thank you so much :)

Answer 1

The first thing u should know about making dough - it doesnt matter how much flour u use the yeast should always be 1and 1/2 Tbls spoons with 1stp of sugar mixed with tepid water ( by this i mean it should be hot enough to hold your finger in for the count of 10) and a little bit of flour mix to a med. paste and lfet to rise in a warm spot- I put it in the microwave. when it is all puffy add to 4 cups of flour 1Tbl olive oil and water approx 300ml and knead in machine - for 5 min - give it time about 4 min before checking consistency. shouldnt be sticky but should be pliable - the longer you leave to rise the beter - I put mine in an oil plastic bag and cover iwth a towel leave in a warm spot for at least one hour - roll out and put onto baking dish - the best is a hot pizza stone - bake in an oven with the bottom heat only until ready about 10 - 12 min in a 200 deg oven

Answer 2

Here is a helpful hint. if you do buy pizza dough from an Italian Bakery.
Start with Fresh dough
Heat oven to 200 degree, until it reaches temp. Turn off.
Take a cookie sheet preferably an old one which as been seasoned with age. If not any will do.
Grease cookie sheet with Crisco(solid shortening).
Take your dough and stretch it at bit.
Place dough in cookie sheet until it fits.
Take a dish towel and cover the dough.
Place cookie sheet in warm oven. Make sure it's off.
Leave for about 15- 20 min.
Remove from oven
Take off the dish towel
Stretch a little bit. You may find some shrinkage. Gently, try to push to sides of pan again.
Heat oven to 375
Season dough with a little olive oil and proceed as you normally would with your favorite toppings.
We find this works really well.

If it is a small cookie sheet I use 1lb. of dough
Larger one I use a package of 2lbs.

PIZZA UNOS DEEP PAN CHICAGO STYLE PIZZA
Source: The Pizza Book: Everything There Is To Know About the World's Greatest Pie by Evelyne Slomon
Servings: 6

FOR THE CRUST:
1 cup warm tap water (110-115 degrees f)
1 pkg active dry yeast
3 1/2 cups flour, divided use
1/2 cup coarse ground cornmeal
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
FOR THE FILLING:
1 lb sausage, removed from the casing and crumbled
1 lb mozzarella cheese, sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (28 oz) can whole tomatoes, drained and coarsely crushed
3 tsp dried oregano (or 5 fresh basil leaves, shredded
4 tbsp freshly grated parmesan

TO PREPARE THE CRUST:
Pour the warm water into a large mixing bowl and dissolve the yeast with a fork. Add 1 cup of flour, all of the cornmeal, salt, and, and vegetable oil. Mix well with a spoon. Continue stirring in the rest of the flour 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough comes away from the sides of the bowl.

Flour your hands and the work surface and knead the ball of dough until it is no longer sticky.

Let the dough rise in an oiled bowl, sealed with plastic wrap, for 45 to 60 minutes in a warm place, until it is doubled in bulk.

Punch dough down and knead it briefly. Press it into an oiled 15-inch deep dish pizza pan, until it comes 2 inches up the sides and is even on the bottom of the pan. Let the dough rise 15-20 minutes before filling.

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.

TO PREPARE THE FILLING:
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling ingredients. Cook the crumbled sausage until it is no longer pink, drain it of its excess fat; set aside.

TO ASSEMBLE AND BAKE:
When the dough has finished its second rising, lay the mozzarella cheese over the dough shell. Then distribute the sausage and garlic over the cheese. Top with the tomatoes. Sprinkle on the seasonings and parmesan cheese.

Bake for 15 minutes at 500 degrees.

Then lower the oven temperature to 400 degrees and bake for 25 to 35 minutes longer. Lift up a section of the crust from time to time with a spatula to check on its color. The crust will be golden brown when done. Serve immediately.


if you get a recipee for pretzil dough for pizza crust pass it along please it sounds good, that is what godfathers pizza crust reminds me of and i am trying to find a recipe for it myself.

Answer 4

i've got made stromboli's and calzones with domicile made pizza dough, loaves of frozen bread dough, and with frozen dinner rolls (Rhodes frozen, 2 rolled jointly consistent with serving). All procedures finally end up an honest stromboli or calzone. there's a average difference in style, yet all products finally end up a scrumptious dinner. I do desire the bread dough purely for ease of use. it quite is a little extra good, making the dough extra handy to artwork with and much less possibly to tear. whilst making a pizza, i'm getting out the bread device and allow it to make the dough for me. I do desire the domicile made crust over bread dough for pizza, yet as for stromboli, i might choose for the frozen bread dough. the excellent wheat form may be outstanding and much extra good than the white form. I easily have have been given to supply this a attempt. :)

Answer 5

Try this go to the grocery store and get a bag of the large burrito size flour totilla shells.
Get out two shells and spray with olive oil on one side of each shell.
Next put 2 Tbls of tomato paste on the non-oiled side of one shell.
Sprinkle italian seasoning, garlic powder and parmesan cheese over the tomato paste.
Top the seasoned sheet with the other shell with oiled side on the toppings.
Now you have a sandwiched pizza shell ready for your sause and toppings.
I like to bake in hot 450 degree oven on a perforated pizza sheet for 12-15 mins.

This requires little effort and you get a thin, crispy pizza crust.
Shhh! Don't let others know your secret unless they pay for it.

Answer 6

The best thing I have found is pita bread. It makes wonderful single size pizzas. Just bake for a few minutes at about 375, then top and bake again.

Answer 7

Answer 8

PIZZA DOUGH RECIPE

4 cups bread or all purpose flour (white)
1 1/4 cups lukewarm water
1 packet active dry yeast, or 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 tablespoons olive oil (any good brand), but extra virgin is best
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar, or 1 teaspoon honey
1/4 cup milk or 1/4 cup water

Preheat oven 450°F.
I prefer using milk for the liquid in this recipe. It adds flavor to your dough. But if you don't have it, use water.

Using a large ceramic mixing bowl, or any suitable food safe bowl, add the flour, make a "well" in middle, and put in 1 teaspoon salt, stir to combine well. Set aside.

Prepare the starter: In a liquid measuring cup pour in 1 1/4 cups lukewarm water, 1 teaspoon sugar or honey, and one package of active dry yeast. Stir and set aside for 5 minutes. Allow to foam up (or proof).

Next, mix the starter (yeast water) and the milk in the bowl containing the flour with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Stir together using a wooden spoon or clean hands.

Note: You will need additional flour to knead on the surface that you're working on. Knead for about 8 minutes or until you get a smooth elastic rubbery dough ball.

Set aside in bowl, drizzle with a little olive oil to keep the dough from drying out. Let dough sit covered lightly with plastic wrap or use a plate or damp clean towel to cover it.

Allow the dough to rise for 30 minutes to an hour. Flatten dough and press out into a circle to fit the pan it will be baked in. Spread it out evenly, don't be afraid to lift underneath to stretch the dough. Sprinkle baking pan with yellow cornmeal or Farina. If you don't have these on hand you can use flour or simply grease the pan with olive oil using a paper towel.

Top with your favorite spaghetti sauce, spreading out using the back of a spoon, then add shredded or sliced mozzarella cheese, and jack or Parmesan cheese.

Layer on some cooked meats, and add pizza style vegetables, such as mushrooms, sliced peppers, and chopped onions.

Bake for about 12-14 mins, but watch it!

When the bottom looks slightly browned and the pizza looks bubbly, remove from oven.

Now enjoy the best pizza you ever had!
