Categories     Bread

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/3 cups all purpose flour (plus extra)
1 package instant fast rising yeast
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk (plus 2 tablespoons)
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil (divided)
2 teaspoons sugar

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to the bottom position. Preheat to 200 degrees, then turn oven off.
  • Grease a large glass bowl with a little olive oil or non stick cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast and salt together.
  • In a glass measuring cup, heat milk to approximately 110 degrees in the microwave in 15-30 second increments. Stir between heating.
  • Add sugar to the milk, and stir to dissolve. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the olive oil.
  • Slowly pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon. Incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon for 5 - 10 minutes, until the dough forms a smooth ball. (You can also use a dough hook mixing attachment.)
  • Place the dough ball into the greased bowl, and flip over. Cover the bowl with a warm damp towel and place in the warm oven. Let double in size, about 30 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and divide the dough into two pieces. Shape into circles according to pan size.
  • For deep dish pizzas, put 3 tablespoons of olive oil into each pan. Carefully place dough on top of oil, and do not allow the oil to seep on top of the dough. For traditional style crust, place in prepared pizza pans or pizza stone and let rise.
  • Cover and let sit in a warm area for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Top with your favorite sauce, cheese and pizza toppings. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
