PIZZA AND FLATBREAD DOUGH



Pizza and Flatbread Dough image

An easy Pizza and Flatbread Dough recipe.

Provided by Michael Lomonaco

Categories     Bread

Yield Makes enough for two or three 12-inch pizza crusts, depending on thickness

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 cups unbleached flour, plus more for dusting a work surface
Fine sea salt
1 envelope (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
3 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • 1. Process the flour and 2 teaspoons salt in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the dough hook until thoroughly incorporated, 1 minute.
  • 2. Put the yeast in another bowl. Whisk in 1/4 cup warm water, then 2 tablespoons of the oil. Let rest until the liquid begins to foam, about 10 minutes, then pour this mixture into the center of the flour. Mix the flour and yeast solution until incorporated. Add 3/4 cup warm water to the flour and mix again until the dough pulls together in a single, unified mass.
  • 3. Turn the mass out onto a lightly floured surface and begin to knead the dough by working it with the heel of your hand. Push outward and pull the inside edge over the top. Repeat the process over and over to create a smooth ball of dough free of stickiness. This should take 6 to 8 minutes.
  • 4. Brush a clean, stainless-steel bowl with the remaining tablespoon oil and put the ball of dough in the bowl. Cover with a clean cloth and let rise at room temperature until it has doubled in size, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • 5. When the dough has risen, divide it in half, or thirds for thinner pizzas, and shape the pieces into balls that will later be patted into the traditional pizza shape. The balls of dough can be individually wrapped in plastic and frozen for up to 2 months.

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup boiling water
1/3 cup yellow cornmeal
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (100 degrees - 110 degrees)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons olive oil
cooking spray
1 tablespoon yellow cornmeal, divided

Steps:

  • Combine the boiling water and 1/3 cup cornmeal in a bowl; let stand 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Dissolve yeast in warm water in a small bowl, and let stand 5 minutes. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups, and level with a knife. Combine cornmeal mixture, flour and salt in a food processor, and pulse 4 times or until blended. With processor on, slowly add yeast mixture and oil through food chute; process until dough forms a ball. Process 1 additional minute. (To prepare dough by hand, combine cornmeal mixture, flour, and salt in a bowl; stir until well-blended. Add yeast mixture and oil, stirring well.).
  • Turn dough out onto a floured surface, and knead lightly 4 or 5 times (dough will feel tacky). Place dough in a bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover; let rise in a warm place (85 degrees), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in size. (Press two fingers into dough. If indentation remains, the dough has risen enough.).
  • Punch down dough; cover and let rest 5 minutes. Divide dough into 4 equal portions, shaping each into a ball (cover remaining dough while working to prevent it from drying).
  • Roll each ball into a 10 x 6 inch oval. Place 2 ovals on a baking sheet lightly dusted with 1 1/2 teaspoons cornmeal. Repeat procedure with remaining 2 ovals on an additional baking sheet lightly dusted with 1 1/2 teaspoons cornmeal. Add toppings and bake according to recipe directions (see recipe for Zucchini, Walnut, and blue cheese flatbread and mushroom, onion and cherry tomato flatbread recipes). Note: If you use whole-grain cornmeal, which still contains some of the hull and germ of the dried corn, you will need to increase the flour to 2 1/4 cups.

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Flour: For a crispy and chewy flatbread, use a combination of all-purpose flour and bread flour. Bread flour contains more protein, resulting in a stronger dough that can hold its shape better.
  • Water Temperature: When activating the yeast, use warm water between 105-115°F (40-46°C). This temperature range promotes optimal yeast activity without killing it.
  • Kneading the Dough: Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes. Proper kneading helps develop the gluten in the flour, giving the flatbread its characteristic texture.
  • Resting the Dough: After kneading, allow the dough to rest for at least 30 minutes. This resting period allows the yeast to ferment and the flavors to develop, resulting in a more flavorful flatbread.
  • Shaping the Dough: Roll out the dough into a thin circle, about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick. Use a rolling pin or your hands to achieve a uniform thickness.
  • Toppings and Baking: Add your desired toppings before baking. Brush the edges of the flatbread with olive oil to create a golden-brown crust. Bake the flatbread in a preheated oven at a high temperature, around 450-500°F (230-260°C), until the crust is crispy and the toppings are cooked through.

Conclusion:

With its simple ingredients and versatile nature, flatbread is a delicious and convenient meal option. By following these tips and experimenting with different toppings and seasonings, you can create a wide variety of flavorful flatbreads that cater to your taste preferences. Whether you're craving a quick snack, a light lunch, or an appetizer for a gathering, flatbread is a versatile and crowd-pleasing dish that can be enjoyed by all. So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and embark on a culinary journey of creating delicious flatbreads that will surely become a staple in your kitchen.
