Easy and you can use a food processor to mix it up. It makes 1 large 16" and some left over.
1 pkg (2 1/2 tsp) dry active yeast
1 tsp sugar
1 cup warm water
1/8 cup EVOO
1 tsp salt
3 c. all-purpose flour
Put yeast and sugar in a large mixing bowl, pour warm water on top. Let rest for 5-10 minutes to activate (it gets foamy). Add olive oil and salt to the yeast mixture.
Slowly, add the flour.
Mix and knead for 10 minutes. The dough hook on the Kitchen Aid mixer really helps this process. Loosely cover and let rise for 45 minutes.
Divide the dough as you please. Typically 3/4 of the dough makes a 16" pizza. The other 1/4 makes great garlic knots.
Bake @ 425 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
**I have partially baked them and then prepped it with toppings and cooked it later.
Family Recipe Collection
What's This About?
Food is such a wonderful thing! Not only does it sustain us, but it enriches our lives. How many times have you tasted a dish and it takes you back to another time and place-- one filled with cherished memories? How many times have you tried to recreate those memorable dishes to find that you can't remember all the ingredients or how they are suppose to intermingle?
This is a food project for my family. My intention is to shorten the distance between us all and share in making memories together. I want us all to add tried and true recipes from past and present generations. Please feel free to add any stories or thoughts to these recipes, too.
When this project is near completion, I hope to have a marvelous collection of recipes that bring us closer together as a family. We'll have an heirloom cookbook of recipes and stories we can pass onto future generations.
