HERB PIZZA DOUGH



Herb Pizza Dough image

Based on a recipe from Williams-Sonoma Kitchen Library Pizza cookbook. The introduction says, "Fresh or dried herbs add an accent of flavor and color to pizza dough. Good choices include oregano, basil, marjoram, chives, thyme, rosemary, sage, mint and fennel seeds, selected to highlight the ingredients that will top the pizza or fill the calzone. Do not go overboard on your selection: It is better to choose two or three complementary herbs, or even just one herb, rather than a large mixed bouquet of clashing flavors."

Time 2h

Yield 1 pizza dough

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon active dry yeast
3/4 cup water, lukewarm (105 degrees F)
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus 1/2 cup for working
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons mixed fresh herbs, minced or 1 tablespoon dried herbs
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Dissolve yeast in the water in a small bowl and let stand until slightly foamy on top, about 10 minutes.
  • In a large bowl stir together the 2 ¾ cups flour, salt, and herbs. Form into a mound. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture to it.
  • Using a fork, stir the dough in a circular motion, gradually pulling the flour into the yeast mixture until a dough forms.
  • Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface using some of the ½ cup flour.
  • Using the heel of your hand, knead the dough until it's smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
  • Form the dough into a ball.
  • Brush a large bowl with the oil and place the dough in it. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature until doubled in size, about 1 to 2 hours.
  • Place dough on work surface lightly dusted with the remaining flour.
  • Punch the dough down.
  • By hand, gently press dough out into desired shape.
  • Place one hand in the center of dough, and with the other hand, pull, lift and stretch the dough, gradually working your way all around the edge, until it is the desired thickness, about ¼ inch thick for a crusty pizza base and ½ inch thick for a softer one.
  • Flip the dough over from time to time as you work with it; alternately, roll the dough out with a rolling pin. The dough should be slightly thinner in the middle than the edge.
  • Lift the edge of the pizza to form a slight rim.
  • Transfer dough to a baker's peel or baking sheet, cover, and let rise again until almost doubled, about 20 minutes.
  • Top as desired.
  • Bake in a 400 degree F oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until the crust is golden, or according to your pizza recipe's instructions.

FRESH HERB PIZZA



Fresh Herb Pizza image

Provided by Ree Drummond Bio & Top Recipes

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 1 pizza

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast
2 cups all-purpose flour
Kosher salt
Scant 1/4 cup olive oil (a little less than 1/4 cup), plus more drizzling
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Freshly ground black pepper
2 mozzarella balls, sliced
1 bunch arugula
1 bunch fresh basil leaves
1 bunch fresh parsley leaves
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Grated Parmesan, for serving

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the yeast over 3/4 cup warm (not lukewarm) water in a bowl and leave to sit for a bit.
  • In a mixer, add the flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and with the mixer running on low speed (with the paddle attachment), slowly pour in the olive oil and keep going until it's mixed through. Next, pour in the yeast/water mixture and mix until just combined.
  • Coat a separate mixing bowl with a light drizzle of olive oil, tip the dough in and form it into a ball. Toss to coat the dough ball in the olive oil, then cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise for at least 1 hour, or up to 3 or 4 days.
  • Arrange the oven rack in the lowest position and preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Drizzle a large baking sheet with olive oil.
  • Roll out the pizza dough as thinly as possible and place it on the baking sheet. Drizzle over some extra-virgin olive oil, sprinkle over some salt and pepper and place the mozzarella slices all over the dough.
  • Bake until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Put the arugula, whole basil leaves and parsley in a bowl and toss with the extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Scatter over the pizza, sprinkle with grated Parmesan and serve.

HERBED PIZZA DOUGH



Herbed Pizza Dough image

This is a simple pizza dough and it doesn't take all day either. The only appliance I used was my stand mixer with the dough hook!

Provided by ChefCO Mom

Categories     Breads

Time 58m

Yield 4 slices, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups flour
1 1/4 cups warm water
1 tablespoon olive oil (herbed, use a good quality EVOO)
1 teaspoon fast rising yeast (bread machine yeast also works here)
1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon rosemary
1 teaspoon parmesan cheese, finely grated

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to roughly 150 degrees. Just enough to make it warm enough to cause the dough to rise well. Then turn your oven off as soon as it heats up.
  • Add all the above ingredients in the order above into your stand mixing bowl. Mix using a dough hook until it forms a ball. Place it in an oiled bowl and cover with a cloth. Place in the warm oven for about 30 minutes or until the dough doubles in size.
  • When dough has doubled, preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
  • Roll out the dough in desired shape. You may need to flour your surface and rolling pin to prevent sticking. I usually just sprinkle my baking sheet (or stone) with corn meal and garlic salt and just press out my dough.
  • Add your favorite toppings and bake for approximately 15-18 minutes depending on the size of pizza you're making. Should just be bubbly.
  • Enjoy with freshly grated parmesan cheese.

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.

QUICK PIZZA DOUGH



Quick Pizza Dough image

The trouble with most homemade pizza dough recipes is that they're sort of a pain. You have to plan ahead. Knead the dough. Let it rise. Clean up after it. This might be the pizza dough recipe that finally persuades you it's worth the effort - what little effort is required. With the help of two allies in the kitchen - your food processor and your freezer - now homemade pizza dough is nearly as simple as taking a chicken breast out of the freezer to thaw on your way out the door in the morning.

Categories     pizza and calzones, main course

Time 30m

Yield 2 crusts (4 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 3/4 cups/390 grams bread flour
2 1/2 teaspoons/7 grams active dry yeast (1 packet)
2 teaspoons sea salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup warm water
2 or 3 tablespoons medium or coarse cornmeal

Steps:

  • Put the flour, yeast and salt in a food processor. With the machine running, pour the oil through the feed tube, then add the water in a slow, steady stream. Continue to process for 2 to 3 minutes (the dough should form a rough ball and ride around in the processor). The finished dough should be soft, slightly sticky and elastic. If too dry, add a bit more water; if too wet, a tablespoon or so more flour.
  • Lay a 12-inch-long piece of plastic wrap on a clean work surface. Work the dough into a rectangle on the plastic, about 8 inches long and 6 inches wide. Press your fingers into the top of the dough all over, making indentations as though it were a focaccia. Fold the left third of the dough over (as you would a letter) and repeat the indentations. Fold the right third over and make the indentations again. Cover the folded dough with plastic wrap and let rise for 20 minutes.
  • Cut the dough in half, form each piece into a neat ball, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and transfer to the freezer. The morning before you want to make pizza, transfer the dough to the refrigerator to thaw.
  • Bring the dough to room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes. Put a pizza stone in the oven and preheat to 550 degrees. (If you don't have a stone, oil a rimmed baking sheet and set aside.) Dust a peel or the greased baking sheet generously with cornmeal. Working with the dough in your hands (not flat on a work surface), gently begin to stretch the dough into a circular shape, pressing your fist into the center of the dough and pulling at the edges with your other hand. With both hands, stretch the dough, being careful not to tear it. Working in a circular motion, pull the thicker edges of the dough outward, letting gravity help you. Continue to stretch the dough until it's relatively even in thickness (the edges will be thicker) and you have the size you want. Carefully lay it on the peel or baking sheet.
  • Top the pizza as desired and either slide it off the peel and onto your heated stone, or place the baking sheet into the oven. Cook the pizza for 6 to 10 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.

QUICK HERBED PIZZA DOUGH



Quick Herbed Pizza Dough image

A quick, simple and very aromatic pizza dough with a blend of Italian herbs. Makes a great, authentic pizza! (Serving Size = 1 family size pizza)

Provided by Deux Petits Chefs

Categories     Breads

Time 40m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups flour
2 teaspoons dried yeast
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon masterfood's mixed Italian herbs (1/4 tsp rosemary, 1/4 tsp thyme, 1/4 tsp oregano, 1/4 tsp basil, pinch of chopped parley)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 cup warm water

Steps:

  • Sift flour into a large mixing bowl, create a well in the middle.
  • Add dried yeast, olive oil, sugar, salt.
  • Add warm water.
  • Knead for 3 min, adding a small splash of water as needed to incorporate all the flour. If too sticky, dust lightly over with flour and keep kneading. Add Italian herbs.
  • Knead for another 5 - 7 min, or until dough is elastic.
  • Cover with plastic wrap, layer over a warm, damp towel and set for at least 30 min in a warm area for dough to rise.
  • (Tip: If you live in a cold climate, set a pot of water to boil on high heat, and set the covered bowl near it to warm it up. Don't put it too close, just enough for the bowl to heat and warm up. Too hot and the yeast will get killed!).
  • When dough has risen, punch down, lightly use tips of fingers to pull out dough, dust a bit of flour over and then knead lightly until dough is round and smooth.

Tips:

  • Ensure the water is warm (around 110-115°F) for the yeast to activate properly.
  • Let the yeast mixture sit for the full 5-10 minutes to ensure it's active and bubbly. If it doesn't foam, discard it and start again with fresh yeast.
  • Add the dry ingredients gradually to ensure the dough comes together smoothly.
  • Don't overwork the dough, as this can make it tough. Mix until it just comes together, then let it knead in the mixer or by hand for a few minutes until it's smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place for at least 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size. If you're short on time, you can let it rise for 30 minutes in a warm oven (around 100°F).
  • When rolling out the dough, use a light touch and don't press down too hard, or you'll deflate it.
  • To prevent the dough from sticking to the pan, grease it lightly with oil or line it with parchment paper.
  • Bake the pizza in a preheated oven to ensure the crust cooks evenly.
  • Use high-quality toppings for the best flavor.
  • Enjoy your homemade pizza fresh out of the oven!

Conclusion:

This quick and easy herbed pizza dough recipe is perfect for busy weeknights or weekend pizza parties.
