ONE POUND PIZZA DOUGH ABM (OR 1 1/2 POUNDS)



One Pound Pizza Dough Abm (Or 1 1/2 Pounds) image

This is based on a recipe from BH&G's Bread Machine Bounty. It's delicious and simple and makes a one pound (or 1 1/2 pounds in parens) pizza dough. Cook time does not include bread machine dough cycle. You may optionally freeze the dough, or half the dough, for later use. To freeze: wrap in plastic wrap and transfer to a freezer bag; seal, label, and freeze for up to 3 months; to thaw, let dough stand at room temperature about 2 1/2 hours or till thawed; you may also thaw overnight in the refrigerator. UPDATE: after reading the first reviewer's comments about the cooking method, I have to confess that while I use this recipe for the dough itself, I've never followed these cooking instructions, nor have I tried to freeze the dough; I've included those instructions because they came with the recipe and I wanted to be thorough in adding this recipe to Zaar. I'm intrigued enough to want to try both cooking methods and freezing the dough and will report back! :)

Time 2h40m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup warm water
1 (.25 ounce) package rapid-rise yeast
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup bread flour
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Dissolve yeast in warm water about 110 degrees F (43 degrees C) in a bowl. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
  • Whisk together all-purpose flour, bread flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Pour in canola oil, olive oil, and warm yeast mixture.

  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and form into a ball. Place dough ball into a bowl that's been brushed or sprayed with oil; cover with plastic wrap. Let dough rise for 1 hour.
  • Place dough onto a lightly floured work surface and punch down. Divide dough in 1/2 and form into 2 balls. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise for an additional 45 minutes.
  • Place each dough ball on a lightly floured work surface and form into a 12-inch round pizza crust.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Top pizzas as desired.

Tips and Conclusion

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the quality of your pizza. Use fresh, flavorful tomatoes, cheese, and toppings.
  • Make sure your dough is well-kneaded. Kneading the dough helps to develop the gluten, which gives the pizza its chewy texture. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place. This will help the dough to double in size and become light and airy. Let the dough rise for at least 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
  • Roll out the dough thinly. The thinner the dough, the crispier the pizza will be. Roll out the dough to a 12-inch circle.
  • Top the pizza with your favorite toppings. Be creative and use whatever toppings you like. Some popular toppings include pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, onions, and peppers.
  • Bake the pizza in a hot oven. The hotter the oven, the crispier the pizza will be. Bake the pizza at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Making a one-pound pizza dough is a fun and easy process. With a little practice, you'll be able to make delicious pizzas that your family and friends will love. So what are you waiting for? Get started today!
