Time 2h10m

Yield 4 pizzas, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

7 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 (1 ounce) packet active dry yeast
2 1/2 cups water, warm
1/2 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Pour warm water into a bowl. Add yeast. Using a whisk, whisk completely to dissolve yeast. Set aside for about 5 minutes, or until yeast activates.
  • Add 1 cup flour, all the salt, and the olive oil. Mix well. Add remaining flour 1 cup at a time until dough is soft and springy. Dough should turn into a ball. If dough is too dry, add a very small amount of water. If it's too wet, add a very small amount of flour.
  • Place dough on a floured board and cover with a dry towel. Allow to sit until ball doubles in size.
  • Cut dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll into balls and again allow to rise. If you are not using the dough immediately, wrap each ball with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Once ready to use, unwrap ball and bring to room temperature.
  • Place dough on floured board. Using hands, flatten dough and spread out to form a circle.
  • Top with desired ingredients.
  • Bake at 550 degrees for 5-6 minutes or until dough is golden brown.

QUICK AND EASY PIZZA CRUST

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!

OLIVE OIL PIZZA DOUGH -- NO KNEADING NEEDED! --



Olive Oil Pizza Dough -- No Kneading Needed! -- image

Upon having my first gander at this recipe, I clung tenaciously to it and haven't let go since. Adapted from Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day, this is a terrific and SUPER easy no-knead pizza dough. It's the same dough I use in the Recipe #349690 and the one I'll use forever. It's just too easy not to! This recipe is for the dough only and makes approximately two 10-inch pizzas bases. Top with your favorites, then mix it, let it rest for 2 hours and either use immediately or store it for 12 days. Make one now, one another day. Make both and eat 'em all by yourself, I won't tell! Easily doubled and does not include resting (2 hours) or baking (12 minutes) time.

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 10m

Yield 2 10-inch pizzas, 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 3/8 cups lukewarm water
3/4 tablespoon granulated yeast (3/4 packet, room temperature)
3/4 tablespoon salt
1/2 tablespoon sugar
1/8 cup extra virgin olive oil (the fruitier the oil, the better the flavor)
3 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Mix the yeast, salt, sugar and olive oil with the water in a 5-quart bowl or a lidded (not air-tight) food container.
  • Mix in the flour without kneading using a spoon, a large capacity food processor (with dough attachment), or a heavy-duty stand mixer (with dough hook). If you're not using a machine, you may need to use wet hands to incorporate the last bit of flour. I use the spoon/hands combination.
  • Cover (not air-tight) and allow to rest at room temperature until dough rises and collapses (or flattens on top), approximately 2 hours.
  • The dough can be used immediately after the initial rise, though it is easier to handle when cold. Refrigerate in a lidded (again, not air-tight) container and use over the next 12 days.
  • HERE ARE SOME BASIC COOKING INSTRUCTIONS TO COMPLETE YOUR OWN PIZZA USING THIS DOUGH:.
  • Thirty minutes before baking, preheat a baking stone in your oven to 500°F.
  • Instead of kneading this dough, you're going to "cloak" it, which (and this is VERY important), should take no more than 30 seconds for the whole process from grabbing off a hunk of dough to the end of cloaking. This is done after the 2-hour rest. Sprinkle a little flour on the surface of the dough you've made and pull or cut off a grapefruit-sized ball. This will be for one pizza. Sprinkle a bit more flour on the top of that ball and with the entire length of the sides of your thumbs, gently stretch the top surface around to the under part of the ball. Gently! You're not actually tearing the dough, but think of it as lengthening the fibers on the very top surface of the ball by stretching it just a bit. Then go ahead and roll out the dough for your pizza.
  • Brush the thinly rolled out dough with garlic oil, sprinkle on your favorite prepared toppings and bake for 6 minutes. Give it a 1/2 turn and continue baking for another 6 minutes being careful that the crust doesn't burn. Remove from oven, let rest for 1 minute, slice and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a food processor or stand mixer to make the dough. This will save you time and effort.
  • If you don't have a food processor or 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 become light and airy.
  • When you are ready to bake the pizza, preheat the oven to the highest temperature possible. This will help the pizza to cook evenly and quickly.
  • Use a pizza stone or baking sheet to bake the pizza. This will help the pizza to cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Top the pizza with your favorite toppings. Be sure to use fresh, high-quality ingredients.
  • Bake the pizza for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
  • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Making Olive Garden pizza dough at home is easy and rewarding. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious, authentic pizza that the whole family will love. So next time you're craving pizza, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
