I have been making pizza every week to try and come up with a good recipe for dough. All the others I have made end up looking (and feeling) like glue. This was a very nice dough, and very easy to make. Definitely worth spending the time to make the pizza dough. You can also freeze the dough prior to the rise, and save it to use later. Stop spending $6-8/pizza on frozen pizza or $12 - 18 on delivered!!! So easy to make!!
1 package active dry yeast
1 cup warm water
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. olive oil
2 1/2 - 3 1/2 cups flour (I like to use 1/2 AP flour & 1/2 wheat)
1 tablespoon cornmeal
Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add salt, olive oil and 2 1/2 cups flour. Mix on medium low for 1 minute. Continuing on medium-low, add remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time, and mix about 2 minutes or until dough clings to hook and cleans sides of bowl. Knead on medium about 2 minutes longer.
Place dough in a greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in bulk. Punch down. Brush 14 inch pizza pan with oil. Sprinkle with cornmeal. Press dough across bottom of pan, forming a collar around edge to hold toppings. Prick bottom of crust to prevent bubbling. Add toppings, as desired. Bake at 450°F for 15 - 20 minutes.
