Categories     Breads

Time 40m

Yield 2 pizzas, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 ounces fast rise yeast (package)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 cup water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • In a mixer bowl, combine 1 cup flour, yeast and salt; mix well.
  • Combine water and oil; heat to 120 - 130 F, add to flour mixture.
  • Blend at low speed until moistened; beat 3 minutes at medium speed. By hand, gradually stir in enough remaining flour to make a firm dough. Knead on floured surface 3 - 5 minutes.
  • Divide dough into 2 parts. With well-floured or greased fingers, press each half into greased 12 or 14-inch pizza pan. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of your favorite shredded cheese over dough to prevent a soggy crust.
  • Spread prepared pizza sauce on each pizza (approximately 3/4 cup of sauce per pizza).
  • Add your favorite toppings. Cover with shredded cheese of your choice.
  • Bake at 400°F for 25 - 30 minutes (see NOTE below) until edge is crisp and light golden brown and cheeses are melted. Serve immediately.
  • Note: It may not take the full time. In my oven, it was about 20 minutes.

ROBERTA'S PIZZA DOUGH



Roberta's Pizza Dough image

This recipe, adapted from Roberta's, the pizza and hipster haute-cuisine utopia in Bushwick, Brooklyn, provides a delicate, extraordinarily flavorful dough that will last in the refrigerator for up to a week. It rewards close attention to weight rather than volume in the matter of the ingredients, and asks for a mixture of finely ground Italian pizza flour (designated "00" on the bags and available in some supermarkets, many specialty groceries and always online) and regular all-purpose flour. As ever with breads, rise time will depend on the temperature and humidity of your kitchen and refrigerator. Our Greatest Pizza Recipes

Time 20m

Yield Two 12-inch pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 5

153 grams 00 flour (1 cup plus 1 tablespoon)
153 grams all-purpose flour (1 cup plus 1 tablespoon and 2 teaspoons)
8 grams fine sea salt (1 teaspoon)
2 grams active dry yeast (3/4 teaspoon)
4 grams extra-virgin olive oil (1 teaspoon)

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine flours and salt.
  • In a small mixing bowl, stir together 200 grams (a little less than 1 cup) lukewarm tap water, the yeast and the olive oil, then pour it into flour mixture. Knead with your hands until well combined, approximately 3 minutes, then let the mixture rest for 15 minutes.
  • Knead rested dough for 3 minutes. Cut into 2 equal pieces and shape each into a ball. Place on a heavily floured surface, cover with dampened cloth, and let rest and rise for 3 to 4 hours at room temperature or for 8 to 24 hours in the refrigerator. (If you refrigerate the dough, remove it 30 to 45 minutes before you begin to shape it for pizza.)
  • To make pizza, place each dough ball on a heavily floured surface and use your fingers to stretch it, then your hands to shape it into rounds or squares. Top and bake.
