Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 cup warm water
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 tablespoon honey (or sugar)
1 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons olive oil (or canola oil)
3 cups bread flour (give or take 1/2 cup...depending on the heat & humidity)

Steps:

In a large mixing bowl, preferably that of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, stir yeast and honey into warm water. Sit for 5-10 minutes or until bubbles form and mixture starts to foam. This tells you that the yeast is alive and kicking.
Pour in salt, olive oil and half the flour and mix. Once that flour is incorporated, start adding flour in bit by bit until you get the pizza dough to the consistency you want: slightly tacky, but when you touch it, it doesn't stick to your hands.
Once you reach this stage, knead on low for 6 minutes. The dough should be smooth and easy to work with. And the bowl should be mostly clean! {*This is the point when you could freeze your dough!! Divide into portions, place into freezer bags, seal removing all air, and freeze. To use, remove from freezer and let sit out to get to room temperature and double in size; 6-8 hours. Then use as you'd like.}
Lightly grease the bowl & the dough so it doesn't dry out, cover with plastic wrap and let it rise 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
Once pizza dough has risen, you can use as desired.

FAIL-PROOF PIZZA DOUGH & CHEESY GARLIC BREAD STICKS RECIPE - (4/5)

Fail-Proof Pizza Dough & Cheesy Garlic Bread Sticks Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by markemilw

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

PIZZA DOUGH:
1 cup warm water
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 tablespoon honey (or sugar)
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons olive or canola oil
3 cups bread flour (give or take 1/2 cup)
CHEESE GARLIC BREAD STICKS:
1/2 recipe Fail-Proof Pizza Dough from above
2 tablespoons softened salted butter
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 pound grated mozzarella cheese
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

PIZZA DOUGH: In a large mixing bowl, preferably that of a stand mixer, stir yeast and honey into warm water. Sit for 5 to 10 minutes or until bubbles form and mixture starts to foam. This tells you that the yeast is alive and kicking. Pour in salt, oil and half the flour and mix. Once that flour is incorporated, start adding flour in bit by bit until you get the pizza dough to the consistency you want: slightly tacky, but when you touch it it doesn't stick to your hands. Once you reach this stage, turn the mixer on high to knead for 6 minutes. Turn a timer on and walk away! Resist the temptation to stop earlier than 6 minutes! That seems to be the magical number. The dough should be smooth and easy to work with and the bowl should be clean! Lightly grease the bowl & the dough so it doesn't dry out, cover with plastic wrap and let it rise 1to 2 hours. CHEESY GARLIC BREAD STICKS: Preheat oven to 500°F with pizza stone inside. Mix butter and garlic in a small bowl and set aside. Spread pizza dough out into a 12-inch circle on parchment paper. (This makes it easier to transfer to the pizza stone.) Spread the butter and garlic mixture over dough and top with parmesan and mozzarella cheeses. Top with a light sprinkling of salt and pepper, if desired. Bake 9 to 10 minutes or until bubbly and golden. Remove from oven and cool 1 to 2 minutes before cutting. Serve hot, with marinara.

Tips for Making Perfect Pizza Dough and Cheesy Garlic Bread Sticks:

Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will result in a better-tasting final product. Look for high-protein flour, active dry yeast, and fresh garlic.
Proof the yeast: Proofing the yeast ensures that it is active and will help your dough rise properly. Combine the yeast, warm water, and a pinch of sugar in a small bowl and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, until it becomes foamy.
Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough helps to develop the gluten, which will give your dough a chewy texture. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
Let the dough rise: After kneading, place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Shape the dough: Once the dough has risen, you can shape it into a pizza crust or breadsticks. For pizza, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle. For breadsticks, cut the dough into 12 long strips.
Top the dough: For pizza, top the dough with your favorite toppings. For breadsticks, brush them with melted butter, sprinkle them with garlic powder and Parmesan cheese, and bake them in a preheated oven at 425°F for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.

Conclusion:

With these tips, you can easily make delicious pizza dough and cheesy garlic bread sticks at home. Be sure to use high-quality ingredients, proof the yeast, knead the dough properly, let the dough rise, and shape and top the dough correctly. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect pizza and breadsticks that everyone will love.
