Pizza is so versatile. This time we made a simple cheese pizza with tomato sauce we made from fresh tomatoes but another favorite is bbq fake chicken pizza with fresh pineapple and red onions. I used 1 cup whole wheat flour and white for the rest. This recipe makes about two medium thin crusted pizzas. It freezes well, let it come to room temperature and re-rise a bit before shaping.
recipe adapted by Stephanie from The Good Cook Book by Yves
2 tbsp soy or cow's milk
1 tbsp EVOO
1 cup warm water
1 tbsp dry active yeast (I used one package (2 1/4 tsp) which is a little less than 1 tbsp and it worked fine)
2 3/4 cups flour (plus more for kneading)
2 tbsp soy or cow's milk
1 tsp salt
1 tsp brown sugar1 tbsp EVOO
1 cup warm water
1 tbsp dry active yeast (I used one package (2 1/4 tsp) which is a little less than 1 tbsp and it worked fine)
2 3/4 cups flour (plus more for kneading)
1. Place milk, salt, sugar, oil and warm water in a large stainless steel or glass bowl (I used plastic, I don’t know what’s wrong with that but nothing obvious) and mix thoroughly.
2. Sprinkle yeast on top of the water mixtures and cover bowl tightly with clear kitchen wrap.
3. Fill sink ¼ full with 100 deg F water. Place bowl in water and leave for 10 minutes or until yeast mixture is double in size. (Instead of using my sink I make a sort of double boiler with a big soup pot, although its not boiling, its like a double luke-warmer, and sit my bowl in that. It helps if your bowl has a lip and can sorta hang on the top of the pot with its base in the warm water. This method can be used for bread baking too).
4. Slowly stir 1 cup flour into yeast mixture, making a porridge consistency. Gradually add remaining flour and form ball of dough.
5. Knead dough in bowl for 5 minutes.
6. On floured tabletop, further knead dough for 5 minutes. Form round ball and return to bowl. Cover with clean dish towel.
7. Replace water in sink with fresh warm water (or just heat up the water in pot) and place bowl in sink for 30 minutes while dough rises.
8. Preheat the oven to 425 deg F
9. Roll out pizza dough and spread onto two 12” round baking trays (or whatever you got, or divide dough in half and save it for later in the fridge or freezer)
10. Put on sauce and toppings
11. Bake 15-25 minutes or until the edge and bottoms of crust are golden brown.
12. Enjoy!!!
