Categories     main-dish

Time 2h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
1 teaspoon salt
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup water
1/2 cup marinara sauce
About 12 small (or 6 large, halved) meatballs, uncooked
8 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced
1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • For the dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together the flour, yeast and salt. Make a small well in the center and then add 2 tablespoons oil and the water. Using the paddle attachment, mix on low until combined. Remove the dough to a flour-dusted work surface and knead for a few minutes until shiny and smooth.
  • Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour. Remove the dough from the bowl and gently punch it down. Coat a 10-inch cake pan with 3 tablespoons oil. Place the dough in the pan and poke it all over with your fingers. Cover again with plastic wrap and set aside in warm place until puffy, about 45 minutes.
  • For the pizza: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spread the focaccia with the marinara sauce, then scatter with the meatballs. Tear the mozzarella slices and scatter them over the meatballs. Sprinkle with the Parmesan. Cover the pan with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 5 minutes, until the cheese is golden brown and bubbling and the crust is golden.

Time 7m

Yield 4 1 pound loaves

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/2 cups lukewarm water
1 1/2 tablespoons granulated yeast
1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt or 1 tablespoon table salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
6 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (29.25 oz.)

Steps:

  • Mixing and Storing the Dough:.
  • Note: If measuring flour rather than weighing, don't press down into the flour as you scoop it in with dry-ingredient measuring cups, By gently scooping up flour, then sweeping the top level with a knife or spatula.you willl get a more accurate measurement.
  • In large plastic storage container (with lid) mix together the flour, yeast, sugar and salt.
  • Add all the water and olive oil at once and mix with a wooden spoon.
  • If mixing becomes too difficult to incorporate all the flour with the spoon, reach into the mixing bowl with very wet hands and press the mixture together. Note: kneading isn't necessary.
  • When everything is uniformly moist without dry patches your mixing is complete. This should take only a few minutes.
  • The dough will be wet and loose enough to conform to the shape of its container.
  • Cover with a lid (not airtight) that fits well on the container. Allow the mixture to rise at room temperature until it begins to collapse, or at least flattens on the top, about 2 hours, depending on the room's temperature and the initial water temperature. Longer rising times, up to about 5 hours, will not harm the result.
  • You can use a portion of the dough anytime after this period. Fully refrigerated wet dough is less sticky and easier to work with than dough at room temperature. So the first time you try this method, it's best to refrigerate the dough overnight, or at least 3 hours, before shaping a loaf.
  • The breads flavor improves with the retardation, so suggest you wait at least 24 hours before baking the first loaf! Dough may be stored in the refrigerator for up to 12 days.
  • Baking Instructions:.
  • Naan:.Recipe #387678.
  • Pizza:.Recipe #387780 or Recipe #363140 on the grill Recipe #322248.
  • Pizza Roll: Recipe #388861.
  • Focaccia:.Recipe #387527.
  • Lavash: Recipe #310451.

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.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F before baking the focaccia pizza.
  • Use a light touch when pressing the dough into the baking sheet. You don't want to deflate the dough.
  • Bake the focaccia pizza for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let the focaccia pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
