PIZZA DOUGH FOR BEST-EVER
INGREDIENTS
•
(Makes plenty of dough for one pizza with some left over for breadsticks or another small pizza!)
•
You will need a bread machine. Skip down to "adequate dough" if you do not.
•
Add these ingredients to your machine in the order given...
•
1 ½ cups hot water
•
1/3 cup oil
•
¼ cup honey
•
1 egg, well-whisked
•
2 tsp. salt
•
1 Tbsp gluten (optional)
•
5 cups whole wheat flour (I've found this works best if you add just a little extra flour.)
•
1 Tbsp active dry yeast
•
Run your machine on a "dough" cycle.
•
FOR ADEQUATE PIZZA DOUGH
•
(Makes just enough for one pizza)
•
If you don't have a bread machine (and if you don't, you need one!) here is another version for the crust.
•
1 Tbsp yeast (or 1 package of rapid-rise yeast)
•
1 tsp. salt
•
1 Tbsp. sugar
•
1 cup hot water
•
Add these together and let sit for 10 min. so the yeast will activate (and do its wondrous yeasty thing).
•
Add:
•
1 Tbsp oil (we use olive oil)
•
2 cups flour (it can be a mixture of white and whole wheat).
•
Mix well. Let rise for 45 minutes to an hour.
