Make your ownn dough. It's easy. I've been doing it for the family every Friday night for the past 10 years.
one thick crust or two really thin (the way I like 'em)
combine 2 cups all purpose flour and a fat pinch of salt in large mixing bowl.
pour one package of rapid rise yeast into 2/3 cups of hot tap water and stir in a fat pinch of sugar.
When the water/yeast mixture starts to foam up, add it to the flour/salt mixture and pour in 2-3 tbsp. olive oil.
knead until the texture becomes satin-y. If it is sticky, add more flour.
Allow to rise for at least an hour... that when you pre-heat your pizza stone to 450 degrees.
Roll out (or stretch by hand) the dough and place on a cornmeal covered peel (the wooden paddle-thing) and tops as you please. slide onto the pre-heated stone and cook for 12 minutes. |
