My Favorite Pizza Dough

Written by , Posted in Baking, Pizza

This is my favorite pizza dough, ever. I found it on this website ages ago (it’s since disappeared). I use this dough for any kind of pizza crust (thick, regular, thin, flatbread). I use it for quick cinnamon rolls and quick garlic breads. I often double or triple the recipe then freeze it in individual freezer bags. To defrost I leave the dough in the bag on the counter for a couple of hours, or putting it in a bowl of cold water.

Here it is, with my changes. I hope you try it!

My Favorite Pizza Dough  
Recipe Type: Pizza
Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 12 mins
Total time: 22 mins
Ingredients
  • 3 C flour (can do 2 1/2 C All Purpose, 1/2 C Whole Wheat)
  • 1 t honey (heaping)
  • 1 t olive oil (heaping)
  • 1 C hot water (100-110F)
  • 1/2 t sugar
  • 1 T yeast
  • 1/2 t salt
Instructions
  1. Dissolve yeast in water with sugar.
  2. Mix flour, honey, oil and salt.
  3. Add yeast mixture.
  4. Mix all together.
  5. Knead a bit in the bowl (the original recipe doesn’t say anything about this. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t).
  6. Either let it rise (I don’t, and the original doesn’t say to), or just use it right away.
  7. I like to bake it on a baking stone, but a regular pan works well too. Bake at 475F.
  8. Depending on the type of pizza (usually for a flat bread pizza), sometimes I’ll bake the crust for 6 minutes, top it, then bake for about 5 more (until the cheese is bubbly). Otherwise, on a hot stone: bake for 8 minutes, on a regular pan: bake for 12 minutes.

Roasted Broccoli and Garlic Pizza

Written by , Posted in Baking, Cheese, Dinner, Main Dishes, Pizza, Vegetables

I’ve been trying to make a new kind of pizza each Friday. I came up with a bunch of new and creative ideas, because while I love regular pepperoni, or ham and pineapple, it’s fun to try something new. Here’s one week’s invention:

Hope you like it! I made it for dinner with friends, along with my Philly Cheesesteak Pizza, and we ate all of both of them! Next I’m making Chicken Club Pizza. Hope it’s yummy!

Philly Cheesesteak Pizza

Written by , Posted in Baking, Beef, Cheese, Dinner, Leftovers, Main Dishes, Meat, Pizza, Vegetables

(From Feb 2011) Last night I had Broccoli Cheese Soup on the menu. When it got to be 6 o’clock and I hadn’t started it, it became clear that I needed to make something else. I had made a Pioneer Woman’s Pizza Crust the day before (it’s best after 24 hours in the fridge), we had some leftover Tri Tip, we have a ton of leeks, and we always have cheese. Thus, the Philly Cheesesteak Pizza was born… It was delicious. We may have a different kind of pizza invention every Friday from now on.
