QUICK AND EASY PIZZA CRUST



Quick and Easy Pizza Crust image

This is a great recipe when you don't want to wait for the dough to rise. You just mix it and allow it to rest for 5 minutes and then it's ready to go!! It yields a soft, chewy crust. For a real treat, I recommend you use bread flour and bake it on a pizza stone, but all-purpose flour works well too. Enjoy!

BASIC PIZZA DOUGH



Basic Pizza Dough image

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Time 1h55m

Yield 4 (6-inch) pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water (about 110 degrees F)
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus additional for rolling dough
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 scant tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus some additional for coating the bowl/greasing the trays

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the yeast and warm water. Stir to dissolve the yeast and allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes.
  • Using a sieve or strainer, "sift" about half of the flour over the yeast mixture and blend until smooth with your hands. Add the salt, pepper and honey and mix to blend. Sift in the remaining flour and mix to blend.
  • Lightly flour a cutting board or flat surface. Turn the pizza dough onto the floured area and knead for 3 to 5 minutes. The flour should feel smooth and the ingredients fully integrated. Place the dough inside a lightly oiled large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest in a warm place, about 1 1/2 hours or until doubled in volume.
  • Press gently on the dough and turn it onto a floured surface. Divide the dough into 4 equal parts, rolling each quarter into a loose ball. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and allow the dough to rest for an additional 15 minutes. Flatten each ball, 1at a time, and roll into a 6-inch round. Place each round in a single layer on a lightly greased baking sheet.
  • Tip for topping the pizza: Brushing the dough with olive oil can create a barrier that will help to prevent the topping from making the crust soggy.

Tips:

  • Be precise with the measurements of your ingredients. This will ensure the dough has the correct consistency and texture.
  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the pizza dough will be. Look for fresh, unbleached flour, active dry yeast, and fine sea salt.
  • Proof the yeast before adding it to the dough. This will help ensure the yeast is active and will help the dough rise properly.
  • Knead the dough for at least 10 minutes. This will help develop the gluten in the flour and will make the dough 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 give the yeast time to work and will help the dough develop flavor.
  • Punch down the dough and divide it into two equal pieces. This will make it easier to shape the dough into two pizzas.
  • Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out to a 12-inch circle.
  • Transfer the dough to a greased pizza pan. Crimp the edges of the dough to create a raised crust.
  • Top the dough with your favorite pizza toppings. Bake the pizza in a preheated oven at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Making pizza dough from scratch is a rewarding experience. With a little practice, you'll be able to make delicious, homemade pizza dough that will impress your family and friends. So next time you're in the mood for pizza, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
