Improved pizza dough, 2.0
Using this simple pizza dough, plus leaving my pizza crust thin with a light layer of toppings proved to be a real winner. Much better than any store bought pizza. Made one pizza with lightly sauteed leeks/onions/mozzarella, and a second with more traditional American/mozzarella/pepperoni.
I didn't have any olive oil on hand, just used sesame oil, which gave the dough tremendous fragrance.
Pizza Dough
- 1.5 cups flour (I used unbleached)
- dash of salt
- 3/4 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 Tbsp oil (your choice)
- 1/2 cup lukewarm water (more as needed)
- Mix dry ingredients together.
- Then add oil, and lukewarm water.
- Mix together to form a wet dough.
- Cover with plastic wrap, let sit in oiled container for 2-3 hours or until doubled in size. Alternatively, do the first rise overnight in the refrigerator.
- Punch down, roll out into thin flat circle.
- In the meantime, prepare your toppings.
- Lightly coat pizza with toppings.
- Dust sheet pan with corn meal.
- Bake at 400 degrees F for about 12 minutes, or until crust is slightly browned.
- Enjoy!
