Dr. Gorganzola and Mr Hyde

Borders

<p />Hey Guys, I'm fast becoming a huge fan of Mr Hydes pizza dough. Tonight I topped it w/mozzarella, gorganzola, sundried tomatos and walnuts. The sauce was the olive oil from the sundried tomato jar. Oh man![p]Zah was cooked 18 mins @ 500.

Borders,
Since I found that dough recipe, we have been making pizza a lot more. Great for calzones too.[p]I have been looking for a recipe like Larry's for a long time. Just the right amount of chew, nice crusting and a perfect texture.[p]Zahs to you

Chef Wil, No Prob:
Well, it took a while for me to get it all written up, but here is Mr. Hyde's Pizza Recipe for those who asked.... [p]For the Dough...
1 pkg. active dry yeast (NOT the Rapid Rise kind)
1 tsp sugar
1 1/4 cups warm water (105° - 115°)
3 1/3 cups high gluten flour (King Arthurs)
1 1/2 tsp salt
3 tsp extra virgin olive oil [p]In a 2-cup measuring cup, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand until foamy, maybe 3-5 minutes. Using a food processor with the dough blade attached, add flour, salt and 2 tsp olive oil to the bowl. Using the dough setting, pour the yeast liquid through the feed tube as fast as the flour will absorb it. Process until the dough cleans the sides of the bowl and forms a ball. Continue to process about 30 more seconds to knead the dough. Put a little olive oil on your hands and lift the dough out. Coat the dough with the remaining 1 tsp olive oil, transfer to a large Ziploc bag and seal bag. Let rise in a warm place for about an hour. Punch dough down and let rise a second time (another hour). When ready, put a little olive oil on your hands and remove dough from Ziploc bag. Cut into two pieces and form into 2 dough balls. Place dough balls on an oiled cookie sheet and flatten into 2 discs (about 1” thick). Let proof uncovered in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours or overnight. Makes two 14” pizzas. Meanwhile, prepare toppings for pizzas. [p]When ready, set cooker up for an indirect cook with platesetter legs down and pizza stone on top. Preheat cooker, setter, and stone to 550°. While cooker is preheating, spray pizza screen with Pam and make pizzas. [p]For the Pizzas...
Roasted garlic infused olive oil (about 1 tbsp)
1/2 to 3/4 cup red sauce (spaghetti, marinara, pizza, whatever you have)
Parmesan cheese (about 2 tbsp), grated
Mozzarella cheese (about 1/2 lb), shredded
Roasted garlic (5-6 cloves), chopped
Toppings (onion, peppers, olives, tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms)
***above estimated amounts are for one pizza [p]Take a dough ball and roll out to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. For best results, throw pizza dough and spin in the air so that centrifugal force moves the dough to the outside of the circle to form a thicker crust around the edge. If you’re not comfortable with throwing the pie, you can stretch it by hand. Place the dough onto the pizza screen and shape as needed. Lightly brush dough with garlic-infused olive oil until lightly coated. Add sauce, starting in the center and spreading in a circular fashion out to the edges, using the bottom of a spoon or ladle. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and Parmesan cheese. Then sprinkle with about 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese. Add roasted garlic and additional toppings, if desired. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese. Place pizza screen with pizza into cooker and bake for about 5 minutes. Check pizza for bubbles, and if present, poke with a long-handled fork to deflate. Also, turn pizza 180° to get an even browning of the crust. Let cook 3-5 more minutes. If it looks like the top is done but the crust needs a little more browning, use the peel to lift the pizza off the screen and place directly on the stone for another minute. Leave the dome open so the toppings don’t get overdone. Remove from cooker and let sit for 5 minutes before eating. [p]Enjoy,
Tonia
