Food Processor Pizza Dough

We've all probably got one sitting in a cupboard.  Stumbled upon this interesting theory, and am slowly becoming a convert.

http://slice.seriouseats.com/archives/2010/10/the-pizza-lab-how-to-make-great-new-york-style-pizza.html

Fellow egger Carolina Q steered me to this easy peasy New York style dough.  Yields 3 14" doughballs.

http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2010/10/new-york-style-pizza.html?ref=search

It is best to use the regular blade, dough blade is not necessary.  Recipe says to pulse for 15 sec...more like 30-45 sec.  Another tip learned the hard way is to use bottled water.  Some tap water kills yeast, at least mine does.  Best results have been with a 2 day cold rise.

With a scale, bowl, and FP, it takes less than 5 minutes to throw this together.

For today's Zas, I tried going with 1/3 KA Whole Wheat and 2/3 KA Bread flour.  Setup consisted of inverted platesetter, egg feet, stone.  Temp was a couple of ticks above five hundo.

First pie:  alfredo sauce, mozz, chedda, ernyin, grn pepp, parfrozen grilled chicken breast, basil. 

Second pie: Enrico's pizza sauce, mozz, chedda, grn pepp, ernyin, roasted red pepp, sausage, anchovies, basil.

Ol' Unkie Pook hit paydirt like the Bears Defense by getting a 2, 5, and 6 year old to eat ernyin, peppers, and basil.  Was shocked they liked the first one, so I went a little overboard with the second for the "big boys". 

First try of the anchovies.  Glad I scaled back and used only 4 chopped filets.   

Having issues with the pics, apologies in advance.

    Great looking pie and dough. May have to give this one a try.

    Great looking pizzas and nice crust. I've been meaning to try this method. And I like that you threw some whole wheat.

    @Tjcoley,

    Thanks, dough is very pliable and easy to stretch.

    Thanks, New York style is my favorite, combination of crunch and chew.  Whole wheat really intensifies the flavor.  Prefer all bread flour though.  This is the "healthy" version.  ;)

    I used that recipe and it was my best dough yet. I'm not sure yet if it was the food processor or the "00" flour but the dough had a good consistency and was easy to stretch. Your pies look great, and it certainly looks like the little ones enjoyed them.

    Hungry Joe, my results with this dough are identical.  Thanks for the kind words, it was a good day. :)

  • @Focker, looks very similar to this one I've posted here a couple of times. It is easy, works and stores very well. The only issue was the power of the food processor, our's is a tired old guy that really strained to make the dough, results were very good. 

    Great cook and thanks for sharing... looks like the most important "critics" are really enjoying the pie, there lies the reward or as you say "it was a good day".

    Thanks

    Yes, it is.  ATK's Chicago Deep Dish is on the list of things to try.  Chris got a little hot under the bowtie when he was at Lou Malnati's in Chicago and the owner would not reveal any tips.

    The critics can be picky at times, I was a little thrown off.  Pizza is by far, our favorite cook on the egg.  Possibilities are endless.

    I used that recipe, but screwed it up with regular flour. Now have the right flour, but haven't messed with it again. So many cooks to try, so little time....
