pizza dough recipe

TnVolKen

We have been using pre-made pizza dough, does anyone have a simple basic recipe for pizza dough that works well on the egg?

I dont have it with me but search zippylip and see a post for his. It's easy to make and good. If no one posts one, I'll find one if you need. The recipe I like to use takes a few days to rise. If you search Fidel, it's pretty much like his.

Here's one I did last night. Turned out great !! I used the following recipe, but added some herbs (rosemary, fennel seed, basil, oregano) that I had steeped in EVOO. I baked the pizza on the Egg at 550° - 600°. I rolled it out pretty thin, so the crust was crunchy, just like I like it.

3 cups Flour , bread or high gluten
1 ½ teaspoons Yeast, Active dry
1 cup Water, warm (105-110 deg)
1 ½ tablespoons Salt, Kosher
1 teaspoon Sugar
½ teaspoon Garlic powder
½ teaspoon Onion powder
3 tablespoons Olive oil

Pour warm water, yeast, sugar and a small amount of flour in a bowl and mix the ingredients together. Let it stand for 8-10 minutes to let the yeast activate.

Pour flour, salt and 1 Tbsp of Olive Oil in an electric mixer (using Dough Hook) and lightly mixed it up. Add Yeast water and mix for 7-10 minutes until dough is coming off the sides but still slightly sticking to the bottom.

Shape the dough into a ball and place it on a slightly floured table and let rest for 2-3 minutes

Pour remaining 2 Tbsp of oil into the bowl and mix it around the bowl to coat it with oil and place the dough in the bowl. Turn the dough until the oil lightly coats it. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set it in warm, dark location. (I put it in the oven to get it out of the way)

Let the dough rise for 2 hours.

After the 2 hours, take large dough ball and cut in 1/2 to create 2 pizza dough balls. (these pizza dough balls will be roughly 12 ounces each)

Cover the dough with a light moist cloth and let rise for 1 hour.

I've tried several, but this is the one that I like the best.

Pizza Dough – Cuisinart Recipe Collection
2 packages yeast
2 tsp sugar
2 ½ cups warm water
6 2/3 cups flour
1 tbsp kosher salt
2 tsp olive oil


Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand 3-5 minutes until foamy. Using a food processor or stand mixer with dough attachment, combine flour and salt. Add yeast mixture slowly until a dough ball forms and cleans the sides of the work bowl. Knead an additional minute. Dough should be slightly sticky.
Coat a large bowl with olive oil and cover all sides of the dough ball. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let dough rise 45 minutes – 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Place dough on slightly oiled surface. Roll out into desired size.

Recipe will make enough dough for at least 2 deep dish pizzas or 4 large size thin crust pizzas. You can also freeze the leftover dough.

I have two that I like...

The first was inspired by a recipe I found on a website called Fabulous Foods, and modified a bit. It consists of:

1 cup warm water
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons honey or turbinado sugar
1 teaspoon rapid rise yeast
3 1/2 cups bread flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons garlic powder

This one makes two crusts if you leave the dough somewhat thick. You could probably get 3 or 4 if you go with a thin crust.



The 2nd comes from Peter Reinhart's book The Bread Bakers Apprentice. It uses:

4 1/2 cups bread flour
1 3/4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon instant yeast
1/4 cup olive oil
1 3/4 cups ice cold water

This one makes 6 thinner crusts. It wants to sit in the fridge overnight for better flavor.

For some reason, I didn't get a picture of a finished pie from this one.

Writeups of both recipes are on our blog at:
