My husband has the best recipe for pizza dough, and since he introduced me to it I don't even really care for delivery-style pizza.
Not only is this recipe healthier, it makes for a fun family cooking event. We have a great time experimenting with toppings. Our favorite so far? Sausage, corn, rotel tomatoes and cheddar cheese. We call it our queso pizza.
Knead the dough by hand or use a stand mixer with a kneading attachment. Either way is easy.
Ingredients:
1 package active dry yeast
1/3 cup warm water
2 T sugar
2 cups bread flour
2-3 T olive oil
Italian seasoning
Combine yeast, water and sugar in a bowl and let stand for 5 minutes. Add flour, olive oil and seasoning. Mix well. Run a stream of warm water over the bowl, while mixing. Stir until maleable. Use your judgement to add a little flour and/or olive oil until you're able to handle the dough. Either knead on low for 10 minutes in a stand mixer or knead by hand 8-10 minutes.
Spray a baking sheet with Pam; let the dough rise on the baking sheet for at least 1 hour, and up to 5 hours. Preheat the oven to 500. Spread the dough out and bake 2 minutes. Remove dough from oven and top with tomato sauce or olive oil. Layer toppings, then cheese. Bake 8-10 minutes and serve.
Enjoy!
