Pizza Dough

a single batch serves 2

I've played around with different sizes and thicknesses for the pizza, and here's what I've learned.

Thick Crust
Single batch = one 9-in. round
Double batch = one 9 x 13 or two 9-in. rounds
Triple batch = one jelly roll pan or 12 x 16 cookie sheet with sides or three 9-in. rounds

Thin Crust
Single batch = two 9-in. rounds
Double batch = two 9 x 13 or four 9-in. rounds
Triple batch = two 12 x16 cookie sheets with sides

Note- If you have a pie or cake pan that is 7-in or 8-in round that's just fine too - the crust will just be a little thicker.
(By the way, you should use metal pans, I don't think glass will cook it right.)

Recipe

1/2 tsp. rapid-rise yeast
1/3 c. + 2 Tbsp. warm milk
1 tsp. sugar

*In a measuring cup warm the milk in the microwave, then add the yeast & sugar. Stir. Proof the yeast for 10 - 15 minutes

1 c. all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. salt

*Mix together and then knead for 3 to 4 minutes - until smooth

Add 2 tsp. olive oil

*Knead for 5 minutes more - until oil is incorporated into the dough

*Brush your pan with 1 tsp. oil

*Roll dough out to a size that is slightly larger than the pan you are using, because it springs back.
*Lay your dough into the pan. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 - 1 1/2 hours. (We put ours in our car if the day has been warm/hot and can get it to rise in an hour or less.)

(Alternate method is to heat oven to 150 degrees, turn it off and then while you're making the dough let the oven cool a bit - hopefully it will be the right temperature to put the dough into for rising. Check to make sure it isn't too hot because you don't want to melt your plastic wrap. I can usually get my dough risen in 45 minutes that way. But you HAVE to remember to take your pizza out of the oven while you preheat for the baking.)

*Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
*Bake for 5 - 7 minutes.
*Top with your sauce and toppings.
*Return to oven for 7 - 10 minutes more - until cheese is melted.


Note - If you use regular yeast you'll have to raise the dough twice. (make a dough ball, let rise, then punch down and roll out) And that makes the pizza dough take twice as long to make.
