Time 2h

Yield 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups warm water, divided (110 degrees F)
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast (or use two .25-ounce packages yeast)
1 teaspoon sugar
5 1/2-6 1/2 cups bread flour (more if needed)
3 teaspoons salt
3 teaspoons sugar
5 tablespoons vegetable oil (or use Canola oil, DO NOT substitute butter or shortening for the oil it will affect the texture)

Steps:

  • Attach the dough hook to heavy duty stand mixer.
  • In a small cup or bowl mix 1 teaspoon sugar into 1 cup warm water until combined.
  • Stir in 1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast and mix gently.
  • Cover the cup and allow to proof until foamy (about 8 minutes, if the yeast does not foam discard and make again).
  • Place 5-1/2 cups flour in the stainless steel mixing bowl along with the salt, sugar and 5 tablespoons oil.
  • After the yeast has proofed add to the bowl along with remaining 1 cup warm water.
  • Start kneading process adding in more flour a tablespoon at a time as needed to create a soft smooth semi-sticky dough (kneading should take about 8 minutes).
  • Place the dough onto a lightly floured surface; cover with a clean tea towel and let rest for 3 minutes (this is important, allow to sit for 3 minutes).
  • Oil a large deep bowl.
  • Gather up the dough and gently knead into a ball (the dough will come together easily after resting).
  • Place the dough into the bowl, then cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise for about 1 hour or until doubled.
  • Punch down the dough and remove to a lightly floured surface.
  • Divide the dough evenly in half.
  • Cover both pieces of dough and allow to rest for 5 minutes (this will make shaping the dough easier).
  • Roll each dough into about a 9 x 12-inch rectangle, then roll up jelly-roll fashion starting at long edge.
  • Seal edges and seam of each loaf.
  • Grease a large jelly-roll pan then sprinkle with about 2 tablespoons cornmeal.
  • Place the two long shaped loaves onto the pan seam-side down spacing apart.
  • Using a razor blade or a small sharp knife slash each loaf 3 times diagonally.
  • In a small cup whisk an egg white then brush over each loaf.
  • Sprinkle the tops with about 2 teaspoons seasme seeds for each loaf.
  • Cover with a clean tea towel and allow to rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.

KITTENCAL'S PIZZA DOUGH



Kittencal's Pizza Dough image

This recipe is written to be prepared on a heavy-duty stand mixer although it may also be made by hand successfully. This is one of my favorite pizza dough recipes it produces a tender crust with lots of flavor. I have tryed many over the years, but this recipe is the one that comes close to a pizza restaurant-style crust, well for me anyway! The Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese are only optional I like to add in both for flavor, the prepared dough may be covered and refrigerated for 24 hours *after* punching down or may be frozen to be used later --- see my recipe#65641 *or* recipe#232188

Time 1h55m

Yield 1 large pizza

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups warm water, divided
2 teaspoons sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons dry yeast (or use 1 small package yeast, for a quicker rise use 3 teaspoons)
3 tablespoons olive oil (must use olive oil, can use 4 tablespoons if desired)
2 teaspoons salt
1 -2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning (optional)
2 -3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese (optional but good to add in)
1 cup white bread flour
3 cups all-purpose flour (more if needed)

Steps:

  • Proof the yeast with 1 cup warm water and 2 teaspoons sugar for 10 minutes until foamy.
  • Meanwhile in the stainless steel mixing bowl, add in all-purpose and bread flour flour 2-3 tablespoons olive oil, salt, grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning (if using).
  • When the yeast is proofed add to the mixing bowl along with 1/2 cup warm water.
  • With kneader blade attached to the stand mixer, begin mixing ingredients for about 1 minute, adding in more all purpose flour as needed (1 tablespoon at a time).
  • Continue to knead dough (for about 8-10 minutes) to create a smooth, semi-stcky dough that holds around the kneader blade (adding in more all-purpose flour as needed, but don't add in too much flour!).
  • Stop machine, cover bowl with a clean tea towel, and let rest for 10 minutes, (this is important!).
  • Remove dough to a lightly-floured surface, and knead gently for about 20 seconds, the dough will come together nicely.
  • Place the dough into a well-oiled bowl (I just use the same bowl).
  • Cover with plastic wrap or a clean tea towel in a warm place for 60 minutes until dough has doubled in size.
  • At this point, you can cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and rise the dough overnight in the fridge.
  • Punch down and remove from bowl, separate the dough in half for two smaller pizzas or leave in one piece for an extra large pizza.
  • Cover the dough and let rest for 5-8 minutes (this will allow for easier shaping).
  • Roll the dough out with a rolling pin on a floured surface into a circle, and place on a pizza pan coated with non-stick spray.
  • Trim the dough that is hanging around the edges (I use a pizza cutter for this).
  • Spread with pizza sauce and then shredded cheese, then top with favorite toppings.
  • Bake as desired.

"OLD RELIABLE" FRENCH BREAD (FOR KITCHEN AID MIXERS)



This recipe came with my Kitchen Aid mixer, and makes two absolutely beautiful loaves of French Bread. I misplaced my recipe book and recently found it again, so am adding this recipe to Zaar for safe-keeping! Make sure you use a very, very sharp knife to make the diagonal slashes. This bread is delicious on its own, for sopping up stew or soup broth, and with your favorite cheeses or toppings. Prep time specified includes rising time.
