Faster than delivery pizza
Sitting here with our Friday night pizza. Thought I'd share my recipe for quick dough. I realize that this may not be the same as what pizza you have in your part of the country (NYC, Chicago, etc.) But it's adaptable to thin crust, medium crust, thick crust. This is the recipe we use for the two of us, but when we had three kids at home, we scaled it up.
Mix together
- 2/3 c. warm water
- 2 t dry yeast
- 5 t olive oil
- 1 t honey
- 1.5 c. bread flour
Stir until smooth and let sit. I often use it within a minute. My daughter lets it run a couple of hours.
With oiled hands, spread out the dough to desired thickness. We go for a medium crust, about 10" diameter.
Add pizza sauce, favorite toppings, and about 3/4 lb. mozzarella cheese.
Bake at 450 until cheese is browned, about 15-17 minutes.
We've often done this in a dutch oven and got funny looks at the campgrounds.
