wrap.

Basic Deep Dish Pizza Crust

1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup olive oil
3 cups bread flour
1 1/2 teaspoons bread machine yeast

Place all of the ingredients in your machines fully assembled pan in the order recommended by your machines manufacturer. Place the pan in your machine. Select the dough cycle and press start. You may need to add some more flour (1 Tbsp. at a time) if the dough is too wet or more water if the dough is too dry (1 Tbsp. at a time).

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Grease a 12-inch deep dish pan with olive oil or spray it with a cooking spray.

After dough has risen one time, roll or hand stretch the dough into a circle so that it will completely cover the bottom of the pan. Pull the dough up around the edges of the pan so that a slight lip is formed. Cover the pan with a towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.

While the dough is rising, prepare your toppings and grate your cheese; set aside.

Prick the dough several times with a fork and bake the crust for 5 minutes.

Remove the crust from the oven, and using a brush or your fingers, lightly cover the crust with olive oil. Layer the ingredients in this order; sauce, cheese, meats, vegetables and seasonings. Leave a 1/2 inch border around the rim of the pizza.

Place pizza on bottom rack of the oven and bake for 5 minutes, after which time, either move the pizza to the upper part of the oven or lower the temperature to 400 degrees F. Bake for another 25 to 30 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.

BASIC PIZZA SAUCE

8 fresh plum tomatoes
1 clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
salt and pepper (to taste)

Seed tomatoes and process in a blender or food processor until they are chopped coarsely. Stir in the garlic and seasonings.

If using on pizza right away it doesn't need to be cooked.

If it will be refrigerated or frozen, simmer sauce over low heat for 5 to 10 minutes.

Bread Machine Pizza Dough
misc.consumers.frugal-living/Leggewie (1998)

My kids BEG for homemade pizza. They hate pizzeria pizzas and LOVE mine (what a great deal, eh?). I make a huge pizza dough on manual that feeds 5 of us (2 adults and kids 3, 5, & 8). Cost me maybe $2.50 to make it. It takes me about 10 minutes of hands on work. 3 minutes to dump everything in, then I come back in and hour, turn on the oven, roll out the pizza dough, put on the toppings, and bake for 15 minutes. I can have pizza in 1 hour and 15 minutes with only 10 minutes of work...my kind of meal! - Mary

Pizza Dough

1 1/2 tsp yeast (buy in bulk at club stores)
3 cups flour (bread machine flour bought in bulk at club store)
1 1/2 tsp oregano crumbled up (or a little less...for some reason this ingredient makes a fluffy, light crust)
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp oil (I use olive)
1 cup water, heated to 120 degrees in the microwave

Put on manual, turbo speed, white dough. I let it run for an hour, take it out and roll, and roll, and roll...you have to let it sit a minute in between rolling so it stretches out and doesn't spring back...it's very elastic. Spray your pan with butter spray. I use a huge baker's cookie sheet, must be about 20x15-inches and get the dough real thin. Top with Pizza Quick or spaghetti sauce (not too much) and cheese, as well as onions or whatever...

If this is too big, here is a smaller size:

1 tsp yeast
2 cups flour
1 tsp Oregano
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp oil
2/3 cup water

Enjoy! I was able to run an assembly line for one kid's birthday...as soon as the initial kneading was done, I pulled it out and put it in the oven to rise in an oiled pan, and made two more like that. I made 3 pizzas and saved myself about $30 or so! I think I spent $10 for all the pizza stuff, and the kids thought I made the best pizza in the world!
