PIZZA DOUGH RECIPES

Amazing Whole Wheat Pizza Crust Recipe

Ingredients:

* 1 teaspoon white sugar

* 1 1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)

* 1 tablespoon active dry yeast

* 1 tablespoon olive oil

* 1 teaspoon salt

* 2 cups whole wheat flour

* 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Directions:

In a large bowl, dissolve sugar in warm water. Sprinkle yeast over the top, and let stand for about 10 minutes, until foamy.

Stir the olive oil and salt into the yeast mixture, then mix in the whole wheat flour and 1 cup of the all-purpose flour until dough starts to come together. Tip dough out onto a surface floured with the remaining all-purpose flour, and knead until all of the flour has been absorbed, and the ball of dough becomes smooth, about 10 minutes.

Place dough in an oiled bowl, and turn to coat the surface. Cover loosely with a towel, and let stand in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

When the dough is doubled, tip the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and divide into 2 pieces for 2 thin crust, or leave whole to make one thick crust. Form into a tight ball. Let rise for about 45 minutes, until doubled.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Roll a ball of dough with a rolling pin until it will not stretch any further. Then, drape it over both of your fists, and gently pull the edges outward, while rotating the crust. When the circle has reached the desired size, place on a well oiled pizza pan. Top pizza with your favorite toppings (sauce, cheese, meats, or vegetables).

Bake for 16 to 20 minutes (depending on thickness) in the preheated oven, until the crust is crisp and golden at the edges, and cheese is melted on the top.

Basic Pizza Dough Recipe

Ingredients:

* 2 packages dry yeast

* 1 1/2 cup lukewarm water

* 4 cups flour

* 1 teaspoon salt

* 1/2 teaspoon sugar

* 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions:

Dissolve yeast in water; set aside for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Combine flour, salt, sugar and oil in bowl; make a well in the center. When water/yeast mixture is bubbly, pour into center of well. Start kneading dough, bringing flour toward center of bowl; gradually increase kneading motion.

If dough feels dry, add a little more water; if it feels sticky, add more flour. Knead vigorously until dough is smooth and elastic. Roll into ball; cover with a damp cloth. Let rest for about 20 minutes in warm place. Beat dough with your palm to expel gas formed while fermenting. Roll dough again into ball; place in greased bowl. Baste with oil. Cover with plastic wrap; store in refrigerator.

When ready to use, place dough on floured counter top or table. Flatten with your hands, working from center out (a rolling pin may do also). Push dough evenly onto greased cookie sheet or pizza pan, forming a 12-inch circle with edges thicker than middle. Apply favorite topping in desired amounts. Bake in hot oven (475 to 500 degrees) until golden brown.

Basic Pizza Dough Recipe1

Ingredients:

* 4 1/2 cups Unbleached all-purpose White flour

* 1 teaspoon Salt

* 1/4 cup Olive oil

* 2 packages Dry yeast

* 1 1/2 cup Warm water

* 2 teaspoons Light brown sugar

Directions:

Measure 1/2 cup warm water (110 F) into 2 cup container and stir in the brown sugar. (Make sure water is warm, not hot - too hot will kill the yeast). Dissolve the 2 packages of dried yeast in the water and set it aside for 5 minutes. Will become frothy. (about 2 cups worth!)

Sift 4 cups of the flour and the salt into a large mixing bowl. Make a depression in the middle of the flour and pour in 3/4 of the olive oil and 1 cup of warm water. When the yeast is ready, add it also.

Dust your kneading surface with flour, then mix the ingredients in the bowl with your hands. Place dough ball on the floured surface and knead from 8 to 10 minutes. Add flour to the kneading surface if the dough is too sticky or wet. Eventually the dough will become elastic.

Rub the insides of a clean bowl with the remaining olive oil and place the dough in it, coating the dough with olive oil by turning it in the bowl. Cover with a clean cloth and let rise in warm, draft- free place until double in size, 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours. An oven with the light on or a lit burner pilot will provide suitable heat for rising dough. When dough has risen, divide into two halves, then roll each out on floured surface. A round shape may be cut out with table knife using 12" bowl or plate as template.

Basic Pizza Dough Recipe2

Ingredients:

* 3 1/4 cups unbleached flour

* 2 teaspoons salt

* 1 cup warm water

* 1 envelope active dry yeast

* 3 tablespoons olive oil

Directions:

In a bowl, combine the flour and salt, and mix thoroughly. In a separate stainless steel bowl, combine the water and yeast, and using a whisk, add 2 tablespoons of oil. Let rest for 5 minutes. Pour the water into the center of the flour, and with a spatula, stir to combine well into a sticky mass. Pour this mass out onto a lightly floured surface and begin to knead the dough by working the dough with the heel of the palm of your hand. Push outward and pull the inside edge over the top. Repeating the process over again to create a smooth ball of dough free of stickiness. Place the ball of dough into a clean stainless steel bowl that has been brushed with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cover with a clean cloth and let rise at room temperature for 1 1/2 hours or until it has doubled in size. When the dough has risen it can be divided in half and the two pieces formed into two balls which will later be patted into the traditional pizza shape.

* 1 teaspoon minced garlic

* 2 teaspoons parmesan cheese

Soft Pizza Dough Recipe

Ingredients:

* 1 frozen loaf bread dough

Directions:

The best pizza dough I have used is thawed out frozen bread dough. Allow dough to defrost. Roll out to fit pan.

Thin Crust Pizza Dough Recipe

Ingredients:

* 3 cups bread flour

* 7/8 cup warm water

* 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening (Crisco)

* 1 teaspoon active dry yeast

* 1 teaspoon salt

* 1/2 teaspoon sugar

Directions:

In a heavy-duty stand mixer fitted with dough hook, add the water, shortening, yeast, and sugar. Mix thoroughly until yeast has fully dissolved. Add flour and salt. Mix on low until most of the flour and water has mixed, then continue kneading for 10 minutes. The dough will be loose and scrappy at first and will eventually form a cohesive ball. There should be no raw flour or crumbs remaining in the bowl.

The dough will be somewhat dry and dense. Place the dough ball into a large bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise for 24 hours in the refrigerator before using. Please note that I cannot over-emphasize the importance of a 24-hour rising time since it is absolutely essential so that the dough will develop its signature texture and, more importantly, its unique flavor! Do not skip this step!

Preheat your oven to 500°F about one hour before you plan to bake the pizza. Turn the dough out onto a large surface and dust with flour. Using a heavy rolling pin, roll the dough out very thin to form a 24-inch or larger circle. If you're using a cutter pizza pan (recommended), dust the pan lightly with flour, place the dough in the pan and dock. Use the rolling pin to trim off the excess dough drooping over the sides of the pan. If you wish to cook the pizza directly on a pizza stone (not using a pan), then place the dough on a dusted pizza-peel, dock, and fold the edge over 1-inch all the way around and pinch it up to form a raised lip or rim.

Next, precook the crust for 4 minutes before adding any sauce or toppings. Remove the crust from the oven and pop any large air pockets that may have formed.

Add your sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese, and your favorite toppings. Continue baking, rotating the pan half way through so that it cooks evenly, until crust is sufficiently browned and crisp, about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the pizza from the oven and slide pizza out of cooking pan onto a large wire cooling rack or cutting board. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a serving pan. This step allows the crust to stay crisp while it cools, otherwise the trapped steam will soften the crust. Once cool, use a pizza cutter to slice the pie into pieces and enjoy!

Ingredients:

Pizza Dough

* 1 cup warm water (105 degrees)

* 1 1/4 ounce packet yeast

* 3 cups all-purpose flour

* 1 teaspoon salt

* 1 teaspoon sugar

* 2 tablespoons olive oil

Caramelized Onions

* 2 onions

* 2 teaspoons olive oil

* 1 1/2 teaspoon salt

* 1 1/2 cup coarsely grated fontina

* 6 slices pancetta, cooked until crisp

* 1 clove garlic, cut in half

* 1 drizzle of olive oil

Directions:

Make the dough:

Stir in 1 cup of flour, the salt, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Mix with a wooden spoon until thoroughly incorporated. Add the remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time, mixing after each addition.

On a lightly floured surface knead dough until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Oil a large bowl with the remaining olive oil. Place dough in oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and a warm dish towel, and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk. This will take 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Punch down the dough, and return it to the floured surface. Divide dough into two balls and cover each with plastic wrap, leaving room for expansion. Allow to double in size again.

Caramelized Onions: Heat oil in large nonstick sauté pan over medium heat. Add thinly sliced onions and season with salt; sauté 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low.

Fig and Prosciutto Pizza Recipe

Ingredients:

Dough:

* 1 package active dry yeast, that has always been in a refrigerator

* 1 pinch of sugar

* 3/4 cup warm water, no hotter than 110 (from the tap)

* 3 cups all-purpose flour

* 2 tablespoons olive oil

* 2 teaspoons sea-salt

* Olive oil for the resting bowl

Pizza:

* 1 pint fresh figs, stems removed, sliced to the thickness of a pea.

* 1/2 pound Prosciutto di Parma from San Daniele. Don't you dare use any other kind.

* 1 tablespoon fennel seeds

* Extra virgin olive oil

* pizza dough (above)

Directions:

For Pizza Dough: "Start" the yeast by mixing it with the sugar and water for about seven to ten minutes. Put the yeast, sugar and water mixture in your stand up mixer, fitted with the dough hook. Add the flour, olive oil, and salt. Start the machine and let mix until a dough ball forms. Stop the machine and let the dough rest for three minutes. Pulse the machine three times. Flour on the counter and put the dough on the floured surface. Knead for five minutes.

Coat a medium-sized bowl with some olive oil. Put the dough in the bowl, then turn the dough over, so that both sides are covered with a film of oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Put the bowl in a warm place for 2 hours so the dough can rise. After two hours, punch the dough in the middle to deflate. Put it on a floured counter. Cut the dough in half, and freeze one half for future use. Roll the other half into a ball and cover it with the bowl for thirty minutes.

For Fig and Prosciutto Pizza: Toast the fennel seeds in a hot, dry pan-about five minutes. Set aside. Heat your oven to 4750 with a pizza stone on the highest rack. Use a cookie sheet pan that has no edges. Cover it well with Wondra flour or cornmeal. Roll out the dough to the size of the pizza stone.

Transfer the dough onto the floured sheet pan. Spread out a layer of prosciutto, then the figs, on the dough. Sprinkle the pizza with the toasted fennel. Transfer the pizza to the pizza stone by putting the sheet pan on the stone and quickly pulling the tray away, so the pizza slides.

Bake for five minutes or until the bottom of the crust is golden brown. Remove the pizza from the stone by using the sheet pan and a big spatula. Just before serving, put the pizza onto a cutting board. Drizzle it well with the extra virgin olive oil and cut it in to squares.

Mediterranean Pita Pizza Recipe

Ingredients:

* 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

* 1 medium onion, finely minced

* 1/2 green bell pepper, small dice

* 1 pound ground lamb (or turkey or chicken)

* 1 teaspoon cumin

* 1 teaspoon coriander

* 4 sprigs fresh oregano

* OR

* 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

* Salt and pepper

* 2 tablespoons tomato paste

* Water (optional)

* 4 large fresh pita

* 1/4 cup grated Parmesan

* 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled

* 2 Roma tomatoes, seeds removed, small dice

* 1/4 cup kalamata olives, roughly chopped

* Olive oil (optional)

* Fresh torn basil (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 500F. (Note: If pita is fairly sturdy, place assembled pizzas directly on rack. If not, preheat a baking sheet with the oven.)

In a large sauté pan, preheat oil and pan over medium flame. Add onions and peppers and sweet for about five minutes to soften.

Add ground meat and more oil if necessary to prevent sticking. As meat browns, break up with a wooden spoon to combine with veg and brown evenly.

Once meat is mostly broken up and still browning, add cumin, coriander, oregano and a healthy dash of salt and pepper. Continue to sauté for 1-2 minutes to bring out the aromas in the seasoning.

Add tomato paste and a splash of water if the mixture is very dry (this will often depend on how lean your meat is), reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 3-4 minutes to finish cooking.

Meanwhile you should have prepped the toppings.

To assemble the pizzas, start by even sprinkling each with a tablespoon of Parmesan, this will help the toppings to stick in the oven. Evenly divide meat mixture amongst the four pies. Top with feta, chopped tomato and olives.

Place in the oven for about 10 minutes, until cheese has slightly melted and the bread has gotten sufficiently brown and crisp.

To serve, drizzle with olive oil and a sprinkling of some hand-torn fresh basil.

* Classic Cheese Pizza

* 1 ounce fresh yeast

* or

* 1/2 ounce dried yeast

* 1 pinch sugar

* 1/2 pint lukewarm water

* 14 ounces plain flour

* 1 teaspoon salt (scant)

* 1/4 pint olive oil

* corn meal (polenta)

* 3/4 pint tomato and garlic sauce

* 1 pound mozzarella, cut into 1/4 inch dice

* 6 tablespoons Parmesan, freshly grated

Directions:

Crumble the fresh yeast or sprinkle the dried yeast and a pinch of sugar into 3 tablespoons of lukewarm water. Be sure that the water is lukewarm (110 - 115 F. - neither too hot nor too cold to the touch). Let it stand for 2 to 3 minutes, then stir the yeast and sugar into the water until completely dissolved. Put the cup in a warm, drought-free place for 3 to 5 minutes, until the yeast bubbles up and the mixture almost doubles in volume. If the yeast does not bubble, start over again with fresh yeast.

Sift the flour and salt into a large, warmed bowl. Make a well in the centre of the flour and pour in the yeast mixture, 3/8 pint of lukewarm water and 3 tablespoons of the olive oil. Mix the dough with a fork or your fingers.

When you can gather it into a rough ball, place the dough on a floured board and knead it for about 15 minutes, until smooth, shiny and elastic. Dust the dough lightly with flour, put in a large clean bowl and cover. Place the bowl in a warm, drought-free spot for about 1 1/2 hours, until the dough has doubled in bulk.

Now preheat the oven to 450 F. Punch the dough down with your fists and break off about one quarter of it to make the first of the 4 pizzas. Knead the small piece on a floured board or a table for a minute or so, working in a little flour if the dough seems sticky. Flatten the ball into a circle about 1 inch thick with the palm of your hand. Hold the circle in your hands and stretch the dough by turning the circle and pulling your hands apart gently at the same time.

When the circle is about 7 or 8 inches across, spread it out on the floured board again and pat it smooth, pressing together any tears in the dough. Then roll the dough with a rolling pin, from the centre to the far edge, turning it clockwise after each roll, until you have a circle of pastry about 10 inches across and about 1/8 inch thick.

Crimp or flute the edge of the circle with your thumbs until it forms a little rim. Dust a large baking sheet lightly with corn meal and gently place the pizza dough on top of it.

Knead, stretch and roll the rest of the dough into 3 more pizzas.

Pour 6 tablespoons of the tomato sauce on each pizza and spread it with a pastry brush or the back of a spoon.

To make a cheese pizza, sprinkle the sauce with 6 tablespoons of mozzarella and 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan. Dribble 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the pizza and bake it on the lowest shelf or the floor of the oven. Reduce the oven temperature to 400 F after 5 minutes and cook for about 10 minutes in all, until the crust is lightly browned and the filling bubbling hot.
