Wolfgang Puck's Pizza
1 package active dry or fresh yeast
1 t. honey or sugar
3/4 C. warm water (105 to 115�F)
2 3/4 C. all-purpose flour
1 t. salt
2 T. olive oil (or Chili and Garlic Oil, plus additional for brushing. Recipe
below)
Topping of your choice (See Vegetable Topping below)
In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and honey in 1/4 cup of the warm water.
In a mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the flour and the salt. Pour in 2
tablespoons of the oil and when absorbed, scrape in the dissolved yeast. Add the
remaining 1/2 cup of water and knead on low speed about 5 minutes.
Turn out onto a board and knead 2 or 3 minutes longer. Dough should be smooth
and firm. Let rise in a warm spot, covered with a damp towel, about 30 minutes.
(Dough will stretch when lightly pulled.)
Divide the dough into 4 balls, about 6 ounces each. Work each ball by pulling
down the sides and tucking under the bottom of the ball. Repeat 4 or 5 times.
Then on a smooth unfloured surface, roll the ball under the palm of your hand
until the dough is smooth and firm, about 1 minute. Cover with a damp towel and
let rest 15 to 20 minutes. At this point, the balls can be loosely covered with
plastic wrap and refrigerated for 1 to 2 days.
Preheat the oven to 525�F. Place a pizza stone in the oven.
To prepare each pizza, place a ball of dough on a lightly floured surface. Press
down on the center, spreading the dough, or roll a 7 - 8-inch circle, with the
outer border a little thicker than the inner circle. Brush lightly with oil and
arrange the topping o your choice only over the inner circle.
Arrange the pizza on the baking stone and bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until the
pizzas are nicely browned. Transfer to a firm surface and cut into slices with a
pizza cutter. Serve immediately.
