HERB PIZZA DOUGH



Herb Pizza Dough image

Based on a recipe from Williams-Sonoma Kitchen Library Pizza cookbook. The introduction says, "Fresh or dried herbs add an accent of flavor and color to pizza dough. Good choices include oregano, basil, marjoram, chives, thyme, rosemary, sage, mint and fennel seeds, selected to highlight the ingredients that will top the pizza or fill the calzone. Do not go overboard on your selection: It is better to choose two or three complementary herbs, or even just one herb, rather than a large mixed bouquet of clashing flavors."

Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 2h

Yield 1 pizza dough

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon active dry yeast
3/4 cup water, lukewarm (105 degrees F)
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus 1/2 cup for working
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons mixed fresh herbs, minced or 1 tablespoon dried herbs
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Dissolve yeast in the water in a small bowl and let stand until slightly foamy on top, about 10 minutes.
  • In a large bowl stir together the 2 ¾ cups flour, salt, and herbs. Form into a mound. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture to it.
  • Using a fork, stir the dough in a circular motion, gradually pulling the flour into the yeast mixture until a dough forms.
  • Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface using some of the ½ cup flour.
  • Using the heel of your hand, knead the dough until it's smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
  • Form the dough into a ball.
  • Brush a large bowl with the oil and place the dough in it. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature until doubled in size, about 1 to 2 hours.
  • Place dough on work surface lightly dusted with the remaining flour.
  • Punch the dough down.
  • By hand, gently press dough out into desired shape.
  • Place one hand in the center of dough, and with the other hand, pull, lift and stretch the dough, gradually working your way all around the edge, until it is the desired thickness, about ¼ inch thick for a crusty pizza base and ½ inch thick for a softer one.
  • Flip the dough over from time to time as you work with it; alternately, roll the dough out with a rolling pin. The dough should be slightly thinner in the middle than the edge.
  • Lift the edge of the pizza to form a slight rim.
  • Transfer dough to a baker's peel or baking sheet, cover, and let rise again until almost doubled, about 20 minutes.
  • Top as desired.
  • Bake in a 400 degree F oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until the crust is golden, or according to your pizza recipe's instructions.

Tips:

  • Use a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook to make the dough. This will save you time and effort.
  • If you don't have a stand mixer, you can make the dough by hand. Just be sure to knead it for at least 10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place for at least 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size. This will help the dough to develop flavor and texture.
  • When rolling out the dough, be sure to use a lightly floured surface. This will prevent the dough from sticking.
  • If you are using a pizza stone, be sure to preheat it in the oven for at least 30 minutes before baking the pizza. This will help the pizza to cook evenly.
  • Bake the pizza for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:

This easy cheesy herb pizza dough is a delicious and versatile recipe that can be used to make a variety of pizzas. The dough is made with simple ingredients and can be easily made in a stand mixer or by hand. The dough is then topped with your favorite toppings and baked until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
