Homemade Pizza

Easy Homemade Pizza Dough

Recipe from: Sarah Brass

Ingredients:

5 1/3 cup unbleached mult-purpose flour

2 tsp. salt

1 tsp. yeast

2 Tbls. sugar

2 cups + 2 Tbls. room temperature water

2 Tbls. olive oil

Combine and mix all ingredients for 1 minute until well blended.

Let rest 5 minutes to fully hydrate the flour.

Mix 2-3 minutes more until dough texture is between tacky and sticky. (I usually mix by hand at this point)

Fold once forward and once backward.

Divide into 2 large pizzas or 5 individual pizzas. Store dough in baggie lightly misted with cooking spray in fridge up to 4 days or freezer up to 3 months.

Allow to thaw and come to room temperature before rolling out.

Bake with toppings on at 400 for 15-20 minutes.

Food for Thought:

This recipe is great for not only pizza but calzones or stromboli.  We did a great chicken calzone with artichoke hearts, sundried tomatoes, garlic, and mozzarella the other night.  We also love the basic pepperoni and green pepper pizza.
