FAIL-PROOF PIZZA DOUGH & CHEESY GARLIC BREAD STICKS RECIPE - (4/5)



Fail-Proof Pizza Dough & Cheesy Garlic Bread Sticks Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by markemilw

Number Of Ingredients 14

PIZZA DOUGH:
1 cup warm water
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 tablespoon honey (or sugar)
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons olive or canola oil
3 cups bread flour (give or take 1/2 cup)
CHEESE GARLIC BREAD STICKS:
1/2 recipe Fail-Proof Pizza Dough from above
2 tablespoons softened salted butter
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 pound grated mozzarella cheese
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • PIZZA DOUGH: In a large mixing bowl, preferably that of a stand mixer, stir yeast and honey into warm water. Sit for 5 to 10 minutes or until bubbles form and mixture starts to foam. This tells you that the yeast is alive and kicking. Pour in salt, oil and half the flour and mix. Once that flour is incorporated, start adding flour in bit by bit until you get the pizza dough to the consistency you want: slightly tacky, but when you touch it it doesn't stick to your hands. Once you reach this stage, turn the mixer on high to knead for 6 minutes. Turn a timer on and walk away! Resist the temptation to stop earlier than 6 minutes! That seems to be the magical number. The dough should be smooth and easy to work with and the bowl should be clean! Lightly grease the bowl & the dough so it doesn't dry out, cover with plastic wrap and let it rise 1to 2 hours. CHEESY GARLIC BREAD STICKS: Preheat oven to 500°F with pizza stone inside. Mix butter and garlic in a small bowl and set aside. Spread pizza dough out into a 12-inch circle on parchment paper. (This makes it easier to transfer to the pizza stone.) Spread the butter and garlic mixture over dough and top with parmesan and mozzarella cheeses. Top with a light sprinkling of salt and pepper, if desired. Bake 9 to 10 minutes or until bubbly and golden. Remove from oven and cool 1 to 2 minutes before cutting. Serve hot, with marinara.

Tips for Perfect Cheesy Pizza Dough:

  • Use high-quality ingredients, especially for the cheese. Freshly grated mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses provide the best flavor and texture.
  • Make sure the water is lukewarm, not hot, when you add it to the yeast. Hot water can kill the yeast, preventing it from rising properly.
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes. This will help develop the gluten in the flour and give the dough a chewy texture.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place for at least 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to work and produce carbon dioxide gas, which will create air pockets in the dough and make it light and airy.
  • When rolling out the dough, use a light touch and avoid overworking it. This will help prevent the dough from becoming tough.
  • Bake the pizza at a high temperature, at least 450°F, for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Cheesy pizza dough is a delicious and versatile option for homemade pizza. With just a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a pizza dough that is perfect for your favorite toppings. Whether you like your pizza thin and crispy or thick and chewy, there is a cheesy pizza dough recipe out there to suit your taste. So next time you're in the mood for pizza, why not try making your own dough? You won't be disappointed.
