GRANDMA'S PIZZA

Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Yield 2 pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/2 cups flour (I'm using bread flour but you could use all-purpose)
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon instant yeast or 1/2 ounce fresh yeast
Extra-virgin olive oil, for the baking sheets
One 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes (San Marzano if possible)
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
10 leaves fresh basil
3 cloves garlic
Kosher salt
12 ounces mozzarella (fresh if possible), sliced or shredded
Cracked black pepper
Chile flakes, for sprinkling, optional
Grated Parmesan, for sprinkling
12 leaves fresh basil

Steps:

  • For the dough: Combine the flour, salt and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment. Stir to combine, then add 1 cup water. Mix on low speed until the dough comes together into a rough ball. Continue mixing at medium-low speed until the dough forms a smooth, silky ball, about 10 minutes. Form the dough into a tight ball, set in the bottom of the mixer bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place until the dough has roughly doubled in size, about an hour.
  • Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
  • Cut the dough in half; you should have enough for two 9-by-13-inch baking sheets. You can make both pizzas now, or hold the dough in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Lightly oil one or two 9-by-13-inch baking sheets. Add the dough and press down on it to spread it toward the edges. You won't be able to get it all the way to the edges, so spread it as much as you can without tearing. If the dough isn't stretching well, cover and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes, then stretch again.
  • For the sauce: Put the tomatoes, olive oil, basil, garlic and some salt in a blender and puree until smooth.
  • For the topping: Spread the sauce all the way to the corners of the dough. Top the sauce with the mozzarella and sprinkle with black pepper and chile flakes if using. Bake until the dough is crisp and the cheese is melted, 10 to 12 minutes. Top with the basil and some Parmesan and serve.

Categories     Bread     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes enough dough for 1 pie (about 6 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 envelope active dry yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)
1 1/2 cups warm water (105-110°)
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus 1/2 cup
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Combine 1 envelope active dry yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons) and 1 1/2 cups warm water (105-110°) in a large bowl; let stand until yeast starts to foam, about 10 minutes.
  • Mix in 2 tablespoons olive oil, then 2 cups all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons kosher salt. Add another 2 cups all-purpose flour, a cup at a time, mixing until incorporated and a shaggy dough forms.
  • Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until soft, smooth, and elastic, 10-12 minutes. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Chill 24 hours.
  • Coat an 18x13" rimmed baking sheet with 1/2 cup olive oil.
  • Gently and gradually stretch dough until it reaches the edges of baking sheet. (If dough springs back or is stiff to work with, let it rest 10 minutes before continuing. You may need to let it rest more than once.)
  • Cover dough on baking sheet tightly with plastic wrap and let sit in a warm place (but not too warm!-about 70° is ideal for yeast to grow) until it is puffed and full of air bubbles, 30-40 minutes.

GRANDMA PIZZA DOUGH



Grandma Pizza Dough image

All-purpose flour contains less gluten than bread flour, giving this dough a softer, more tender texture. It can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to three days. Use it as the crust for our Grandma-Style Pizza.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Time 15m

Yield Makes enough for 1 pizza

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/4 cups warm water (110 degrees)
1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast (not rapid-rise)
6 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for bowl

Steps:

  • Combine water and yeast in a bowl; let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add flour, salt, sugar, and oil, stirring until a ragged dough forms. Transfer to a lightly floured work surface and knead with floured hands until elastic and tacky but no longer sticky, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl brushed with oil, turning dough to evenly coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in volume, 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours; or refrigerate until doubled in volume, at least 12 hours and up to 3 days (return to room temperature before using, 1 to 2 hours).

Tips:

  • To make the pizza bread ahead of time, prepare the dough and let it rise. Then, shape the dough and place it on a greased baking sheet. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When you're ready to bake, preheat the oven and bake the pizza bread according to the recipe instructions.
  • For a crispy crust, bake the pizza bread on a preheated baking stone or pizza pan. You can also brush the crust with olive oil before baking for an extra crispy crust.
  • To make the pizza bread more flavorful, add your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include pepperoni, sausage, bacon, mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers. You can also add a layer of cheese to the top of the pizza bread before baking.
  • Serve the pizza bread hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or blue cheese dressing.

Conclusion:

Grandpa's Pizza Bread is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for any occasion. You can use store-bought or homemade pizza dough, and you can add your favorite toppings to make it your own. Whether you're serving it as an appetizer, main course, or snack, Grandpa's Pizza Bread is sure to be a hit.
