Makes: 6 orange-sized dough balls
Ingredients
3 cups warm water
1 T. and 1 t. active dry yeast
1 T. and 1t. salt
4 cups all purpose flour
2 ½ cups bread flour
Artisan Pizza Dough
Instructions
You will want a large, clean bowl to make and hold the dough in.
measure 3 cups warm water into the bucket; add yeast, salt, and
flour. mix until all the flour is moist, the dough should be firm but
sticky. let this rise until it doubles, about 1 hour. The dough is
now ready to shape into dough balls or put in the fridge until it
is ready to use, this will last 3 days. The dough is much easier to
handle after being chilled in the fridge. Scrape dough out of the
bucket and shape into 6 dough balls the size of a large orange.
let them rise at room temperature for 30 minutes if not chilled,
and about 2 hours if chilled.
The bread flour in the recipe is required in order to be able to
stretch your dough very thin. You will find that a rolling pin will
not be necessary. The dough should also be wetter than normal
dough so that your pizza crust will have the air pockets of true
artisan bread. Use flour to coat the dough so you can handle it.
Stretch to about a 12 inch pizza, dust a pizza peel with flour, put
the dough on it and top your pizza.
Note: If you choose to use premade dough such as Rhodes, it
works fine. Just be aware that your crust will be thicker and you
may need to use a rolling pin. You will also want to cook your
pizza at a lower temperature for a bit longer.
