AN ITALIAN'S CLASSIC PIZZA DOUGH



An Italian's Classic Pizza Dough image

Cooking for a couple of decades you are always tweaking. I have several dough recipes, but this is the one that consistently gets the high marks from my guest. A hot pizza stone works best, but a good hot oven is the key.

Provided by Country Chef

Categories     Breads

Time 1h

Yield 2 pies, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 cup cool water
1 (1/4 ounce) envelope active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
3 cups flour
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • In a small bowl combine salt, honey, olive oil, and cool water.
  • Mix well and set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Allow to proof for ten minutes.
  • After proofing combine honey mixture and yeast in one large mixing bowl.
  • Add flour, one cup at a time, into the combined liquid mixture. Dough is an art - depending on your paradigm you may want to work this with your hands, add a T of water if it is dry.
  • Place dough ball on lightly floured surface and knead until smooth.
  • Place dough in covered buttered (melted) bowl and allow dough to rest for 30 minutes. A slightly warmed oven (90 degree) is great.
  • Divide into two equal sized dough balls.
  • If using a pizza stone, place stone in oven and preheat oven to 450 for at least ten minutes.
  • Roll out into two pies and add your favorite sauce and topping combinations.

REAL ITALIAN PIZZA DOUGH



Real Italian Pizza Dough image

Pizza dough as it is made in Italy. When I first moved to Italy, I was surprised to see that deciding to eat a pizza for dinner meant whipping up pizza dough with a few common ingredients a couple of hours before. Using fresh, compressed yeast, it rises in an hour. Stretchy, chewy, and so full of flavor, there's no need to order out. This dough works for calzone as well as focaccia, and the recipe doubles perfectly!

Categories     Bread     Pizza Dough and Crust Recipes

Time 1h35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed
2 teaspoons salt
3 ¾ teaspoons fresh, compressed yeast
1 ¼ cups water, at room temperature
2 ½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to the lowest setting possible.
  • Combine 4 cups flour and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment; turn mixer on low speed. Crumble yeast into small pieces and add to the flour. Slowly pour in water. Scrape the sides to make sure all flour is incorporated and mix until dough begins to pull away from the sides and form a ball. Drizzle in oil and mix until fully incorporated.
  • Knead on low speed for 5 or 6 minutes, adding 1 to 2 tablespoons extra flour if needed. Remove dough from the bowl and use your hands to form a ball. Return dough to the bowl and score the top with an "x." Cover with a damp cloth.
  • Turn oven off and place dough in the oven to rise for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours.
  • Remove dough from the oven and reattach the bowl to the stand mixer. Uncover and punch down dough. Knead on low speed for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place a pizza stone or tray on the bottom oven rack and preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Cut dough into 4 equal pieces and roll each one into ball. Dust with flour if needed. Place balls on a sheet pan and cover with a damp cloth. Roll out each ball into a 9-inch circle and top with desired toppings (no more than 1 cup sauce per pizza).
  • Place pizza on the pizza stone in the preheated oven. Immediately lower the temperature to 410 degrees F (210 degrees C) and bake for 10 to 12 minutes; actual length of time will depend on your toppings. Repeat to make remaining pizzas.

Tips:

  • Use fresh and high-quality ingredients, especially the yeast. Old or inactive yeast can prevent the dough from rising properly.
  • Make sure the water is warm but not hot. Hot water can kill the yeast, while cold water will prevent it from activating.
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help develop the gluten in the flour, which will give the dough its structure and chewiness.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will allow the yeast to produce gas, which will make the dough light and airy.
  • Be patient! Making good bread takes time. Don't rush the process, or you will end up with dense, heavy bread.

Conclusion:

Feather bread pizza dough is a delicious and versatile dough that can be used to make a variety of pizzas. It is light and airy, with a crispy crust and a chewy interior. This dough is also easy to make, so it is a great option for beginner bread bakers. Whether you are making a classic pepperoni pizza or a more creative pie, feather bread pizza dough is sure to please everyone at the table.
