How To Make mediterranean pizza dough
-
Step 1In the bowl of a stand mixer, add active dry yeast, lukewarm water, and honey. Stir well and let it sit for 15 minutes or until foaming.
-
Step 2Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, add 2 1/2 cups flour, Greek seasoning, garlic powder, and salt; whisk well and set aside.
-
Step 3When the yeast is alive, add dry ingredients, roasted red peppers, and oil.
-
Step 4With the dough hook attachment, process on speed 2 for 2 minutes before increasing to speed 3. Mix until the dough clings around the hook, adding a tablespoon at a time of reserved flour.
-
Step 5Increase speed to 4 and knead for 4 minutes.
-
Step 6With lightly oiled hands, pull the dough under, forming a ball. Place it in a large, lightly greased bowl and swirl around to coat.
-
Step 7Cover with a clean dish towel and transfer to a draft-free area such as an oven (with the temperature off). Let it rise for 1 hour.
-
Step 8After 60 minutes, punch the dough, pull it under to form a ball, place it back in the bowl, cover, and return to its draft-free spot for a second rise of an hour.
-
Step 9Punch it again to deflate it and place it on a lightly floured work surface; form a ball. Divide evenly into two pieces using a bench scraper.
-
Step 10After forming each piece into a ball, flour the work surface again as well as the dough ball and rolling pin. Roll out the dough into two 14-inch diameters – if it starts to retract, let the gluten relax for a minute or two before continuing.
-
Step 11Transfer each rolled-out pizza dough onto a separate pizza pan lightly dusted with cornmeal. Proceed with your pizza recipe.
