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!

Categories     Quick & Easy     Phyllo/Puff Pastry Dough     Pastry

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pkg. instant yeast
1/4 c lukewarm water
1 tbsp sugar
1 cup warm milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 c oil
4 c flour

Steps:

  • 1. Soften yeast in warm water 2. Mix milk, sugar, salt & oil together. Microwave on high 1 min. 3. Mix in yeast. 4. Stir in 3 1/2 cups flour and let sit 15 minutes. Knead in remaining 1/2 cup flour. You may need a little more. 5. Spread out on greased pizza pan, and cover & let rise until double, about 1/2 hour. Put on favorite toppings. Ours is a taco meat mix with tomatoes and cheese served with sour cream and baked at 375 for 15-20 minutes. Your nose will know it's done.

Tips:

  • Always use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best results.
  • Make sure the water is warm, but not hot, before adding the yeast. If the water is too hot, it will kill the yeast and prevent the dough from rising.
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the flour, which will give the dough a chewy texture.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will allow the yeast to work its magic and create a light and airy dough.
  • When rolling out the dough, use a light touch. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
  • Bake the pizza at a high temperature for a crispy crust.
  • Top the pizza with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Conclusion:

With these tips in mind, you're sure to create a delicious and authentic pizza that will impress your friends and family. So get cooking and enjoy!
