HOMEMADE PIZZA CRUST | |
Grease 2 (12 inch) pizza pans. 3 1/2 to 4 c. flour 1 1/2 c. water or half water and half flat beer 1 pkg. active dry yeast 1/2 tsp. salt 2 tbsp. olive oil Heat water to 115°F degrees. Dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup of the warm water. Set aside for 5 minutes. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, salt, olive oil and remaining water to make a soft dough (or use 3/4 cup water plus 3/4 cup flat beer for extra flavor). Stir in dissolved yeast plus enough remaining flour to make a semi-stiff dough. Turn onto floured board; knead until all remaining flour is absorbed and dough is smooth. Place in a greased bowl; turning to grease top of dough. Let rise until doubled (about 40 minutes). When pressed with two fingers 1/4-inch deep, the impressions should remain; if they spring back, dough hasn't risen sufficiently; let it rise for a longer time. Punch down. Divide in half. Form into 2 (12 inch) circles, pressing indentations into the dough with your fingers. Top with favorite pizza toppings and bake at 325°F degrees until bubbly. Note: You may substitute 2 1/2 cups of the all purpose flour with 1 1/2 cups of whole wheat flour to make an excellent whole wheat crust. Cooks Tip: Dough will be easier to handle if you coat your hands with olive oil. |
