  • Luis,
    Also consider asking at some of your local pizza joints. They often sell dough balls. Mine sells unbaked pies to take home also.[p]TNW

  • Luis,
    If you have a Publix grocery store, get one of their refrigerated dough balls from the bakery section. They are 1 lb and (in my area) cost $1.69. I cut mine in half to make 2 thin pizzas. They are wonderful. :~)[p]Adrian

    I've tried a couple recipes 'from scratch' and haven't had great luck with any of them. The best crust I've come across has been from Trader Joes (if you have one in the area). you can buy a bunch and freeze what you don't use for use later on.

    here is my recipe - takes 3-5min

    Food Processor Dough:

    1 cup water(room temp)
    1 pack yeast
    1 tablsp olive oil (optional)
    1 teasp salt
    +/-3 cups Breadflour (always best when using yeast)

    Directions:
    Pour water into processor, add yeast - give a quick pulse.
    Add about 1 cup breadflour, salt & oil - give a few quick pulses.
    Add 1 ½ cup more breadflour & process to form a ball- adding more flour as needed.

    The dough should not be sticky, so adjust the flour used to get a fairly firm, smooth dough.
    Remove from the processor bowl & place on a floured surface to knead it a few more times by hand.
    Place the dough in a covered bowl to rise til double +/-1 ½ hours.
    Remove from the bowl, punch down & form ino two balls that can be rolled out into two 12" pizzas.
    ( you may want to fold over the edges, to give an edge crust/rim to contain sauce & ingredients)
    my last BGE bake was @ 400°F 35-40min.
  • Luis,
    If you have a Trader Joes nearby they sell bags of fresh (non-frozen) dough, both regular and whole wheat. Very inexpensive, about $1.10 a bag which is enough for two thin-crust mediums.
