Pizza/ Garlic Bread Dough

 

Pizza Dough

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 small bags yeast (11 gms or .4 oz.)
  • 1 cup hot water
  • pinch sugar
  • 400 grams unbleached flour this is about 3 cups, but best to measure with a scale.
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Put dry yeast into hot water and sugar and leave until it forms min 1" of foam.
  • Mix flour with salt and olive oil into the mixer and add the yeast solution.
  • Mix well and then split into 3 equal portions and form a ball.
  • Cover and refrigerate for about 18-24 hours and then let sit on the countertop for 2-3 hours to rise further before using.

Making Pizza

  • Place pizza stone in oven and preheat to 550 degrees for at least 1/2 hour to heat stone.
  • Place flour on surface and roll dough out with hands (can use a roller but not too much as you don't want to force air out of dough.) to form a circular pattern
  • Place corn meal on pizza peel and then place dough on top.
  • Top your pizza
  • Gently shake pizza directly from peel to stone in oven and let bake for 5-8 minutes. It is ready when crust is golden brown. Keep an eye on pizza so it doesn't burn.

Making Garlic Bread

  • Take dough and form it into a log.
  • Then with your finger, make a divot in the center. place sliced garlic, sundried tomatoes and any other filling you like.
  • Close the divot and pinch. Brush with a drizzle of olive oil and sprinkle with spices.
  • Bake at 475 for 10 minutes until golden brown.
  • Let cool for 2 minutes before slicing.
