Pizza Dough Mix
2 3/4 cups bread flour
1 package active dry yeast
2 teaspoons salt
Combine all and store in airtight container. For gift giving, give
with pizza pan, pizza sauce, bottle of olive oil, and Parmesan or
mozzarella cheese. Or, combine with wooden pizza peel and a pizza
cutter.
Pizza (makes 2 12" pizzas): 1 package pizza dough mix, 2 tbl. olive
oil, 1 c. warm water, 1 c. tomato sauce, 1/2 c. grated mozzarella,
1/3 c. fresh grated Parmesan, 1 tsp crushed oregano, 2 tbl. olive
oil. Place pizza dough mix in large bowl and add the oil and water.
Beat with a wooden spoon or dough hook until the mixture forms a
ball. Turn out onto a floured board and knead for about 5 minutes.
Transfer to a greased bowl and let the dough rise for 90 minutes.
Divide the dough in half and pat into two 12 inch circles. If you
prefer a thin crust, fill and bake the pizzas now; if you prefer a
thicker crust, let the pizzas rise 30-45 minutes. Top the pizza
dough with tomato sauce, cheeses of your choice, crushed oregano,
and olive oil drizzled over the pizzas. Preheat the oven and bake at
425�F for 20-25 minutes., or until the crust is golden and cheeses
are melted. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting. |
