I saw this post and thought great, I will impress the family by
actually making my own pizza dough (previous attempts not good). I
could even have got the kids involved for the toppings. I now under
stand the secret ingredient comes at a cost on dvd.
Does anyone actually know a really simple and affective recipe for
pizza dough, as I understand the quality of ingredients make a big
difference?

Thanks

I worked at a pizza place in the 80's, and fairly successfully recreated
their recipe for crust and sauce, which I posted many moons ago in
rec.food.recipes. Here is the google.groups archive link to that post:

You'll notice that there is no salt added to the sauce, that is because
canned tomatoes already have enough salt in them. I do have to add a
bit of salt when using fresh tomatoes to make the sauce.

Pizza Dough







INGREDIENTS:



5 1/2 to 6 1/2 cups flour



1 tablespoon each:

active dry yeast

sugar

salt



2 TBS olive oil optional for
flavor



2 cups warm water



In the warm water dissolve in order, sugar, yeast, salt



Blend this into the flour



Turn out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and springy. Place
into a greased bowl and cover. Let rise until doubled in bulk (about 1 to
2hours).



Preheat oven to 450°



Punch down dough and cut into four pieces. Roll out each piece on a floured
surface, with a floured rolling pin.



Make into a 12" circle.



Let the dough relax several times to make it more cooperative. Turn it over
from time to time and roll the reverse side.



Brush on a bit of olive oil, spread with sauce and add toppings.



Bake for 15 minutes.







SOURCE: King Arthur Flour







Pasta per Pizza



Pizza Dough






1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast



1 1/2 cups warm water



3 1/2 to 3 3/4 cups all purpose unbleached flour



1/2 teaspoon salt



1 teaspoon olive oil





In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in 1/2 cup warm water. Allow the yeast
to proof until it is foamy, about 10 minutes.



Add the remaining 1 cup of warm water, combining it well with the yeast.
Add 3 cups of the flour and the salt. Mix the dough with your hands or use
a mixer with a dough hook, adding the remaining flour as needed to make a
dough that holds together.



Place the dough on a floured surface and knead it for about 10 minutes, or
until the dough is soft and not sticky. Grease a bowl with the olive oil.
Put the dough in the bowl and turn a few times to coat with the oil. Cover
the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let it rise for 2 hours in a warm
place.



Punch down the dough and knead it for a few minutes on a lightly floured
surface. Use the dough to make on large thick pizza or divide it in half to
make two small thin ones.

Stu,

A friend of the family gave me this recipe a few years back and we have used
it since with great success. Simple but effective.

Pizza Dough

Enough to make 3 pizza stone size pizzas

First, proof the yeast by putting 1 envelope of yeast and 2 tsp sugar in a 1
cup glass measuring cup, add hot water from the tap ( about 115 degrees, but
I don't use a thermometer, just hot water) let it sit 5-10 minutes, while
you mix the flour and stuff together. When it forms a fluffy layer on top,
add 1/4 cup olive oil to it, pour it into the flour and form a dough.

Whisk these next 3 ingredients together in a big bowl:
3 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp sugar


May need a tsp or more of water. It should form a ball or mound, spread
olive oil all over it, and cover. Let sit for 2 hours until doubled and
punch it down, repeat.
Roll it out with flour, I bake them at 425 for 15-20, depending on the
toppings and what pan I use, etc.
Enjoy!

If you do find out how to make good pizza dough can you let Pizza Hut
know? They're under the impression that pizza dough is made entirely
from grease.
